I always wanted to do a very fun, adventurous kind of car chase, and the opening of ‘Ruin’ is essentially like the ‘Star Wars’ trench run.
In ‘Age of Innocence,’ the opening flowers, that’s a metaphor for the film, the Victorian veneer with the malevolence beneath it. We attempted to show that with flowers that start as sweet and then slowly become malevolent.
I’m happy and I’m focused on my work… it’s incredible to be able to work with 20th Century Fox and to keep opening doors for Mexicans and Latins in the United States.

I see I’m changing the game and opening doors for others, from my beginning from the east end of London. It’s not a sob story; it made me the person I am today. It’s seeing kids from any area or background you’re from. There’s a chance; you can make it.
Only reform and opening up can develop China. We must not be afraid of any risks, and not be confused by any distractions.
I’d give a year of my life if I could hit a homerun on opening day of this great new park.
For me, Glasgow is all about the people and the spirit of the place. You have enough Gregg’s bakers, though, I’ll say that. The opening of the 1977 ‘Star Wars’ movie was possibly the only time I’ve seen a longer queue round the block than in Glasgow for sausage rolls. That was quite an eye-opener.
In England, ballet is kind of closed. They are opening up a little bit, but it was always something not for the general public. So you don’t get fame, like a football star or a film star. And if you don’t get fame, you can’t do other stuff.
My mom did this really cool thing: when ‘Pulp Fiction’ came out on video, she made, like, a ‘mommy edit.’ She took two VCRs and dubbed ‘Pulp Fiction’ from one tape to the next and edited out all the parts she thought were unsuitable for a kid. It was basically, like, the opening and ending credits.
I have had a variety of ideas, and I have thought about opening a dance studio. I am very passionate about dance. There are not many dance studios where I live.
I did ‘Echo Beach,’ a surfing drama that meant I was often topless. Next came ‘Demons,’ and the opening sequence had me in my boxer shorts; and then there was a scene in ‘Trinity’ with me walking around in boxer shorts. It was only one scene in each series.
Her face betokened all things dear and good, The light of somewhat yet to come was there Asleep, and waiting for the opening day, When childish thoughts, like flowers would drift away.
Not considering this opening worthy of more attention, I continued our pursuit to the Northwest, being desirous to embrace the advantages of the prevailing breeze.

In the past 20 years and more since China embarked on the road of reform and opening up, we have moved steadfastly to promote political restructuring and vigorously build democratic politics under socialism.
I’ve done three Broadway shows; once the curtain goes up, that’s it. I mean, you prepare and you rehearse like crazy, but after opening night, the director’s not there anymore, you know. He gives you notes during previews after each performance, but opening night, you’re on your own.
Normalization of U.S.-China relations in 1979, combined with economic reforms and opening, transformed the Chinese people’s lives.

Jack Nicklaus liked to curve the ball by opening or closing the clubface at address. I never felt I was good enough to do it his way. I didn’t like changing my swing path, either, which some guys do. There’s only one really reliable way to curve the ball: Change your hand position at address.
The reform and opening up of China hasn’t been happening quite the way we’ve been told, like a small bird breaking out of its egg. Its more like a cicada shedding its skin, emerging ever so slowly. Energy is the last part of that shell that needs to be shed.
I treat my wife very differently than I treat my chums and my pals. I wouldn’t worry about calling them on Valentine’s Day, opening the door for them, or making sure they were OK.
Texas has a lot of challenges, but if I choose to run I will talk about opening democracy to mainstream Texans and not just to a closed circle of entrenched ideologues.
‘Heathers’ was probably the first time when I started to notice that people were opening doors for me and giving me tables at restaurants, regardless of what I was wearing. A whole world opened up to me that was shocking and weird and different, and I enjoyed it, and, you know, I took great advantage of it at times.
The robots are far more trippy and opening your imagination than my face or Thomas’ face, and the way we live, which is not even a crazy celebrity lifestyle.

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.
If you want to see a bunch of happy Americans, go out to opening day at any baseball stadium in the land.
Recently I made the mistake of opening a bundle of reviews that someone had sent me of a production from years and years ago, and someone had written a really lovely review except that it made a remark about the way I spoke: ‘A lot of people find her voice terribly irritating.’ Do they? I had no idea.
My father was a coal hewer from Goldthorpe, a coal-mining village in South Yorkshire. He played for the Yorkshire second team as an opening fast bowler – to me he was a gorgeously heroic man. He helped form a union and closed down the Barnsley seam because it was seeping gas, and saved many, many lives.
If you don’t have the smoking gun, then it’s pointless to hector interviewees. Because you just shut people up instead of opening them up.

My father was a promoter of Fresh Fest, and they needed an opening act. He got me a slot as a dancer. We tried it out the first time in Atlanta and the crowd went crazy. I was the opening clown.

When you’re opening for someone, there’s no pressure.
Speaking fluent English – like doing long division or successfully rewiring a 220-volt electrical outlet – is not a skill you’re born with. It’s something you learn, occasionally even by opening some old dictionary.
