Casting Quotes

“You are perfectly cast in your life. I can't imagine anyone but you in the role. Go play.”
― Lin-Manuel Miranda

“Happiness is not an unexpected jackpot nor a monolithic cluster but a forbearing casting and a daily discovery process. ("Why has shé got stars in the sky?")”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Authenticity in casting is when you cast someone into a role that is authentic to that role's race and ethnicity. When you are casting a role for an American Indian, cast an American Indian actor. When casting a role for a Chinese, cast a Chinese heritage or Chinese actor, not another Asian ethnicity. That is true authenticity in casting, and does not perpetuate the stereotype that 'All Asians look alike' which is very offensive and not true.”
― Kailin Gow, Bitter Frost

“When life gives you lemons...add melted butter , toasted paprika and dip some lobster in it!”
― Stuart J. Scesney

“COUNT ON ONLY 1 PERSON ..THE PERSON WHO YOU KNOW 100% WILL BE THERE WITH YOU WHEN YOU DRAW YOUR LAST BREATH OF LIFE...THAT PERSON YOU MUST COUNT ON IS YOU!”
― Stuart J. Scesney

“I think it was Alfred Hitchcock who said that 90% of successful movie making is in the casting. The same is true in life. Who you are exposed to, who you choose to surround yourself with is a unique variable in all of our experience, and it is hugely important in making us who we are.”
― Rob Lowe, Love Life

“When life gives you lemons...add melted butter , toasted paprik and dip some lobster in it!”

“Authentic diverse storytelling in films, books, television is when a story is cast with the intended ethnicity of the characters and is written by the intended ethnicity. When you cast Black or Asian actors into a role written for another, and the book is written by another, then that isn't authentic. That's re-imagining. Vice versa. Authentic storytelling is when you cast Korean American actors in a film written by Korean Americans or Chinese Americans in a film/book written by Chinese Americans so the entire story from concept to release is authentic. Not when you take a book written by a Caucasian, directed by a Caucasian but cast by African American or Asian American actors into originally-written Caucasian character roles just because that is trending. THAT is not authentic but white-washing.”
― Kailin Gow

“When life gives you lemons...add melted butter , toasted paprike and dip some lobster in it!”
― Stuart J. Scesney

“The first thing that a person of vision must recognize is that a vision cast solely from the limited confines of their own tiny existence is not a vision. And if we cannot grasp this essential reality, we will be busy casting a lot of things, but none of them will be a vision.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Don’t worry. Cast your anxieties upon the Lord!”
― Lailah Gifty Akita, Pearls of Wisdom: Great mind

“With a fly rod, anglers are not casting to a fish; rather to a circle of dreams: ripples that spread into every aspect of their lives.”
― Fennel Hudson, Fly Fishing: Fennel's Journal No. 5
