Person

Thomas Murphy

"In the first year at ABC we lost seventy million dollars, but by the next year we started to make money. By the time we sold it we were making about four hundred million dollars. It's a high-risk business. It's a tough business. Disney made a good deal."

Person

Roy E. Disney
"There are three important things about film: story, story and story. If you don't tell the story, boy, they've got someplace to go pretty quick."
Person

Roy Christopher

"I'd like to teach designers how to read a script, how to break it down, how to think. What they're really paying for is your mind. They want you to be able to take verbal stuff, written stuff, and translate it into verbal terms -- that's an art. Open your mind to that. Read a poem and paint it."

Person

Irma Kusely
"Lucy's hair was a golden apricot color, and she used a henna rinse to achieve it. She met a very wealthy sheik who had heard about her problem getting the right coloring. He said he would send her a lifetime supply of henna, which he did! We kept it in my garage, locked away in a safe."
Person

Mike Fenton

"The casting director's fondest desire would be to come up with 100% of the persona the writer has created. But if we can get to 80 or 85% I am very, very happy....Just because the writer puts it on paper, it doesn't mean that that person actually exists."

Person

Dorothy C. Fontana

"My style has changed over the years. I look back at my original scripts and say, 'oh my gosh, I wrote that?' Because I don't write like that now. It evolves, it changes, because as person you should be evolving and changing. That comes out in the writing."

Person

Del Reisman

"The script is clearly the most significant element of any film. Everything else is important but if the story doesn't' work, all of the charisma of the star, the talent of the director, the skills of everybody associated with, are for naught."

Person

Herbert F. Solow

" ... On jury duty, a woman shows up in her Star Trek uniform. The judge says, 'What is this?'  And she says, 'It symbolizes truth.' Every once in awhile, I look around and I say, 'What have I done?' Because people come up with the weirdest things. But again, [Star Trek] has helped a lot of people. There's a balance to it. Many of the astronauts ... are astronauts because of Star Trek. People have gone into science because of Star Trek. People have changed their lives and live a better life because of Star Trek." 

Person

George Clayton Johnson

"I want to be remembered as a person who early on in his life took control of his life and set goals. When people gave me a lined paper, I wrote the other way. When people expect some certain behavior from me, I will frustrate their expectations."

Person

Harlan Ellison

"My mantra is this: I am engaged in the noblest, most honorable profession that the human mind has ever conceived. I am a storyteller."
