A word on ‘Kingdom of Heaven:’ if you get the four-disc set, which is 3 hr. 8 min., you’ll see why it’s such a good movie. It was a real passion project, and it’s the film I’m most proud of. I think it was treated incredibly unfairly.
Ah, there’s a director. Astonishing, Spike Lee. A feisty guy, but a guy who’s, I think, incredibly misunderstood. I think people review his politics or his color as opposed to his filmmaking sometimes. Because he’s a wonderful, wonderful filmmaker and a lover of the art.
If I make two movies my entire life, and they’re two movies that – whether they make a lot of money or two people go to see them – they speak of me, then I consider them incredibly successful. I don’t need to be Steven Spielberg.
My family deals with those risks. The best I can do is talk to them about some of those risks. I’m not incredibly specific with them, especially with my kids.
When I was talking to strangers over the Internet in the 1990s, there would be a much more intense connection because they’re disembodied, so it’s just your brain and your soul interacting with this other person, and it just frees you up in this incredibly empowering way.
We are incredibly poor predictors of our future.
Okay, I am happy with the way I look, but I have never, never, ever thought of myself as a ‘pretty girl.’ Honestly. When I read some of these scripts I’m sent, and they describe the heroine as ‘incredibly beautiful,’ I wonder why they sent it to me.
I don’t think anybody in my family meant there to be any pressure for me to write. But our parents were incredibly verbal and wrote for a living. The house was full of books, and we all grew up steeped in language. I mean, our mother recited poetry at the dinner table.
I don’t like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, ‘Blah blah blah movies.’ I find it incredibly boring.
There’s something incredibly vulnerable about middle school for me. We’re really impressionable during that period. The cement’s still wet, so to speak, and a lot of things later in life are born during that season.
I’ve had some incredibly triumphal things happen in my life.
I watched Ricki Lake’s documentary, ‘The Business of Being Born,’ and that led me to call a midwife, and not an ob-gyn, when I found out I had conceived. My delivery was not easy – they call it ‘labor,’ not ‘a vacation!’ – but I was incredibly grateful that I did it that way.
It has been an incredibly rewarding experience to work with so many dedicated SEC staff who strive every day to protect investors and ensure our markets operate with integrity.
I’ve always thought Mexico City was incredibly dynamic.
I met and became close with John Szarkowski of the Museum of Modern Art. He was incredibly supportive about me working in color.
When I had my first boy it all started and that male energy seemed to keep me awake but since my daughter, who’s incredibly serene, I can’t seem to stop sleeping because she’s asleep all the time. It’s a pattern.
The most difficult quality is to make the right decision. Because you can be quick, you can be strong, you can jump incredibly, you can have the best shots and you can be able to score goals from 50 yards, but if you don’t know when to shoot, when to run or when to jump, you’re lost.
People build up a picture of Johnny Depp as being some sort of weird pirate character. In reality he’s incredibly nice… one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
Writing is an incredibly lonely job.
Health innovation, enabled by digital technologies to build big consumer service brands, is an incredibly interesting, complex problem to work on.
Don’t get me wrong, some of the mis-informed articles I have read over the last few weeks have been incredibly frustrating, but for my part I fully appreciate the opportunity I have been given and want to grasp it firmly.
I’ve tried open-ended jobs and found myself incredibly unhappy. I don’t like the monomania of showing up every day and doing the same thing. I don’t know where my next cheque is coming from, I don’t know where my next job is coming from, I have really sketchy health insurance, but I need variety in my life.
The way I make art – the way a lot of people make art – is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.
I wouldn’t want them to feel lonely or outcast ever in any way. And no matter where they were in the world, I’d want them to always feel incredibly confident about who they were and proud.
Lord knows there’s a lot of bad news in the world today to get you down, but there is one big thing happening that leaves me incredibly hopeful about the future, and that is the budding revolution in global online higher education.
I’m really just a regular guy who has had an incredibly blessed life.
I wanted to make these people real, not like they were in a painting. Like these are people who don’t know they’re in a period movie. Those concerns are incredibly immediate.
Atlanta is an incredibly cool city.
My marriage is incredibly important to me. It’s the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.
I was always incredibly driven and found it impossible to relax. I felt that if I slacked off for a minute to enjoy myself, then so many things would be missed.
