Filming is long - you get very tired, and your skin breaks out and you get lumps and bumps. It's easier if you're allowed to have bags under your eyes.
Filming this drama made me realise how noble the nursing profession really is -- from the selfless dedication to the care and love for patients. Let me take this opportunity to pay tribute to all the great nurses out there!
I'm actually filming all the time, and I don't have much time to do anything. I've always been that way.
That's filming. You pitch up, give your all, and see what the outcome is.
I don't really enjoy filming.
Anytime you're away from your home filming, it messes with your head.
When I was filming the Marilyn Monroe movie, I was listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen.
Movies are fun because it's usually anywhere from a month to six months that you're filming and you can really connect to some great people and have a lot of fun and go some cool places.
I always like [while filming] to have a sense of what led this person to this point.
I think the paparazzi are absolutely ridiculous. When we were filming, there was a lot of them. It's different being in L. A. , where there are so many celebrities. But, when it was in Vancouver, it was all about the film, so there was paparazzi following us. It's just part of the business.
The clubs usually enforce no filming of performances pretty well. I want to know that what I'm doing is in the here and now and it's mine. I absolutely want control over my performances. And it is actually scary to see someone filming you without permission. Like Big Brother is watching. All these cameras don't make up for a life that isn't well-lived! I agree that people don't live in the moment, they instead live to make a name for themselves as "people who are living exciting lives and at great events".
Filming is like a long air journey: there's so much hanging around and boredom that they keep giving you food.
Working with Woody Allen is like filming Howard Hughes's will. It's a very mysterious and strange event. You never get a peek at the whole will.
My family has had to become quite understanding about me not returning phone calls when I'm filming.
When you're actually filming, there are times when you get access to places you'd never get to see.
Apart from those other riders there is a whole production team [ of The Fourth Phase] behind the cameras too, hauling hundreds of kilos of fragile and awkward filming equipment up those same frozen landscapes. They're the real heroes.
I had no education in filmmaking. I started with a 8mm camera. I made 34 films, and little by little I gained more experience in filming.
I was asked to be in the last two 'Harry Potter' films and I couldn't do it because I was busy filming 'Grey's Anatomy.
Somewhere the glamour has gone because of the industrialization of this whole process. I wish it [filming] felt as magical and glamorous as people want it to be, but it feels like a routine people are going through.
When you're filming something, you have marks and spots you have to be in.
