Quote examples
Willem Dafoe
American Actor
I'm not attracted to naturalism, I'm not attracted to behavior, I'm attracted to dance. I'm attracted to gesture, I'm attracted to singing with your voice, as opposed to having a natural manner. I'm a theater actor first, so that probably influences a lot of my approach. And I think in many ways, naturalism has ruined movies.
Quote examples
Edgar Wright
English Director
Maybe directors who are more interested in realism and naturalism come from cities, where they see things on their doorstep every day. But growing up as a kid in a very pretty but ever-so-slightly boring town, where not a great deal happened, encouraged me to be more escapist, more imaginative, and more of a daydreamer.
Quote examples
Jon Favreau
American Actor
I like a naturalism to my dialogue and my comedy. I would rather have a few jokes sail by that might be more subtle than have every single joke hit hard. I would rather the comedy come out of character as opposed to feeling forced. Even if you're giving some laughs up for it.
Quote examples
Phillip E. Johnson
American Educator
If modernist naturalism were true, there would be no objective truth outside of science. In that case right and wrong would be a matter of cultural preference, or political power, and the power already available to modernists ideologies would be overwhelming.
Quote examples
Nancy Pearcey
American Author
Visit a typical science classroom and you will discover far more than empirical facts being taught. The dominant worldview among scientific intellectuals is evolutionary naturalism, which holds that humans are essentially biochemical machines.
Quote examples
Ralph Ineson
English Actor
Everyone says comedy is really hard, but with 'The Office' the naturalism was everything so it didn't feel like doing comedy; it just felt like doing a really offensive character who thought he was funny.
Quote examples
Ben Foster
American Actor
We've all been influenced by American naturalism, and to ignore that entirely would be impossible for me as someone who works primarily in film.
Quote examples
Ben Okri
Nigerian Poet
We have fallen into this very mean description of humanity. Naturalism in fiction is too reductive in its definition of human beings.

American Musician
Naturalism teaches one of the most important things in this world. There is only this life, so live wonderfully and meaningfully.
