Originally, I thought, 'Gollum's such a fantastic character, why are you doing him CG? Surely you need to be able to humanise him as much as possible - he's so full of pathos and real emotion.'
Andy Serkis
The Giants are usually described as rag tag, kind of a great garage sale team, and the Democrats are described as the Mommies to the Republican Daddies; and everyone hates the mommies, but wait, wait - I didn't intend to get into the pathos and thrill of being a Democratic Giants fan.
Anne Lamott
The crushing, pitiful, and frequently just plain risible pathos of an unsuccessful actor/performer's life is well charted.
Arabella Weir
There is pathos and drama in 'Half Girlfriend.'
Arjun Kapoor
'Parental Guidance' combines comedy and pathos in the best way.
Billy Crystal
I think you're born with a comedy gene, and you can't teach timing, and you can't teach satire, pathos.
Brad Garrett
So much of Judaism is about suffering, survival, and pathos.
Bryan Fogel
Successful prime-time television of any genre produces some kind of emotional reaction in the viewers. There are a lot of different emotions to tap into. The emotion of the reward of discovery, the feeling of righteous anger, the feelings of pathos and sadness, or sentimentality of being moved by something.
Chris Hayes
I am a big fan of the TV series 'Taxi' which combined comedy and pathos better than any other show I've seen.
Douglas Wood
I find life a mix of humor and pathos, and all my books reflect that to one degree or another.
Elizabeth Berg
Monsters are a departure from 'reality' in a way that allows for a range of fantastic possibilities. I mean this within the world of literature as well as in regards to art. When I sit down to draw, I'm energized by the possibility of creating a monster. That is where I find beauty and pathos.
Emil Ferris
I have found that words that are loaded with pathos and create a seductive euphoria are apt to promote nonsense.
Gunter Grass
I'm attracted to pathos, because life is mostly pathos. I've had a lot of it in my life.
Hector Elizondo
From the onset of the 'Live-Read' series, we wanted to hit all the major writers and Woody Allen is simply one of the greatest screenwriters of all time. He has ability to match pathos and comedy and drama and then turn it all on a dime. If you're going to make a series based on dialogue, you can't find much better than Woody Allen.
Jason Reitman
All Shondaland shows have a level of intelligence, a level of humor, a level of pathos and human connection.
Jason Winston George
When you see a bad romantic comedy, you see the script, the director, and the actors trying to create this warmth and this pathos and this feeling that you care about them. That cannot be manufactured - it's either there or it isn't.
Jeff Garlin
The connection between pathos and broad comedy is very tight. But you do far more work in a comedy scene than you do in a straight scene. It's much harder.
Jerry Lewis
'The Night Cafe' and 'The Starry Night' still emit such pathos, density, and intensity that they send shivers down the spine. Whether Van Gogh thought in color or felt with his intellect, the radical color, dynamic distortion, heart, soul, and part-by-part structure in these paintings make him a bridge to a new vision and the vision itself.
Jerry Saltz
I like to weed out the people who aren't going to enjoy me straight off the bat. If you look at all my specials, I do start more extreme and then, as I get into it, sort of at the three-quarter mark, I normally have a bit of pathos. Is pathos the right word?
Jim Jefferies
This is real human drama, we're not creating some amusement park ride for the summer. Even though the movie is really exciting to watch, it's got a real pathos behind it.
John C. Reilly
His father watched him across the gulf of years and pathos which always must divide a father from his son.
There is a certain comedy and pathos to trouble and accidents. Like when a driver has parked his car crookedly and then wonders why he has the bad luck of being hit.
Deep poignant pathos can be described better in dark humour.
I didn't expect to feel pathos for the villains in our show. I feel quite moved in several of our episodes; I never realized that a show like 'Motive,' which aims for a broad appeal, could have that sort of emotional impact.
I'm drawn towards people who have a little pathos and a little dark side, and I feel the same towards fictional characters.
The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.
I never met Barbara Cartland. But now that I'm working on her life, I wish I had. I think there was a lot of pathos in it and I'm intrigued by her.
Storytelling is about patience, about making sense of the moments of pathos and beauty that you find, and about carrying these moments back into your own life.
I like to play characters that get to do it all - to have a bit of comedy here and a bit of pathos here and a bit of suspense here, that's what's fun.
Pathos and poignancy are, to me, tactics and techniques; in my work as a writer, I fetch them from my toolbox and use them as required.
In the course of my life, I've made some happy songs but it's the more sort of like pathos-laden, emotional, melancholic music that either I make or that other people make that really resonates with me.
You can't learn pathos or profundity.
I can tell it all in song: pathos, gladness, love, joy, unhappiness.
I have this soft spot for have-nots. So, I was really inclined to portray their pain and pathos in 'Highway.'
I have found in black metal the lyrics are profoundly beautiful... a pathos and mythos at the same time.
The paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes, which are nothing else than grandiose thoughts in embryo.
Most of my films - if you look at the tone, apart from 'Shadows,' which is straight-up comedy - the tone is a mix between comedy and pathos, and I really love that.
The mere existence of 'Buffy' proves the declinists wrong about one thing: Hollywood commercialism can produce great art. Complex and evolving characters. Playful language. Joy and sorrow, pathos and elation. Episodes that dare to be different - to tell stories in silence or in song. Big themes and terrible choices.
