ideas long going-away
There are always a bunch of ideas floating around and I do the best that I can to try to not do them. The ideas don't go away and, over time, are finally like, "Okay, it's been around so long, I have to get this thing out," and it somehow ends up coming to some version of fruition.
letting-go ideas deserve-more
It's not a bad way to live once you let go of the idea that you deserve more.
technology ideas giving
I love the idea of anthropomorphizing machines. I love the idea of taking technology and giving it a personality.
ideas decision pages
I guess the idea of not wanting to choose to direct a film, for which I've not read a script. It's a tough decision to make without seeing any pages. That's not to say that I don't have all the faith in the world in the spectacular writers.
thinking ideas giving
I do think that at a certain point, the reboot sequel mode has to give way to original ideas and back to a place where, you know, films are, you know, a medium and the cinema is a place you go to see something that is, you know, wholly new.
taken ideas lines
We're always pitching ideas and being told "no thank you." No offense taken, because I would so much rather be told the truth that they're not interested and be able to find the right show for that network down the line.
ideas episodes theory
The idea to put episodes out weekly in theory makes as much sense as putting them all out at once.
ideas waiting next
I sort of love the idea of, you know, watching something and then having to wait for the next episode.
ideas leave-me-alone trying
I try to push ideas away, and the ones that will not leave me alone are the ones that ultimately end up happening.
bit closed
'Star Trek' was always a little bit closed emotionally. I never connected to the characters.
insane particular surgical
You know, we've got to this place, where you go to a movie for one particular surgical fix. So, it's like, I want the pulse-pounding action, or the insane falling-off-my-seat comedy, or the devastating, heart-breaking drama.
good work
As a director/writer/producer, all you ever want is to work with actors who make you look better, who make the work you do seem as good as it can be and even better than it is.
time
You never want to have that ticking clock and know that you had all this time and didn't use it.
access express google heard results review search system time town york
We're living at a time where if you do a Google search for a 'show, review and network,' you'll get 'The New York Times' and Pete Billingsley from a town you've never heard of on the same results page. It's kind of democratizing the process so that everyone has access to a distribution system to express themselves.
