ashamed ought
I think they ought to be ashamed of themselves,
attention audiences believe demands detail image involved less level pay resolution seen smarter
I think the resolution involved in the high-def, Blu-ray image demands we pay attention to every detail to a level we've never seen before. The audiences have to believe everything they're seeing. As viewers, we're all so experienced and so much smarter than we realize. With Blu-ray, there will be less tricking of the eye.
becomes directors fly fresh hard russell stay street
I think it's easy for directors to stay fresh more than actors, especially once an actor becomes a star. It's hard for Russell Crowe to walk down a street or take a subway. I can fly coach.
audiences brighter exposure gives people required
I don't underestimate audiences' intelligence. Audiences are much brighter than media gives them credit for. When people went to a movie once a week in the 1930s and that was their only exposure to media, you were required to do a different grammar.
becomes block cameras definitely moves
I don't story board. I do something else, which is, I block it. We then train to the blocking. In other words, when everybody's training, they're actually training a lot of the moves that we are definitely going to use, and then, I do a lot of photography of that, and that becomes where the cameras go.
within
We're number-crunching to see what we can do within our mandate.
anybody seriously
We take safety very, very seriously on every film I make, and that's why I've never had a serious accident or anybody killed when I make a picture.
bring call good maybe opportunity seize
We bring our preparation to the table, and opportunity may present itself, and if you are well prepared, you can seize opportunity and then maybe something good happens, and you call that luck.
fortunate found love man men
When you say that I can go and make a movie, I feel like I'm one of the most fortunate men. I feel myself to be a fortunate man that I found something to do that I really love.
anyone bird birds europe except exports farms flu perfectly poultry turkey
We don't think anyone should be restricting exports of poultry because poultry is perfectly safe. There is no bird flu on poultry farms in Europe except on one turkey farm in France, where all the birds have been slaughtered.
access believe european latin meets restore tariff
We believe this new tariff meets all the requirements on the WTO and the Latin Americans, and will restore their access to the European market,
great physically places
Miami is one of these great places that is a really sensual, physically beautiful place.
domestic export good help less market meat raise remains sector
We can also raise export subsidies to help the sector to export produce. The more meat is exported, the less remains on the domestic market and that's good for prices.
becoming crucial direction farm moving reaching shows stage time trade wrong
Our farm subsidies are moving in the right direction and becoming much more trade friendly, while U.S. is moving in wrong direction, with more trade-distorting aid. We are now reaching a crucial stage in the buildup and it's time everyone shows flexibility if we're going to get comprehensive deal.
