Scene

Famous quotes containing the word scene:

    “We [actors] are indeed a strange lot! There are times we doubt that we have any emotions we can honestly call our own. I have approached every dynamic scene change in my life the same way. When I married Charlie MacArthur, I sat down and wondered how I could play the best wife that ever was.... My love for him was the truest thing in my life; but it was still important that I love him with proper effect, that I act loving him with great style, that I achieve the ultimate in wifedom.”
    —Helen Hayes (1900–1993)

    “We are such docile creatures, normally, that it takes a virus to jolt us out of life’s routine. A couple of days in a fever bed are, in a sense, health-giving; the change in body temperature, the change in pulse rate, and the change of scene have a restorative effect on the system equal to the hell they raise.”
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    “This scene was supposed to be in a saloon, but the censor cut it out. It’ll play just as well.”
    —Otis Criblecoblis, U.S. screenwriter. W.C. Fields (W.C. Fields)
