Nothing else is as fulfilling as playing a part in which you are able to have a significant say in the creative process all the way through. How many actors get to do that? It’s extremely rare. – Tom Hollander
But Eddie does not make all the decisions. Eddie can listen to reason; Eddie can be swayed or talked in or out of certain things. Eddie allows other people to lead in this band and to have certain roles that are very fundamental to the decision-making process. – Stone Gossard
To be sure, ASPM isn’t the gene responsible for building big brains – there’s no such single gene. But it’s critical to the process, and the primate line has almost certainly benefited from distinct changes in ASPM. – Sam Kean
Cover this confirmation process with prayer. When they make it harder for us to pray, we just pray harder. – Zell Miller
It’s exciting to do something like this because usually what happens in theater is that, after the first or second reading of a play, it falls apart completely and the rehearsal process is such that you begin to pick up the pieces and put it back together again. – Treat Williams
Eddie is a natural leader. Jeff and I have been very much in control of previous bands we’ve worked in. But the way Eddie grew into being the leader of this band was the most gradual, slow and respectful process that I’ve ever been involved in. – Stone Gossard
Use of a mentally ill person’s involuntary confession is antithetical to the notion of fundamental fairness embodied in the due process clause. – William J. Brennan, Jr.
Redistricting is a deeply political process, with incumbents actively seeking to minimize the risk to themselves (via bipartisan gerrymanders) or to gain additional seats for their party (via partisan gerrymanders). – Thomas E. Mann
If a girl is not covered from head to toe, it does not mean she is inviting you to ogle at her. If we are interpreting it that way, it is not the girl, but our upbringing that is to be blamed. It is the thought process that needs to be changed. – Sonakshi Sinha
I said the rosary, and I said the Our Father, as they call it in the Catholic Church. One of the things I learned in the conversion process was to say the rosary, and I had a set of rosary beads. So I said ‘Hail Mary, full of grace.’ – Wesley Clark
You must never aspire to ‘finish’ a house, you can merely hope to start it, and from then on it’s an evolutionary process. – Stephen Bayley
If we were truly in the studio making a record, it would have been more time consuming, and certainly I would have been more involved in the writing process. – Taylor Dayne
In orthodox film-making, you never shoot sequentially – but with improv, obviously every move you make has a knock-on effect; it is a cumulative process. I have improvised, on the non-scripted ‘Timecode.’ It can become entirely indulgent: actors smashing crockery and competing verbally. – Saffron Burrows
If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing. – W. Edwards Deming
Any comic is a tragic soul. Comedy is one of the things that allows one to survive. Particularly if one has been in the process of separating off the emotions, it’s one place you can process them. – Twyla Tharp
I’ve discovered as an author that the process of writing a novel becomes harder over time, not easier. I used to think the reverse must be true, that it would be like any task, and the more I practiced, the more adept I’d become. – Tawni O’Dell
China’s many nationalities need only to be transformed into the Chinese nation and to make it a highly civilized nation; then the nationalization process will be completed. – Sun Yat-sen
The system is that there is no system. That doesn’t mean we don’t have process. Apple is a very disciplined company, and we have great processes. But that’s not what it’s about. Process makes you more efficient. – Steve Jobs
I’m not so bothered by the audition process anymore; in fact, I use it. It’s a time for the actor to actually get to the know the director and the producers a little bit, too. – William Sadler
I don’t think a lot of actors talk about it, but there’s usually a process where you essentially purge yourself of the character that you played prior to the movie. – Vin Diesel
I didn’t realize that, in doing a documentary, there is this process of discovery. It’s not like a film or a play with a set script. It sort of reveals itself. – William Shatner
I think that all of us, as Americans, are due due process and have a right to a fair trial, and have a right to be considered innocent until proven guilty. I think that is the American way and it’s the foundation upon which this country was built. – Wesley Snipes
I found, through the process of doing ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower,’ that I really love directing movies and I love writing books and so this will become the centerpiece of my career for the next ten or twenty years. Doing these adaptations. – Stephen Chbosky
What I find shocking is that there’s this thought process that Hillary Clinton is going to be president of the United States, and to even think of Donald Trump is a joke. – Stephen Bannon
