Audiences have grown to equate being startled with being scared, and will complain that a movie 'isn't scary enough' if it doesn't have enough jump scares... so that means that a lot of studios will insist on shoving jump scares into a movie, regardless of character or story structure, thinking it 'makes it scarier.'
Now I have normal-person fears - fears of failure, of not being smart enough or strong enough or kind enough.
I have based my life on being strong enough to do anything.
You need to be real enough to be believable, but you don't necessarily have to be real enough to be real. There is a distinction.
I was born in Saratoga, Texas, a little town there in the Big Thicket about 60 miles north of Beaumont. Needless to say, we were very, very poor, but we always managed to have enough to keep our bellies full.
I get a little belligerent when not enough protesters show up at my appearances.
When I stepped into the box, I felt the at-bat belonged to me. Everybody else was there for my convenience. The pitcher was there to throw me a ball to hit. The catcher was there to throw it back to him if he didn't give me what I wanted the first time. And the umpire was lucky that he was close enough to watch.
Good actors aren't enough. You need charisma. Can you imagine 'Casablanca' without Bogart and Bergman?
If I'm lucky enough to see the day when my sons are living independently, maybe with families of their own, I'll still be wondering how I can be a better mother and worrying about the things I overlooked back when they lived under my roof.
It's no longer good enough for us to tell kids who are different that it's gonna get better. We have to make it better now.
Can you make fancy patterns of water that actually have some computation power? I'm betting that fluids are complex enough to do this.
I did not believe that the public was sophisticated enough to understand that a newsman could wear several hats and that we had the ability to turn off - nearly, you can't say perfectly, but nearly - all of our prejudices and biases.
I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself.
If you can build a business up big enough, it's respectable.
Some scientists think it may be possible to capture a wormhole and enlarge it many trillions of times to make it big enough for a human or even a spaceship to enter.
The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was; and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands.
If there are men in this country big enough to own the government of the United States, they are going to own it.
If you have a big enough dictionary, just about everything is a word.
I've made lots of mistakes. Probably the worst one - I would say they tie. It's either when I didn't move fast enough on something, or I didn't take a big enough risk.
A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.
