More quotes by Adam Rapp
The rooms I tend to be in are pretty democratic and the best idea wins.
Adam Rapp
I suffer from and enjoy an incredibly vivid dream life. A lot of times there is a sort-of narrative and other times they are just funhouses of non-linear imagery and other scary stuff.
Adam Rapp
I began stealing a lot of ideas from other directors I had worked with.
Adam Rapp
When I am directing, it is much, much, much, much, much different. I'm a much more practical person in the world, I show up on time, I am very rigorous about scheduling, and I am very focused. But when I'm writing I am just a big, irresponsible mess and I'm just impossible to get in touch with, and I don't spend time with friends.
Adam Rapp
I imagine a soul is a little perfect crystal egg floating in your chest. Somewhere deeper than where they put your heart. Somewhere so deep inside that the doctors can't find it with all their machines and microcameras.
Adam Rapp
I just love working with actors, and I love working with writers, working with designers.
Adam Rapp
Whenever I've been in rehearsals, it's really fun, there's always laughing.
Adam Rapp
It's strange, people have asked me what my schedule is and what is my process like, and I can't even answer it.
Adam Rapp
When I kicked in the first TV a nineteen-inch Magnavox with wicker speaker panels it felt like the most perfect thing I had done in a long time. And there's nothing like the feeling of perfection that will inspire repeated behavior.
Adam Rapp
I've been living in Portland for five months and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I probably won't really know for years because that's how it works right? You don't really develop feelings about a place till you've left it. It's like a girl or a dog.
Adam Rapp
I find auditioning to be a very illusive process, where actors come in with this really big result with no process, so it's a lie already at work.
Adam Rapp
We only have so much time.... Time will kill you it really will.
Adam Rapp
I don't like the sort of hierarchical, totalitarian type of room a lot of directors can find themselves in.
Adam Rapp
You can't run forever. There's only so much pavement that the road makers lay down. After a while, the highway quits going north and it just turns into sky. And you can't go anywhere in the sky unless you have a plane or some kind of rocket.
Adam Rapp
My life has been in shambles, like my personal relationships, my laundry, paying bills now I have someone who pays my bills and it's always been a challenge because it overwhelms me.
Adam Rapp
A typical day for me is I'm writing when I'm not directing.
Adam Rapp
What I've learned in the last few years is that I am merely a storyteller.
Adam Rapp
There must be some unwritten law that says about fifty people have to move into your house when somebody dies. If it weren't for the smell of death clinging to the walls, you might think it was your family's turn to host the month neighborhood potluck supper.
Adam Rapp
My work is always more emotional than I am. My characters say things to each other that I get accused of not being able to say to my girlfriend.
Adam Rapp
When I'm directing, I'm pretty much not writing, but when I'm not directing I am writing a lot.
