Quote
The verbal text of a play, especially one by a genius, is the manifestation of the clarity, the subtlety, the concrete power to express invisible thoughts and feelings of the author himself. Inside each and every word there is an emotion, a thought, that produced the word and justifies its being there.

Quote
Compassion, in its essence, is neutral. It’s holistic that way, and powerful because it yields a much wider perspective free of judgment or stress of any kind. We use it all the time in our work the way we’re always studying humanity intensely — always walking in someone else’s shoes, feeling the seams in their socks, wounds and elations in their souls.

Quote
Generally, a film reflects life but it looks unreal when the actors do not look at the camera while speaking, thinking or doing anything. In real life, we see in every direction but the performers do not do so in the movies. Indeed, the actors should not look at the camera repeatedly but they can do so in a natural way. So, though there are certain exceptions where the actors talk or think by facing the camera directly, the films cannot be called a perfect reflection of life.
