We need people with foresight who are willing to make films with smaller budgets and accept smaller profits.
The making of television has changed quite a bit. Now you have to do them n cheaper budgets.
The Internet is king. Newspapers are dead or dying. Magazines are shrinking every day. Ad budgets are being cut. The bottom line is now the only line in advertising.
There’s something troubling about a condition in which one country alone, which has roughly 5 percent of the world’s population, spends more than 50 percent of the world’s defense budgets. There’s something weird about it.
I believe very firmly that we can get to balanced budgets without raising taxes and without cutting transfers to the provinces or to individuals.

I’m not the guy to get big record company budgets. My budget is Britney Spears’ catering money.
I think to do a proper independent movie, in my experience, it takes 22 or 23 days to shoot. That was ‘Party Girl’ or ‘House of Yes.’ But now with the digital camera, the budgets have gotten smaller, and the days have gotten shorter.
Some couples go over their budgets very carefully every month. Others just go over them.
I’m a conservative, pro-life governor in a state where it is really tough to be both. A state like New Jersey, with lots of Democrats, but still we cut taxes, we balanced budgets. We fought the teacher’s union.
When we started, we were in a van and looking for change under the seats so we could buy food. We went from that to having a hit and getting to do things like make music videos with million-dollar budgets.
In my home state of Indiana, we prove every day that you can build a growing economy on balanced budgets, low taxes, even while making record investments in education and roads and health care.
When I grow older and less popular, there will come a time when I have to shoot films on low budgets.
We need more transparency and accountability in government so that people know how their money is being spent. That means putting budgets online, putting legislation online.
The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending.
Budgets reflect our priorities, who we are as a nation, what we’re going to put first, and emphasize and invest.
The budgets we work on in Congress are more than just fiscal documents; they are a reflection of our moral values as well. In choosing where to spend money, members of Congress choose what priorities they value.
But what’s interesting is now – and not only in horror, but across the board – the studios basically only make B pictures with A budgets. That’s the biggest difference.
I don’t want to get too involved in marketing budgets, online promotions and download set-ups because it would be a bit like Gertrude Stein mapping out a TV campaign. I want to sing. I want visibility. I am essentially Al Martino, not Seymour Stein.
Corruption is a cancer: a cancer that eats away at a citizen’s faith in democracy, diminishes the instinct for innovation and creativity; already-tight national budgets, crowding out important national investments. It wastes the talent of entire generations. It scares away investments and jobs.
I don’t choose to make low-budget films. But that is the reality of surviving in the Japanese film industry. However, the trade off is, since we’re working on small budgets, we have freedom. You can’t buy this freedom with money. With this freedom, I think there are an infinite number of possibilities.
Currently, the United States provides 22 percent of the U.N. annual budgets, over $900 million in fiscal year 2007, and some of that funding goes to the Human Rights Council.

American advertisers rely on ‘essentially illogical’ approaches to determine their advertising budgets.
I think we have lost track of a core Republican principle of limited government and balancing budgets and restraining federal spending. We have got to change the system.
When you do movies on low budgets, you don’t want to have a location that requires a very big light right outside the window when you’re 10 stories up. You have to find a location where you have a terrace outside, or you can light from a second floor, or you can light through the windows for daylight.
We were kind of arrogant when we started and became really humbled as we were doing architecture. It’s really hard to work with budgets and deadlines and all of these collaborators and all of these voices and special interests.

I don’t have a firm line on balanced budgets.
For the most part, studio movies have huge budgets. They don’t do anything under 30 to 40 million. When you have that much money at stake, you have so many people breathing down your neck.
I find shoestrings very hard work. I like big budgets.
Businesses should absolutely set aside funding in their budgets for security consultants. Unless there is an expert on staff, and there usually is not, it needs to be outsourced.
People ask how I can be a conservative and still want higher taxes. It makes my head spin, and I guess it shows how old I am. But I thought that conservatives were supposed to like balanced budgets. I thought it was the conservative position to not leave heavy indebtedness to our grandchildren.
It costs a lot of money to release a movie. What you’d call art-house movies – movies that don’t have big stars or big budgets – they’re very hard for distributors to get behind ’em and take chances.
I was not going to balance the budgets on the backs of communities.
I’m still a conservative, you know, someone who believes in limited government and balanced budgets and the Constitution.

What I think we should be doing is refocusing all the prevention budgets, all the money spent on teen gangs and young offenders, on conception to age two at a rate of 2% a year.
Budgets that don’t balance, public programs that aren’t funded, pension funds that are running out of money, schools that aren’t funded – How does that help anyone?
Slashing budgets for our K-12 schools, our higher education institutions and our neediest residents simply isn’t the answer.
I am a small-government conservative who clings tenaciously and old-fashionedly to the idea that one ought to have balanced budgets.
Budgets can make or break reputations and governments.
There’s a truth about public service that is often unspoken and rarely understood – that the role of our elected officials is about much more than balancing budgets and ensuring the delivery of essential services.
I’m a believer that emotions can move mountains, that spirit alone can trump budgets.
The budgets are much higher now, it costs more to make a movie and the kids that go to see them are into instant gratification. They want things bigger and bigger. I don’t make those kind of movies. I make movies about relationships.
Taxpayers need a businessman who knows how to create jobs, cut costs and balance budgets.
The obesity problem among children is very serious. When advertising budgets are big and business can corrupt the way we live so that it becomes the norm to snack all day – and if you are never hungry you are never going to feel like eating a healthy meal – that can’t be right.
When salaries skyrocket, budgets skyrocket, and then rigor mortis sets in: moviemakers turn out formulaic junk in an effort to hedge their bets.

I started my company with virtually no funds behind it – no big marketing budgets – and that worked in our favor with Millennials, who put us on the map. They can spot a paid endorsement a mile away and are completely turned off by it. Instead, they are heavily influenced by authentic experiences.
There are so many screenwriters with incredible stories to tell, so I hope there will be some kind of shift in the business where very few types of movies are now made by the studios. There needs to be different budgets for different audiences; not everything having to be a huge opening weekend.
As I said a moment ago, there is no higher priority in our budget, or certainly in the budgets of the past few years, than providing for what is needed for the protection and security of our country and support of our troops.
