Craig Zobel famous quotes

Writing is a totally different brain than directing, at least for me. With writing, you're trying your best to foresee all the problems before they happen. It's more architectural in a weird way.

The biggest compliments I've gotten have been from people who've seen the film Compliance at festivals and have said, "You know, I fully connected with these people. The movie made me very uncomfortable because I totally can see how this or that situation happened." They're, for lack of a better term, picking up what I was putting down. For me, it's very empowering to feel like we made something interesting.

I want people to talk more. I mean, I watch Game of Thrones and there's all sorts of crazy nudity in it...and very little of which I can justify, except that it's in a titillating and somewhat exploitational manner, but I don't really feel like that's a subject that people are interested in because it's the same news story.

The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite.

If the first requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite, the second is to put in your apprenticeship as a feeder when you have enough money to pay the check but not enough to produce indifference of the total.

Brains first and then Hard Work.

You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.

What a splendid head, yet no brain.

It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without." ~ Poirot

I, personally, am trying to get more and more involved with the gay and lesbian movement, very much so.

Above all am I convinced of the need, irrevocable and inescapable, of every human heart, for God. No matter how we try to escape, to lose ourselves in restless seeking, we cannot separate ourselves from our divine source. There is no substitute for God.

I try to pick characters that I find interesting and complex and that I feel I can bring something of myself to.
