I can’t dislike you, but I will say this to you: you haven’t got long before you are all going to kill yourselves, because you are all crazy. And you can project it back at me, but I am only what lives inside each and every one of you.
You’ve got to have a young element in a show. Any project needs youth and dynamism as well old codgerdom and experience.
I don’t know why the guys with the big money don’t find five terrific young producers and give each of them enough to commission a musical and to live on for a year. You’d be likely to get at least one project with a future.
I’ve been saying for almost 20 years that I need to do a jazz project and it ought to be either big band or I should do some jazz songs with a trio or quartet.
But now I really don’t want to work unless I really, really care about a project.
Before I joined the project most of the English people with whom I had made personal contacts were left wing and affected to some degree or other by the same kind of philosophy.
Nothing is impossible in this world. Firm determination, it is said, can move heaven and earth. Things appear far beyond one’s power, because one cannot set his heart on any arduous project due to want of strong will.
One answer is that the town’s elected officials thought that the project served a public purpose and that the various subsidies and favors were worth the price. But they may or may not have thought this.
For whatever reason, every project I do becomes sort of a cult, or a cultish show, you know, like ‘Battlestar,’ or even a film I did years ago, ‘Kalifornia,’ people refer to it as a cult film.
Each project, I suffer like I’m starting over again in life. There’s a lot of healthy insecurity that fuels this stuff.
I’m always learning from experiences because each one is different and there are different players involved in the project at the time with their own way of doing things.
It’s different for every project. Some parts are quicker than others to get and know; sometimes right up until the last moment you’re just praying that something will click. But you can only do a certain amount of work and then at some point you’ve got to think: ‘OK, I’m just going to have to leap now.’
When I get really passionate about something, the audition process is really strenuous and hard on me because I feel so much for the project, and I become so attached to it. It’s hard. It’s stressful because you want it so badly, and you’re crafting this character that you’re falling in love with.
I’m reticent to say much more, but we would like to begin in the coming year. We’d like to shoot through the seasons because of the passage of time. This project is the great love of my life.
I think animation is like running a marathon, and making a movie is like a 100 meter sprint. The question is: are you a marathon man or are you a sprinter? I realized that I was more of a sprinter than a marathon man. With a long, long project, I get bored easily.
Don’t undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.
You shouldn’t be afraid of failure – when something fails, you think, ‘What did I learn from that experience? I can do better next time.’ Then kill that project and move on to the next. Don’t get disappointed.
‘Shelby Star’ is going great. We shot a music video, and I’m building an app and some other things for the project.
People had boxed me in as a ‘pretty girl with followers that’s rapping,’ but I think my project and the work speaks for itself.
A creative project is a moving target. You never end up where you start.
In a record time of five-and-a-half months, we completed the prestigious Pattiseema irrigation project, linking two major rivers in the state.
Every play I do, every book I write, every painting I paint, I will struggle with. I don’t know what it’s like for a project to come easy.
To me, it’s about good work, a good story, and tastefully done. There’s so many stigmas – oh, you’re on the small screen or you do films or you do reality. It’s about the project and not the medium on which it’s delivered. It’s the story you tell, period.
I had a dozen years to act before starting a family, then found that motherhood dwarfed everything else. Once or twice a year, I take a project that appeals to me for its redeeming social value.
Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing – if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.
Do I believe, for example, that by using magic I could fly? No. How would you get around gravity? Impossible. Do I believe that I might be able to project my consciousness into a very, very vivid simulation of flying? Yeah. Yes, I’ve done that. Yes, that works.
If the United States commits to the goal of reaching Mars, it will almost certainly do so in reaction to the progress of other nations – as was the case with NASA, the Apollo program, and the project that became the International Space Station.
I have always chosen subjects which are little different, and not subjects that you see. That challenges me and the actors who work in the project.
I think my view is that whenever you project into the future you’re never likely to be accurate in the details, or the paraphernalia and style. It’s in the spirit of it.
I’ve produced before, and sometimes it’s by default. In the indie level, you can’t just come to set and be like, ‘Oh, I’m an actor.’ You have to be willing to help out, make the project happen.
Right after I did ‘The Fountain,’ I wanted to go make a documentary or something that was less constructed – more natural. I was searching for a project, and sniffing around, ‘The Wrestler’ fit right in.
We’ve always been the development project that lived in a time pressured setting and always where commercial entities were relying heavily on releases in a certain time frame.
The Shins is, in a way, a recording project that turned into a live band. So I don’t really keep myself beholden to any rules when I’m in the studio for Shins. I just gotta get it done as best I can.
I couldn’t sell water in a desert. I have no business acumen. I can tell you why you have no business acumen, and I can tell you why your project may or may not work, but I have no ability to make money.
I do a project, and then I move on.
My father was a very warm, gregarious, sociable person who had many interests. He lived his life very much in the present, full of activities and the next project. He had many hobbies. He was not given to retrospection.
I don’t think it’s important to be that good at singing. I think people who are good at singing sing backing vocals for pop stars. It’s about how you project. I wouldn’t consider myself to be a singer.
‘La Lupe’ is my passion project. I’ve done it as a one-woman show, but I’m raising money to turn it into a film. It’s a story of a Cuban singer who became the Queen of Latin Soul, the first woman on the N.Y. salsa scene.
Within NASA, the shuttle is perhaps the least-groundbreaking project. Recall that Apollo was about creating brand-new technologies that did something unprecedented – putting men on the moon. The shuttle is, by comparison, a relic designed to make going into orbit routine.
I’m very happy at City, very happy since the day I came. I knew that the project was good, and in my head, there is nothing else but Manchester City, so how long I’m going to be at City is just never a question.
When I go back to the core of my childhood, my cousin Lucy seems always to be in the peripheral vision of my memories. She is off to one side, always off to one side, with a book, with a scheme or a project or an enterprise.
Leadership offers an opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life, no matter what the project.
The Mozilla project is big in terms of lines of code and complexity.
This earth indeed is the very Body of God, and it is from this body that we are born, live, suffer, and resurrect to eternal life. Either all is God’s Great Project, or we may rightly wonder whether anything is God’s Great Project. One wonders if we humans will be the last to accept this.
Every project has its own logic and parameters. In some objects, functionality is primary, and in others, it is rather inconsequential.
When I was 16 or 17, when I started, I never even considered not doing a project. I just wanted to work.
I definitely want to work on a project with young designers, not just French but international.
I think I had the most fun making a movie with ‘Dedication,’ just because you knew that it was a passion project for everyone involved. We had X amount of days to shoot New York in the cold. No trailers. Just sort of kind of doing it guerilla style in a way.
After I met my partner, Mr. Protherow, we decided to start a banking project, and at the same time we started to think already about a business on a bigger scale. At the very beginning we thought more about gaining money, to have a normal life with our families, etc.
I’m asked all the time, ‘Doesn’t it feel great to finish the novel?’ And the answer to that is, ‘No.’ It’s sort of a loss to stop a 10-year project, which is an imaginary project in the sense that it’s a work of my imagination.
Keeping the risk management plan up to date can transform it from a door stop into a vital project management tool. Remember: what you don’t know can kill your project.
