The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.
Growing up the son of a director has made me very aware of the various turns that a directing career can take. Sometimes your films turn out exactly as you want. Sometimes they don't. I spent a lot of my childhood on sets. I think as a joke, my father gave me a line of dialogue in each of his films during the worst moments of my puberty.
I think the most surprising thing about the Olympics would be the amount of interaction and partying that goes on behind the scenes. They have nightclubs at the Olympic Village. It's like college all over again.
I am so excited to extend myself behind the scenes as a designer and to - as my father puts it - finally have a real job.
People that complete other people's vision are understated.
I think the perception of me can be, you know, confused. But that's only because people only see that side of me when I'm at work, in front of the camera. So they don't see Miranda at home; they don't see behind the scenes. They see the glamour of it all but they don't see Miranda standing barefoot in a dirty old house.
As president, I'm not supposed to play games or show my hand, because there's a lot going on behind the scenes that you don't see or hear and don't need to know.
No White House staff person wants to conflict with the First Lady who goes home and has the ear of the President all night.
When I became a choreographer, I was not assisting any choreographer. I was assisting the director Mansoor Ali Khan for 'Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.' I was the fourth assistant director.
I never think about Wall Street - why should I - but to go down there so often while filming 'Working Girl,' to become acquainted with this whole different world, and to find out what goes on behind the scenes, is so interesting. There's so much of the city that you don't really bother to investigate. Ahh... New York.
When I'm on the set at 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,' of course the content isn't funny, but the other actors are hilarious.
It's a lot of work that goes into producing and directing and all those kinds of things. It doesn't just happen. It's a lotta work. It's a lot more work than acting.
Making an impact behind the scenes with 'Be-A-Star' and 'Make-A-Wish,' how cool is it to do those things?
I always wanted to be an anchorman, but after college I wound up working behind the scenes at CBS News for 10 years.
I got caught up in doing records for other artists. I just stayed behind the scenes, and time just kinda passed.
On 'Game of Thrones', the people that I've met, of the people behind the scenes, was not even a scratch of the vast crew that actually does work on that show.
I think one day I want to be on the other side of the camera-maybe directing.
I remember when we were doing the love scene in Some Kind Of Hero, we got in bed nervously. Then he looked up, and it was very genuine, and he went, " Richard Pryor's in bed with Lois Lane!" And it was so cute!
I've met architects before, and they're not living the life we see on TV.
The guy that just arranges things so that the stock market holds up is nobody in my - in my estimation.
There's something about seeing a movie that you like, and being able to see the scenes that didn't make it, just as a window into the process of how choices are made and how a movie is made. To me, the idea of getting to have the scenes on the DVD is very exciting.
The experience of making a movie is far removed from watching the end result. It's exciting, but it still makes me squirm.
No man ever exercised less influence in the Senate or the House of Representatives than he, but no man ever exercised more power as a political leader.

Stepping back into theatre, a childhood dream, I always felt like I would be onstage. I hadn't imagined myself in a composer role... I find it so satisfying to be behind the scenes and writing the music and watching it elevated and characterized by different voices than my own. It's so exciting.
I enjoy production more than acting, as one is involved in many aspects of film-making.
