good hate hated reality realized
Cloquet hated reality but realized it was still the only place to get a good steak.
action finally kidnapped parents realize rent snap
And my parents finally realize that I'm kidnapped and they snap into action immediately: They rent out my room.
home reality typewriters
When you make the film, there's a big difference between when you're in your own home at the typewriter, and when you're standing on a mountain, or on a street corner, and buses are coming by-it's a different reality. You make a million changes that were never in the script, but that reality dictates.
art real nice
That’s one of the nice things about writing, or any art; if the thing’s real, it just lives.
reality cynicism spelling
Cynicism is reality with an alternate spelling.
stars reality larger-than-life
I always feel, I guess being a product of the movies of the 40s where movies were the greatest things and screens were big and palaces were palaces and stars were larger than life that reality was so much inferior to what we felt was conceivably possible from what we had seen in the movies.
reality imagination mind
I have a hyper-active imagination, my mind tends to jump around a little, and I have some trouble between fantasy and reality.
real differences fortune-cookie
To me there's no real difference between a fortune teller or a fortune cookie and any of the organized religions. They're all equally valid or invalid, really. And equally helpful.
real kids want
Everything in life turns out to be a distraction from the real thing you want to do. There are a million distractions and when I was a kid I was very disciplined. I knew that the other kids weren't. I was the one able to do the thing, not because I had more talent, maybe less, but because they simply weren't applying themselves.
real believe people
In real life, Keaton believes in God. But she also believes that the radio works because there are tiny people inside it.
real seductive feelings
Real life is generally much duller and inevitably sadder, most of the time. In film, you control everything that's going on, so you can indulge the most fantastic, romantic, escapist feelings and fantasies. You can do anything you want. That's why it's very seductive and pleasurable to earn your living making movies because you're not living in the real world.
reality thinking dentist
You always think another time would have been ideal for you . . . the reality is there was no novocaine when you went to the dentist.
sex real love-is
Real software engineers don't debug programs, they verify correctness. This process doesn't necessarily involve execution of anything on a computer, except perhaps a Correctness Verification Aid package. Sex without love is an empty experience, but, as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.
reality years magic
I prefer the magic to reality, and have since I was 5 years old. Hopefully, I can continue to make films and constantly escape into them.
