thinking years giving
A 20-year-old is never going to give death a second thought, whereas someone in their late 50s is going to think about it... I don't know, 20 times a day.
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.
exercise thinking important
I wrote Hereafter quickly and without mapping it out too much or being too schematic. As an exercise, I think that was incredibly important.
thinking oil expectations
Firms are a bit concerned about things like oil prices and US growth but actually the change (in firms expectations) is quite small so I think broadly theyre looking for more of the same,
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?
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.
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.
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.
Once I start writing about somebody, I become very protective of them.
good offered
I'm not good at fantasy, no. I have been offered stuff, and I can't get my head around it.
incredibly mapping quickly
I wrote 'Hereafter' quickly and without mapping it out too much or being too schematic. As an exercise, I think that was incredibly important.
