There is nothing good or bad, except by comparison" (209) - "Effort is Everything" by Bud Selig

I had the kid [on "Fences" ] who understudied me so I could stand back and think about shots so he had to learn the blocking and everything. I'd come in early sometimes, and they 'd be in there rehearsing and working on their stuff. I didn't want them to feel like, "Oh these are people who can't be touched." We're all working actors; we're all trying to get better.

I didn't realise that Ridley Scott has never won an Academy Award.
