“Joy and play are genuine ways to keep healthy, fight disease and prolong your life”
― Miranda Hart, I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest with You

“The theatrical/cinematic experience is really born the moment someone says, “Let’s go out.” What is implicit in this phrase is a dissatisfaction with one’s familiar surroundings and the corresponding need to open oneself up in an uncontrolled way to something “other.” And here we have the battle between motion pictures in the home and cinema, for I’ll venture that the true cinematic experience can’t be had in the home, no matter how technically advanced the equipment becomes.”
― Walter Murch, In the Blink of an Eye

“Consider the boundaries you need to conserve your energy and operate at your best.”
― Miranda Hart, I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest with You

“Most of us are searching-consciously or unconsciously- for a degree of internal balance and harmony between ourselves and the outside world, and if we happen to become aware-like Stravinsky- of a volcano within us, we will compensate by urging restraint. By that same token, someone who bore a glacier within them might urge passionate abandon. The danger is, as Bergman points out, that a glacial personality in need of passionate abandon may read Stravinsky and apply restraint instead.”
― Walter Murch, In the Blink of an Eye: A Perspective on Film Editing
