The four fish we're...
but weirdly, we also have fish that are eating chickens. Because the byproducts of chickens -- feathers, blood, bone -- get ground up and fed to fish. So I often wonder, is there a fish that ate a chicken that ate a fish? It's sort of a reworking of the chicken and egg thing. Anyway --

The Sacrifice of Cassini...
at Saturn's north pole every bit as exotic as the fantasies our ancient ancestors had of these worlds? The geometrically regular hexagonal shape of this feature brings to mind the handiwork of intelligence, terraforming, reworking the surface

Quote examples
Alessandro Michele
Italian Designer
For me, reworking the past over and over again is a way not to trivialise the garments and not to obsess over hem lengths. What I am interested in, as a matter of fact, is telling a story and, if someone sees fragments of other stories in it, be my guest. I don't have to justify myself. What is urgent for me is what I want to say.

Anthony McCarten
New Zealander Novelist
When I was growing up in the '80s and working in the theater, David Mamet exploded with a whole new reworking of what dialogue should sound like. It was punchy and raw and repetitive, bursting with dynamic. I remember that switching on a lot of lights for me.

Edwin Catmull
American Scientist
Creativity has to start somewhere, and we are true believers in the power of bracing, candid feedback, and the iterative process - reworking, reworking, and reworking again until a flawed story finds its through line or a hollow character finds its soul.

Sally Mann
American Photographer
I have no animus toward digital, though I still pretty much take everything on a silver-based negative, either a wet plate or just regular silver 8x10. But I've started messing a little bit with scanning the negative and then reworking it just slightly.

Adam Schlesinger
American Musician
I think one of the pitfalls of doing your own music is that sometimes you can never be satisfied with it: you're afraid to say that it's done, and you keep reworking it or re-recording it or re-writing it.

John Landgraf
American Businessman
I believe really deeply in the pilot process because you learn things about tone and casting. Even some of our best shows have had substantial re-shoots and reworking before they've gone on the air.

American Actress
Of course I'm schooled in the old school method: taking what I think the director wants, then reworking it through my own brain and heart.

I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.

Jerry Goldsmith's 'Voyager' theme is a brilliant reworking of the original material.
