change painful people
Change is always preceded by a little pain. Some people can change and they don't have to go through so many painful things. But I think that I'm of a personality that I'm a little stubborn, so it's tough for me.
amazing change influence people piece powerful work
It's amazing how powerful a piece of work can be and how it can influence people and change. It's pretty interesting.
european indigenous mexico mostly people using
It's set before the Conquest, so there are no European faces, and we are using mostly indigenous people and actors from Mexico City,
audience films focus people silent
The audience will have to focus on the visuals... But they had silent films before talkies arrived, and people went to see them.
using-people green habit
The really good thing about using people who are really green is that you don't have to erase a bunch of bad habits and then put good ones in. You can just start feeding them good habits.
pain thinking people
Change is always proceeded by a little pain. Some people can change and they don't have to go through so many painful things. But I think that I'm of a personality that I'm a little stubborn, so it's always tough for me.
fall doors people
Voting is a very scary arena to be in, but I do vote. I go in there and pull the lever. It's kind of like pulling the lever and watching the trap door fall out from beneath you. Why should we trust any of these people? None of them ever deliver on anything. It's always disappointing.
order people deities
There has to be some kind of order and some moral code. I don't know how people can function without a belief in a deity.
scary-stories people want
People like scary stories. There's a fascination with fear themes, and we want to face those things in a weird, subconscious way.
people profound levels
My hope is that this movie will affect people on a very profound level and reach them with a message of faith, hope, love and forgiveness.
interesting people saws
I'm not anti-Semitic. My Gospels are not anti-Semitic. I've shown it to many Jews and they're like, it's not anti-Semitic. It's interesting that the people who say it's anti-Semitic say that before they saw the film, and they said the same thing after they saw the film.
people problem
You can't live up to what people expect. Nobody can. But I guess that's my problem, not theirs.
other-worlds cnn people
The whole notion of politics is they always present you with this or this or this. Nobody is the same. I'll get a newspaper to read between the lines. Why do you have to adhere to prescribed formulas that they have and people argue over them and they're all in a box. And you watch Fox claw CNN, and CNN claw Fox. Sometimes I catch a piece of the news and it seems insanity to me. I quietly support candidates. I'm not out there banging a drum for candidates. But I have supported a candidate and it's a whole other world.
writing people focus
There are certain things that I will do viscerally to affect people emotionally, with speed changes and sound, and various other things. Sure there are links; the same kind of sensibilities went into it and I worked on writing that script as well so there was an emphasis on a minimalisation of dialogue as far as possible, to focus on the visual and to put it in another language, of course.
