Studio heads seem to be getting the message that there is not only an audience out there, but there is a desire for people to see people of colour in central roles and in authoritative roles. David Harewood audienceauthoritativecentral Change image and share on social
Studio people are bright. Empowering. They don't want to have to interfere creatively. That's their horror story, too. Paul Greengrass brightcreativelyempower Change image and share on social
Studio people are idiots. Until they see someone else doing it and make a success of it, they don't open their minds. Most of them are idiots. Rob Schneider idiotmakemind Change image and share on social
Studios are an assembly line. They can be a very good assembly line. As a producer, you concentrate on one project at a time. As an executive, you're in charge of a slate. Michael De Luca assemblychargeconcentrate Change image and share on social
Studios are designed to pull out all of that beautiful ambience you get from singing in a room, and then the engineer puts it back in digitally or through whatever machinery you've got. Patty Griffin ambiencebackbeautiful Change image and share on social

Studios are passe for me. I'd rather play in a garage, in a truck, or a rehearsal hall, a club, or a basement. Neil Young basementclubgarage Change image and share on social
Studios are so used to digital now, and there is a mythology that it's cheaper. But it's really not cheaper. For instance, digital is great for night exteriors; everybody knows it's a video tap, so it's very responsive to light. So you can go out at night, shoot with digital, and it's gorgeous, beautiful to look at. Don Scardino beautifulcheapdigital share on social
Studios, because they are investing a great deal of money in movies, they want a guarantee that when they hire somebody that person can deliver for them. Everything is fear based, so they pigeonhole people. But I've written everything, from Westerns to sci-fi to dramedy, I've done it all. Melissa Rosenberg basedealdeliver share on social
Studios have been trying to get rid of the actor for a long time and now they can do it. They got animation. NO more actor, although for now they still have to borrow a voice or two. Anyway, I find it abhorrent. James Coburn abhorrentactoranimation share on social
