I wrote a screenplay for a 'Sweet Valley High' adaptation, and it's really amazing to me how many women who are my age have responded to the idea and are excited about the movie.
Diablo Cody

I've made seventeen or eighteen films now, only two of which have been original screenplays, all the others have been based on short stories or novels, and I find the long short story ideal for adaptation.
Satyajit Ray
Image
The differences you perceive between Humans-between groups of Humans-are the result of isolation and inbreeding, mutation, and adaptation to different Earth environments
Octavia Butler
Image
If a program of physical activity isn't designed to get you stronger or faster or better conditioned by producing a specific stress to which a specific desirable adaptation can occur, you don't get to call it training. It's just exercise.
Mark Rippetoe

I actually got a nice surprise about being a mother because I expected it to be harder and to have to make more adaptations.
Paula Radcliffe

During periods of discontinuous, abrupt change, the essence of adaptation involves a keen sensitivity to what should be abandoned - not what should be changed or introduced. A willingness to depart from the familiar has distinct survival value.
Peter Drucker
Image
All failure is failure to adapt, all success is successful adaptation.
Max McKeown

I increasingly fear that nothing good can come of almost any adaptation, and obviously that's sweeping. There are a couple of adaptations that are perhaps as good or better than the original work. But the vast majority of them are pointless.
Alan Moore

The movie adaptations of stage musicals that I've seen, without exception, in my opinion don't work. A lot of people would disagree with me.

Image
Social adaptation has to proceed via the intellect.
Hans Asperger

Every mutation through a new combination of genetic factors that provides the organism with a new opportunity for coming to terms with the conditions of its environment signifies no more and no less than that new information about this environment has got into that organic system. Adaptation is essentially a cognitive process.
Konrad Lorenz
Image
Both of these branches of evolutionary science, are, in my opinion, in the closest causal connection this arises from the reciprocal action of the laws of heredity and adaptation.
Ernst Haeckel

Any adaptation is a translation, and there is such a thing as an unreadably faithful translation and I believe a degree of reinterpretatio n for the new language may be not only inevitable but desirable.
David Mitchell

Life: a constellation of vital phenomena—organization, irritability, movement, growth, reproduction, adaptation.
Anthony Marra
Image
It is not necessarily those lands which are the most fertile or most favored in climate that seem to me the happiest, but those in which a long struggle of adaptation between man and his environment has brought out the best qualities of both.
T. S. Eliot
Image
The ecstatic state of wholeness is bound to be transient because it has no part in the total pattern of ‘adaptation through maladaptation’ which is characteristic of our species…the hunger of imagination, the desire and pursuit of the whole, take origin from the realization that something is missing, from awareness of incompleteness.
Anthony Storr

Interestingly, I never thought Id do an adaptation. Ive also been quite against them. I think trying to translate one medium to another is wrong. I never really felt that books fitted into film. Generally people are disappointed, arent they?
Andrea Arnold

The curse of comic book adaptations, when I was younger, was that the director or producer would go, Don't worry about it, it's just a comic book.
