‘The Story Of A Marriage’ was initially a short story I wrote, and before that, it was a family story. It was a story that a relative of mine told me about herself in the ’50s, and it was a story that no one else in my family believes, and it might not be true.
We initially targeted pager networks, which have been suffering for the last decade due to cell phone sales.
Initially what defined me as a ‘man repeller’ was my conscious effort to wear clothing that was attractive in my opinion but not necessarily in a man’s opinion.
False stories used to affect me initially. But now, I’ve come to understand that if false stories are created, they are also forgotten in the long run.
I think we make the movies, initially, with the one movie in mind. But we do love the characters, and so we kind of miss the characters when the movie is over. But I think what happens is, every now and then you realize there’s more to tell, or an idea comes up.
I got hooked on immersive cinema when I worked on ‘2001,’ which was initially shown on these Cinerama screens, which were all 90 feet wide and deeply curved.
Gandhi, brought out of his semirural setting and given a Western-style education, initially attempted to become more English than the English.
You have no idea how many doors closed on me and how many adults were either initially reluctant to take a chance working with me or who outright laughed at me behind my back.
Initially I used to find it very awkward when people used to turn back and stare, but now I am used to it and love all the attention.
I initially thought ‘Lewis’ was a terrible idea. The character had very much been Morse’s work donkey and sounding board. But I was persuaded to do it, thinking if it was a flop, at least ITV would stop asking me. But the pilot took off, so we got back on this moving train, and we’ve never looked back.
The age of 18 seemed the right time to try something different in my life. Moving to the U.K. was a risk, and I was never confident that I could ever make a full-time living being a musician, but I had to try. Initially, I worked as a jazz musician in pubs or with bands.
Initially, I resisted going into acting. You want to have your own identity, and I thought about doing other things, but that didn’t last very long.
Initially I took the job because I thought it would be really easy. I was like, I’ll take the paycheck because I want to do my own movie. That didn’t work out. In the first two weeks I fell in love with Kratos from an animation perspective; I’d never been able to do anything like this.
