America is a friend to the people of Iraq. Our demands are directed only at the regime that enslaves them and threatens us. When these demands are met, the first and greatest benefit will come to Iraqi men, women and children.
I was in a play directed by my father, and I was doing a fight scene, and the choreography went haywire, and I flew backward over a chair and ripped my thumb all the way to my wrist and had to have surgery to sew up all the tendons in there.
There’s an excellent movie we have on TCM called ‘It Happened on Fifth Avenue,’ which was originally going to be directed by Frank Capra… but just before he was going to start working on it, he came across this story called ‘The Greatest Gift.’ And that turned into ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.’
Even the striving for equality by means of a directed economy can result only in an officially enforced inequality – an authoritarian determination of the status of each individual in the new hierarchical order.
The accumulation of skill and science which has been directed to diminish the difficulty of producing manufactured goods, has not been beneficial to that country alone in which it is concentrated; distant kingdoms have participated in its advantages.
I directed a piece of theater in Italy. We took nine fables from the town and we created a play.
I’m such a fan of Daniel Waters, who wrote the script, and also Mark Waters, his brother, who directed. ‘Vampire Academy’ has, I think, an iconic director.
I directed an episode of ‘Party of Five’ toward the very end of that show. It was a great experience.
I’ve written something and I would like to have my first film directed by the time I’m 30.
Emerson was such an important figure in our literary history, and in the moral and religious development of our people, that attention cannot be directed to him too often.
I directed 24’s pilot. I felt we should follow the characters around as if we were a documentary crew, using available light, hand-held cameras, split screens, sound that isn’t always what it should be, to suit the reality of the premise.
A child rightly trained may be a world-wide blessing, with an influence reaching onward to eternal years. But a neglected or misdirected directed child may live to blight and blast mankind, and leave influences of evil which shall roll on in increasing volume till they plunge into the gulf of eternal perdition.
I’ve directed independent film.
I had starred in more than 30 successful films, six in a row directed by Cecil B. De Mille.
Well I directed a few feature length things for HBO in the late eighties.
There’s no question that my son is better prepared for college than I was. He manages his time better, is more efficient and more directed, and spends less time in lines and more time doing exactly what he sets out to do.
You’re allowed to make things for women on television and there’s not like… you don’t have to go through the humiliation of having made something directed at women. There it’s just accepted, whereas if it’s a feature, it’s like ‘So, talk to me about chick flicks.’
The influence of John Hughes is fully felt in the melodrama ‘Donnie Darko.’ This first film written and directed by Richard Kelly is a wobbly cannonball of a movie that tries to go Mr. Hughes one better; it’s like a Hughes version of a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
I have actually directed over thirty plays and about one hundred commercials for cable TV, but have not yet had the opportunity to direct a feature film.
To a mind like mine, restless, inquisitive, and observant of everything that was passing, it is easy to suppose that religion was the subject to which it would be directed; and, although this subject principally occupied my thoughts, there was nothing that I saw or heard of to which my attention was not directed.
I’m a strong believer in God. Always have been. I’ve always believed that he directed my path from the time I was a kid. He has always been my source of strength.
‘The Road to Wellville’… it had Anthony Hopkins, Bridget Fonda, directed by Alan Parker. I hadn’t been doing all that well, and I was thrilled to get it, and it just didn’t work. It was a terrible movie, but I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault.
It is always a pleasure to be directed by an actor because they know the scene from the actor’s perspective, too. That’s an advantage.
I’ve directed enough in the theatre and a couple of films to know that – to feel fairly secure that if I find a story that I really like I can probably get it done somewhat.
Like me, the great majority of Americans wish both to preserve the traditional definition of marriage and to oppose bias and intolerance directed towards gays and lesbians.
It is easy to predict that some of the discoveries of research directed towards Grand Challenges – but only the most unexpected ones, and at the most unexpected times – will be the basis of revolutionary improvements in the way that we exploit the power of our future computing devices.
I’d never directed before and this movie’s too important to me to put in the hands of some guy who has never directed. Even if it’s me.
In 1998, I set up and directed a research group at the Nanotechnology Institute newly created in the Research Center of Karlsruhe. This allowed to offer to former post-doctoral coworkers the opportunity to develop and to progressively set up independent research activities in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
I directed plays in college. It’s something that I have sort of always put in the back of my mind, and I’m a busy actress, and it’s very difficult to sort of find the time, honestly, to commit to directing. It’s a very – it’s a big, big job.
I always sang in church always was in a gospel choir and directed choirs and always performed, but I never thought of it as a powerful thing.
David Benioff can hardly be classified as an underdog. The 2002 film adaptation of his first novel, ‘The 25th Hour,’ was directed by Spike Lee and starred Edward Norton.
I directed an episode of Touched by an Angel a couple of months ago, and I will be doing more of that. I just like to keep a bit of variety going; it keeps things interesting.
But at a certain point, and I don’t really know… people have asked me this. I don’t know exactly what it was that pushed me towards directing, but I think it was a naive notion that if I directed I would be able to play all the roles. A kind of greed.
I’ve watched ‘Being There’ over 50 times, and every time I watch it, I love every frame. I just wish I had directed it myself.
‘Tommy’ was the first show I ever saw on Broadway. I was 14. It wasn’t ‘the show’ that started that flame in me or anything, but it did excite me in a way no other show had. I’d never seen a show so brilliantly cast and directed.
I was a big fan of ‘Blackadder,’ and my first commercial was directed by John Lloyd – I could have bored him for hours if I’d known he directed my favourite show!
I’ve directed seven movies and know a thing or two about dealing with unexpected crises.
Even though I’ve acted in many films, I have directed for the first time, and I will always consider myself a student.
It was really an experience, being my first time directing a movie. The scenes that I was in, Brooke really directed me all the time. And the scenes that both of us were in, Brooke directed those. Come to think of it, Brooke directed most of the scenes.
The best actors are always the ones who’ve directed as well, as they understand all the problems you face.
Well, the first two movies of any size that I did were a movie called ‘Everybody’s All American’ that Taylor Hackford directed – I was pretty diva on that – and then ‘Pretty Woman,’ which is probably my first real breakthrough.
At least in the United States, most economic resentment is not directed toward billionaires or high-roller financiers – not even corrupt ones. It’s directed at the guy down the hall who got a bigger raise. It’s directed at the husband of your wife’s sister, because he earns 20 percent more than you do.
I would love to be directed by more women.
One good thing I’d like to say about divorce is that it sometimes makes it possible for you to be a much better wife to your next husband because you have a place for your anger – it’s not directed at the person you’re currently with.
To win Best Director at Sundance was beyond anything I could have imagined for myself. It’s still an incredible feeling to know I won. But as happy as I am about winning, I also know many other women of color have directed amazing films over the years that were equally deserving and didn’t win.
And now, dear sister, I must leave this house or the retreating army will make me a prisoner in it by filling up the road I am directed to take.
But if one could go back in time, I’d love to have been directed by Howard Hawks, who’s one of my great heroes. One of the greatest directors there ever was. He directed probably one of the greatest westerns of all time in ‘Rio Bravo’.
The hate directed against the colored people here in St. Louis has always given me a sad feeling because when I was a little girl I remember the horror of the East St. Louis race riot.
I’ve been directing for 25 years almost, and I’ve only directed nine films in that time because I like to be careful.
I directed some movies in the past, and I’d still love to do that. You know, the whole thing is a labor of love, I think.
