ideas trying want
If somebody asks me about the themes of something I'm working on, I never have any idea what the themes are. . . . Somebody tells me the themes later. I sort of try to avoid developing themes. I want to just keep it a little bit more abstract. But then, what ends up happening is, they say, 'Well, I see a lot here that you did before, and it's connected to this other movie you did,' and . . . that almost seems like something I don't quite choose. It chooses me.
people trying sometimes
Sometimes if the people are up for trying something that I'm interested in, it can be a great experience.
trying inanimate-objects alive
The animators bring their own spontaneity to it as well, because when they do a take of a shot it really is like just one continuous activity for them. They launch into it and do it, and they're not even quite sure how it's going to turn out when they're doing it. They're sort-of sculpting their way through a scene and trying to make this inanimate object alive.
adventure challenges trying
I don't really look for challenges as much as I like adventures. Other than that I'm just trying to find stories I want to tell.
longer
Sometimes when you're editing a movie, you have the thing that you don't expect - which is you make it longer and longer as you go along.
funds install
Now we will have the funds to install it.
great scene sure time waiting work
Every time you do a take on a movie, you're not sure if it's going to succeed. Even if you have a great cast, like we had, every scene you're kind of waiting for the release. 'Oh, yes; it happened. We got it!' There's always the possibility that it's just not going to work.
I'd never heard anything about this at all.
telling
And Hackman had really choked up when he was telling it. It was very moving.
becomes believe crush fantasy fifth giant swept
When you're 11 or 12 years old, you can get so swept up in a book that you start to believe that the fantasy is reality. I think when you have a giant crush when you're in fifth grade, it becomes your whole world. It's like being underwater; everything is different.
force half meaning next within work
Over half of our work force is over 45, meaning within the next 20 years, they'll be gone.
littles doe kind
I don't know what is in store for the movie business any better than anybody else does, but it does seem like my kind of movies are a little trickier than it used to be - or maybe a lot trickier.
children perfect people
My experience with casting children is that... the whole movie is going to rest on their shoulders, so you have to set aside time and wait for the perfect people to appear.
ideas together ingredients
When I see the first dailies on any movie, I usually feel that I had no idea how this combination of ingredients was going to mix together, what it was going to produce.
