Quotes by Beginning One of the nicest things I ever read about our show was that a critic felt 'Boardwalk Empire' could be the beginning of the blur between television and cinema, because the production values are so high and the storytelling is so compelling. Terence Winter beginningblurcinematelevision Think about 'GoodFellas': It could be a textbook on how not to write a screenplay. It leans on voice-over at the beginning, then abandons it for a while, then the character just talks right into the camera at the end. That structure is so unusual that you don't have any sense of what's going to happen next. Taylor Sheridan camerabeginningyoucharacter Creation stories, so central in the religions of the Middle East, play a surprisingly marginal part in Greek myth. The Greeks had nothing to set alongside the resounding 'In the beginning' in the book of Genesis, where one eternal God creates the universe out of nothing. Neil MacGregor beginninguniversegodbook As the Persians wrote very little about how they ran their affairs, the Greek propaganda of the 5th century B.C. has for centuries gone virtually unchallenged - indeed, for Edward Said, it was the beginning of Europe's long habit of misunderstanding and ill-informed contempt of the Middle East. Neil MacGregor beginningmisunderstandinghabitlong To be honest, at the beginning of 2019, I never thought about making my ODI debut. Vijay Shankar aboutbeginningneverthought If your budget is in good shape and you are not indebted too much, you can do what the U.S. did at the beginning of the '30s - building railways, etc., but when you don't have that, you must be far more cautious. Viktor Orban beginninggoodyoubuilding The outcome, the fourth in an issue of five boys born into a staunch Baptist home, meant that from the beginning I was taught to be respectful of others no less than myself, influencing ever since both my political and administrative attitudes. James Black beginningmyselfpoliticalhome This is just the beginning of a new era for America's workers. James P. Hoffa newbeginningjustamerica When I started The Shins, it really was just me, alone, but it was still The Shins. I was totally recording stuff and writing songs as The Shins and all of that. So the beginning inception of the whole thing was some sort of a lie, I guess. James Mercer liealonebeginningme The very, very beginning is that my mother and father were aviators. James Rosenquist verybeginningmotherfather 'Lean on Pete' is the story of a boy and his horse, but it is never heart-warming - it ranges in tone from desperate to merely painful - and, while fascinating, it is never entertaining or redemptive. But if you want an unadorned portrait of American life (at least in some places) at the beginning of the 21st century, this is the book for you. Jane Smiley beginningyoulifebook I had a really tragic cut at the beginning of Season 2 of 'Ally McBeal.' Someone convinced me that it would be good to layer my hair. I basically looked like Ronald McDonald. Jane Krakowski beginninggoodmehair I spent the first summer after my diagnosis creeping about in giant sun hats and tents, cursing the sun, staying inside as much as possible. Now I am beginning to think the most important thing is educated sun exposure, because the melanomas of today are not caused by today's sunbathing, but by our childhoods and early adolescence. Jane Green i-ambeginningsuntoday When I was young and the empire was beginning to disintegrate, the idea was absolutely unbelievable, particularly to children who'd been taught that the sun never set... that's what all my books are about, the end of empire. Jane Gardam endbeginningsunchildren I try not to put pressure on filmmakers to come up with a big scare at the beginning. I think that helps let the audience settle in and get to know the people they're about to spend 90 minutes with. Once the scarier stuff happens, it's scarier because of that. Jason Blum beginningthinkpressurepeople Every single director stops at the moment he thinks he has the shot. Sometimes, directors shoot an establishing shot where everything is in the shot. He's going to use this at the beginning and the end. Javier Camara endbeginningmomentsometimes I think the day you start building the war plan is the day you start beginning the postwar plan. Jay Garner beginningdayyouwar From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it. Jean M. Auel beenstorybeginningresearch I think life is precious from beginning to end. Jeb Bush endbeginningthinklife We'd been noticing how much more important the internet had become - once information is out there in the world now, anyone can get it. Since that was beginning to happen with the record anyway, we figured, OK, let's just stream it for free ourselves. Jeff Tweedy beginninginternetimportantworld«23456789101112»
