challenges care way
The only way I can work is if I care and am passionate about a project, so the challenge is to find projects that I feel that way about.
unique men boys
I'm interested in making films of all sizes. During this time I've made a film called 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas', which is a modest-sized film. I was involved in 'I Am Legend' and 'Yes, Man', but 'Potter' is unique. There'll never be anything like 'Potter' again.
kids naughty thinking
I think it's great to see how they've grown up, not just as actors but as people. They're still very much the same kids that I met many years ago. They've grown up and they are funny and wicked and naughty and bright, and I think as actors their work is just getting better and better. They've blossomed.

admiral against agencies asked assumed attack budgets civil command comments confusion defense department distinct event forces foreign generals given great homeland less likely mission natural northern process protect provide reflection reluctance seeing separate stands stretched support terrorist threats
Northern Command's mission to protect the homeland against foreign threats is separate and distinct from its mission to provide support to civil agencies in the event of a terrorist attack of catastrophic proportions. So part of the confusion you're seeing is the natural shaking-out process as the Defense Department stands up a new command and adopts a new mission that most generals assumed with great reluctance in the first place, given that their forces and budgets were already stretched thin. In that sense, Admiral Keating's comments were probably less about someone gunning to take the lead, and more a reflection of how much support Northern Command will likely be asked to provide in the event of a real catastrophe.
maintain normalcy
It is its own universe. But we try to maintain a real normalcy about it.

He won't turn into a stuntman, but he's a responsible boy.
aside city game maybe north people pushed south
This is a very important intersection in the north part of the city and maybe we've been pushed aside because the people in the south have been the squeaky wheel. But maybe we have to play that game too.
deal interested ordinary people
I'm interested in people on the fringe, ordinary people who have to deal with extraordinary things.
almost effort equal start thinking treated
And now I'm thinking we almost have to start a lobbying effort just to be treated on an equal basis.
