people society
I don't understand and don't enjoy sci-fi, and it's just that if people aren't real, and they don't live in a real and recognizable society, I don't understand what to do.
audience entire experience inch life movies people test uniform within
People test movies within an inch of their life so that the entire audience experience is a uniform one.
aim bound code entirely greater history means people quote somehow truth whereas
There are people who are bound journalistically to a code of ethics that means they can't quote something that isn't sourced, whereas what I do is entirely unsourced. I effectively fictionalise history and yet somehow aim at a greater truth.
area busiest good people
It's not the busiest area in the whole of town, but we always have a lot of people in here so do a good trade.
people tests uniforms
People test movies within an inch of their life, so that the entire audience experience is a uniform one.
thinking giving people
We give each other a wide berth even if we have the flu, let alone... So, I think that's part of the stigma that people who have diseases suffer. It's almost infectious... if somebody is closer to death, they're almost a bad omen and I think that's terrible.
book play people
There are so many other people involved in the making of a play or a television series or whatever... even if you're a novelist there's so much in just the marketing of a book, or even the time... the zeitgeist, the moment at which it comes out. There's a lot you can't control.
mistake work-out people
You're working with other people and sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want, and sometimes you didn't realise what a mistake you've made until you see it projected.
capital expansion pace positive results
The results are positive for capital investment, but the pace of expansion is moderate.
few help saying solutions
At this point, there are well over 60,000 solutions saying they can help with SOX in some way. But few come prepackaged and few have everything that's needed.
director love primary work
The first and primary requirement for me in a director that I'd want to work with is: do they love writing, and do they love the collaboration process with writers?
either
You're either a person with a conscience, or you're not. I think I've got quite a fine conscience.
articulate
You can be far more challenging, articulate and intelligent writing for television than you can writing for the cinema.
Once I start writing about somebody, I become very protective of them.
