Quote examples
Jane Smiley
American Writer
Ape House' is an ambitious novel in several ways, for which it is to be admired, and it is certainly an easy read, but because Gruen is not quite prepared for the philosophical implications of her subject, it is not as deeply involving emotionally or as interesting thematically as it could be.

Quote examples
Miguel Sapochnik
English Director
I try to approach all episodic work the same. No matter the content. I look for a dramatic or emotional spine to the story I'm telling, something that stands out to me thematically about the episode and its relationship to the rest of the season/series.

Quote examples
Noah Hawley
American Producer
Having written for film and television, I had little interest in turning 'The Good Father' into a Hollywood thriller. I was writing a novel, and novels demand that the writer goes deeper, both emotionally and thematically.

Quote examples

Lyrically and thematically, the title 'Doctor Faith', that song is about therapy, psychotherapy, and that song is about emotions and personal insight. I think all the songs on the record sort of go along with that.

Quote examples
Samuel Ervin Beam
American Musician
I don't sit and write records from start to finish. I write all the time, and when it's time to record you just look and see what songs you've got that could work together as a group thematically.

Richard Thomas
American Actor

G. Willow Wilson
American Writer
Thematically, in a lot of what I write, there's a sense of displacement, of being rooted in multiple places, and how that can tug at your identities and your wants and your goals.

Quote examples
Edmund Husserl
German Philosopher
What is thematically posited is only what is given, by pure reflection, with all its immanent essential moments absolutely as it is given to pure reflection.

Quote examples
Powers Boothe
American Actor
One thing that's thematically consistent in 'Sin City' is that all the performances seem to be of the same genre, like we're singing the same song.

Orlando Bloom
English Actor
Shakespeare is a wonderful language to speak, but it's also a world to get your mind into thematically.
