"And it was great making movies in college because if you made the right movie you`d get this cigar box full of $5 and $1 bills, you`d have like 500 bucks after a weekend. And it was like oh my god, we`re rich! We`ve got to make another picture. But if the movie bombed, you spent a lot of money on the movie, on the ads at the State news, renting the theater, lugging these heavy speakers, the projector bulbs, (and) it was a washout, you realize this movie is not making money. I`m broke. I`ve got to make the movie that they want to see. So it was a great learning experience."
- Sam RaimiTo have that concentration to act well is like lugging things up staircases in your brain. I think that`s a thing people don`t understand. It is that exhausting. If you`re doing it well, if you`re concentrating the way you need to, if your will and your concentration and emotional and imagination and emotional life are all in tune, concentrated and working together in that role, that is just like lugging weights upstairs with your head..And I don`t think that should get any easier. -- On acting
- Philip Seymour HoffmanHe got interested, was on the ball and took part in every opportunity to go on a field trip. He`s been so very helpful to our group, involved in ongoing activities and monthly programs, setting up slides projectors or lugging around materials. He enjoys working behind the scenes, helping in any way he can.
