Seeing something go from concept to execution is a thrill to me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The greatest thrill is that moment when a thousand people are sitting in the dark, looking at the same scene, and they are all apprehending something that has not been spoken. That's the thrill of it, the miracle - that's what holds us to movies forever. It's what we wish we could do in real life.
Watching something being constructed, whether you're passing a building site or whether you're watching an artist at work, is fascinating, and I think that's the enjoyment.
It seems like people have to get their thrills somehow.
Thrills are much more about anticipation than action. An unfired bullet is more dangerous than one that has already met its target.
When I'm painting the picture, I'm really painting a picture. I may have a flat-footed technique, or something like that, but still, to me, the thrill, or the meat of the thing, is the actual painting. I don't get any thrill out of laying it out.
Sometimes it's learning how the play wants to function rather than imposing something on it. For me, that's the thrill in directing.
I don't think there's any thrill in the world like doing work you're good at.
The greatest real thrill that life offers is to create, to construct, to develop something useful. Too often we fail to recognize and pay tribute to the creative spirit. It is that spirit that creates our jobs.
So I - the thought that I would physically be different was - it's not a thrill, I have to tell you. It's kind of - it brings you up short. But I was able to look at it right away.
The thrill, believe me, is as much in the battle as in the victory.
