Question: “Is there a big gap between the movie you make in your head and the movie that gets made?”
Answer by David Fincher, Film Director: “Everything seems really simple on paper until you take a camera out of the box. Then 90 people are offering up solutions to the problems those pages create. You’re trying to make something very clear in this maelstrom of activity with all this anxiety about how much money is being spent. I don’t think you can ever make it the way you have it in your head.”

Trumpeter and A&M Co-Founder Herb Alpert: “Jerry and I were in sync, not wanting to find the beat of the week. We wanted to find something that was unique, find artists that had something to say in a unique way. We weren’t thinking of how much money we could make on each artist. We were just thinking about, ‘How can we put out great records? How can we put out records that we would buy ourselves?’”

The pleasure of making things beautiful or useful involves your feelings as well as your thinking. When your original sketch evolves into a tangible, three-dimensional object, your heart is anxiously following the process of your work. And the love involved in making it is conveyed to those for whom you made it.

There is no creation without tradition; the ‘new’ is an inflection on a preceding form; novelty is always a variation on the past.

The A.V. Club: “There are a lot of little details in your comics that aren’t necessarily meant to be noticed the first or even second time through.”
Daniel Clowes: “I just try to make it for myself, try to give it some kind of unity throughout. That often involves tiny details. I’m never sure what’s going to be obvious or what nobody will ever notice. I put stuff in my comics that I thought was blatantly obvious, and nobody noticed. And things that I think are buried in the background, everybody gets it. So I try to be consistently aware of every part of the frame.”
