Don Siegel (1912–1991)

Born: October 26, 1912 in Chicago, Illinois, USA
Died: April 20, 1991 (age 78) in Nipomo, California, USA

[on Clint Eastwood] Hardest thing in the world is to do nothing and he does it marvelously.

I’m not a violent man . . . There are many other things that happen in our lives other than crime and violence and I think, as long as we do them entertainingly, then what’s wrong with doing them?

[on editing] If you shake a movie, ten minutes will fall out.

Married to: Linda Banwell (1982 – 29 April 2014) (his death) (2 children)

[in his last-ever interview in August 2012] My greatest pleasure in life is a completely appointment-less day with nothing to do. It means I can read a book, listen to the radio and do exactly as I wish. If you are going to do a film properly you have to give yourself completely to it. You can’t slip in and slip out again. You give it the business. My diary now is free, completely free. That’s the way I like it. I only do what I want to do.

Dylan McDermott

Born: October 26, 1961 in Waterbury, Connecticut, USA

My theory about actors is we’re all walking milk cartons. Expirations dates everywhere.

I can’t really say that I ever believed in any of that business about fate and soul mates and the one really perfect person until I met my wife… As corny as it seems, it was really love at first sight. It was like, ‘Boom!’ There it is, you know it, and everything else fades away.

Seth MacFarlane

Born: October 26, 1973 in Kent, Connecticut, USA

The only way it [criticism] gets to me is that it demonstrates a deterioration of the power of restrained, critical, rational thought that was once more ubiquitous in our society. In the sixties and seventies there was such a high regard in this country for the achievements of human beings in science, in technology, in space exploration. And in some ways we’ve turned into this wimpy, astrology-loving, angel-loving, pseudo-scientific culture that no longer has that ability. We’ve gotten lazy in our willingness to use our brains.

When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.

I know a lot of people who say they want to leave Tulsa and go off to L.A. or New York City. But I can’t wait to come back to Tulsa. It’s a great place to be.

Christmas is a huge thing in my family. We usually start decorating the day after Thanksgiving. We spend Christmas Eve with one set of grandparents, and Christmas Day with the other grandparents and our family.

Cary Elwes

Born: October 26, 1962 in London, England, UK

(On making The Princess Bride (1987)) It was a wonderfully supportive set, and that’s a great atmosphere for being creative. An atmosphere of fun, is an atmosphere where the mind is more likely to come up with great stuff.

Recent Testimonials:

I thought that the feedback video was one of the best gifts this short film could bring me. Everything the audience said was so precise, every emotion… They captured the essence of the film! I never thought it could go so far. It really inspired me to keep on working.
– Director Laura Garcia (ALEX)

I loved hearing all the different interpretations from the different audience members. Everyone comes to a screening with different backgrounds and history, and that all informs the way in which they receive and perceive a film; it was fascinating to me…

What a great time I had chatting with the extremely talented Newton Brothers (Andrew Grush & Taylor Stewart). A composing team that has already “scored” an impressive resume. I talked with them while they were in the midst of promoting their composing work on the horror film “Ouija: Origin of Evil.”

On what they are looking for in a director: 

We welcome as much input as possible from the director. Getting to know what they want to relay what they want to give the audience. Whether that’s a two note score, or a very detailed score with many counter points. We want to work on the story with them and interject our talent onto the film.

The more that director gives us, the better it is for us.
