It's not like I want to start a career as a director, I just had a particular feeling and I didn't want to hand the vision over.
Once Doc got an idea in her head that she was going to do something, you didn't stop her. She had the ability or insight to look at something in the raw and in her mind, she could see the completed project. When she saw this building, she knew this was the one and she was right.
This is a smart approach to managing rail capacity at a time of substantial growth in Canada's trade volumes with Pacific Rim countries. It will enhance the fluidity and capacity of both railroads in Vancouver and deliver better service to our port and terminal partners, while ensuring healthy rail competition between CN and CPR is maintained at the Port of Vancouver.
I got in athletics, which gave me self-esteem and made me feel like I had a place in the world; that was the initial attraction with acting for me.
I don't have the luxury of the firsthand historical knowledge that you have. You'll probably find the same thing with the board.
One thing I learned about Mr. Pollock's art, which any art student knows I'm sure, but was indeed a revelation to me, is that Jackson fully believed and lived by 'don't use the accident, because I deny the accident.' One cannot even approximate Pollock's work unless every stroke, every pour, every slap, every fling, every shake, every splash, every splatter and every flick has a specific intention.
The principals here are all very experienced; the teachers are very experienced. They're looking out for our kids all the time, and they've got strong radar.
A lot of parents are extremely thankful we're trying to fill a void they'd had in the past. We've been looking for a long time to fill in the gap between regular ed and special ed students, which wound up being our biggest percentage of dropouts.
In the past 10 years, I've looked at life as this Pollock stuff. And now I'm almost in the post Pollock phase.
If I'm daring at all, I guess it would be emotionally. I try to keep things interesting for myself and to do things that challenge me.
I love this country very much, and I'm proud to live here, but I think our current administration is extreme. These are not merely conservative people, these are extreme right-wing people.
Pollock said several times that he couldn't separate himself from his art. Not knowing much about modern art when I began to read about him, I was much more his persona - his struggles as a human being - that was interesting to me.
I'm an actor who loves to direct film, if I find something that I'm compelled to do and want to spend three or four years doing. I really love the process, though. I might have to just say, "Yeah, I want to direct that," because I want to direct something, but that's just not the way my being is. It's got to be a necessity for me, otherwise I'll just keep acting.
I hope to direct a few more films before I leave the planet, so I hope I can find the material.
