More Studio Quotes

Jimmy Page is an excellent producer. Led Zeppelin I and II are classics. As a player he's very good in the studio, but I've never seen him play well live. He's sloppy.

I have always avoided photographing in the studio. A woman does not spend her life sitting or standing in front of a seamless white paper background.

I would love nothing more than me and my family getting green cards, going to L.A. for a year, sitting down with the big Hollywood studios and coming up with the most advanced and awesome Internet distribution platform for movies. It would make Hollywood more money than cinemas, DVDs, and everything else combined. — Kim Dotcom

B. Priestley

Perhaps the place to start looking for a credibility gap is not in the offices of the Government in Washington but in the studios of the networks in New York! — Spiro T. Agnew

Nothing in the world can be compared to the human face. It is a land one can never tire of exploring.

To see it animated from inside, and turning into poetry. — Carl Theodor Dreyer
