“Someone to hold onto
And keep me from all fear
Someone to be my guiding light
And keep me ever dear
To keep me from my selfishness
To keep me from my sorrow
To lead me on to givingness
So I can see a new tomorrow.”

Van Morrison (1945) Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician

Song lyrics, His Band and the Street Choir (1970)

“My favorite scene is the one I’m shooting at the moment. When people ask me which of my movies is my favorite, I always say, “the next one.””

Kieth Merrill (1940) American filmmaker

Perhaps the same is true of every scene. The next one is perfect. It is finished in my mind without a flaw. Untainted by the reality of time running out, actors forgetting their lines, light dropping fast, wagon stuck in the mud or mismatched piece of clothing that must be found and brought to set.

“The Tick comes to mind. … that was just my favorite thing ever, and it was so smart and clever, and I loved it.”

Patrick Warburton (1964) American actor

"A chat with Patrick Warburton" at Bullz-Eye.com (23 Februarty 2009) http://www.bullz-eye.com/television/interviews/2009/patrick_warburton.htm
Context: The Tick comes to mind. … that was just my favorite thing ever, and it was so smart and clever, and I loved it. I felt honored to get to step into the shoes of the Tick, and it just didn’t get love…not from the network, you know. The network killed it. It’s had a pretty fantastic after life on DVD, but it could have been a great series if they decided they wanted to spend any money at all back at the time. It became all about reality TV for them. They discovered they could spend very little money and get huge numbers.
