“There are some scenes that work beautifully in a moving, sweeping mast...” — Debbie Allen Quote

“There are some scenes that work beautifully in a moving, sweeping master, which is how I like to work.”

“That's the only way I can control my movie. If you shoot everything, then everything is liable to end up in the movie. If you have a vision, you don't have to cover every scene.”

“Making this movie was a great opportunity for me to explore high-definition. I'm glad I got to see what the challenges are, what makes it better. It works wonderfully.”

“I think that the instinct that people have when they see a beautifully produced web series is that they think it must have been made for television and they just chopped it up and put it online.”

“I hope readers will think that 'The Thing About Life' is beautifully patterned, a tapestry.”

“I write fast, I write beautifully, I write convincingly.”
