On so many levels, acting in film and TV is so much the sum of its parts, and somewhere in there, there's an alchemical thing that makes something happen or not - that makes something connect or not. Now, of course you want to make work that people see, but the enjoyment I get out of acting is playing characters.
I genuinely believe that if you want to get in the film business, get in the film business.
All film directors, even the ones using 3-D today, want you to look at what they chose.
Most of the film directors expect their actors to want to work fast.
I want to become a Hollywood film star. I genuinely would love to be in some movies.
I think you have to really, really want to be a film star.
Film is a mirror. I want to see more filmmakers. We all want to see ourselves.
President Clinton intentionally created a structure that was a little loose. And one that kept him a little in the center. He didn't want one person filtering all the information that went to him. He had always operated with a lot of information coming in and a lot of stuff going out.
I'm on 'Two and a Half Men,' and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it, and filling your head with filth.
We always said that directors work their whole lives to get final cut on a movie. We have that. So why would you want to run away from what every other director is sprinting toward their entire careers?
I can't be bothered to learn Final Draft. I'm not a technical person. Like, when I sing, I just want to sing the melody and write the lyrics.
It's 2010. I'm forty-three years old. I've just turned in the final draft of what will be my third novel when I decide I want a tattoo. Maybe it's a middle-age thing. Or maybe now that my kids are nearly grown and I have a career in place, I'm finally coming into my own.
I always want to do a big finale.
I'm just playing basketball. I just want to be a great player. That's it. That's all I'm thinking about. If the other stuff comes, it comes, but I'm just fortunate to play in the NBA Finals and just to play basketball, period.
I've never preached one sermon on money, on just finances. I want to stay away from it.
I want to act in films and use all my financial resources to fund independent music.
There are two perspectives on the oil sands. You have companies that want to make it the next Saudi Arabia. The other is that it's a transitional resource to a low-carbon economy, and to regard it as anything else is to drain the continent's financial resources.
I want to give producers more financial security.
Most governments want their citizens to be part of the financial system, to be productive citizens as a result of having access to be able to manage and move money in a seamless way. But the traditional financial services infrastructure is not designed to handle that because, predominantly, it's an expensive infrastructure.
I want to be financially secure by the time I have kids.
