became clear cut early joke notes people
What became clear very early is that people wanted the story, ... They didn't want a joke fest. All the notes were: You can cut the jokes.
course crack dance good months partner people plus spending work
If you find someone who's funny, of course you want to work with them again. It's like a good dance partner - you know their moves. Plus you're spending months on set, so why not be around people who crack you up?
people brave risk
I'm always begging people like James Brooks and Cameron Crowe to come to screenings, to see what they make of it, and they're always ridiculously helpful. They also keep me brave enough to commit to what I'm trying to do. They can be great cheerleaders for risk-taking.
interesting people trying
I'm just trying to be truthful and collaborate with people who have interesting things to say.
people watches fifty
When I was very young, I started to make friends with much, much older people. So when I was twenty, my friends were fifty, and I never really went through forty because I would watch them die and I would feel younger. So you make friends with older people and you will always feel young no matter what.
fighting people behaviour
People are disappearing from movies, and normal human behaviour is disappearing from movies... You are not always fighting a creature in life. That's part of life, it's a pretty big part of life, but it's not all of life.
passion people one-day
You hear people say: "One day, when I'm in a good position I can make my passion project." I've seen a lot of people get into that position and not make it.
people together close-friends
I love when people work together who know each other very well. Some of my favourite movies are people who are close friends or families.
people passionate debate
It's funny when people debate about music, because they get so passionate about what they enjoy.
people needs respect-me
I need to find people who I respect so I can respect them, and they'll like being respected so they'll respect me, and that's like a marriage.
jobs people entrepreneur
When people lose their jobs, they can either get another job or be entrepreneurs. In the music industry, a lot of people have attempted the latter by starting their own labels, but in the age of digital downloads, it's very difficult to succeed.
song times-are-changing people
Back in the old days, everyone was shocked if a band had a sponsor for their tour. Now, Bob Dylan can do a commercial for Victoria's Secret and people don't really blink; the Beatles' songs are in all sorts of commercials these days and it doesn't seem to offend anybody. The times are changing.
mad people jason
I had a very specific type of terrible network experience where I was told that people like Seth Rogen and Jason Segel weren't leads, so it truly drove me mad. So to be trusted is all I value.
simple people trying
You want the audience to get your movie, and you want the audience to like it. It's as simple as that. If they don't understand what you're trying to say, you've failed. Of course, you can't get 100 percent of the crowd to understand the movie, but you know when you've reached the people you want to reach.
