I never practice before I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them and after that it's about the director taking your hand.

I love to be directed. They can trust me and go.

It's not my job to try and alter the director's style - he's in charge and I'll always give him my trust.

Some directors cast you because they trust you to do the performance - but then they forget to direct you.

A lot of film directors are quite scared of actors. They are a bit of a nightmare sometimes but I like them. It looks like cunning but you try to get extra things from them all the time by stealth by making them feel confident so they trust you and you can push a bit.

Every time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.

I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.

Now therefore the Directors of the company are hereby ordered to see that precautions are taken to make travel on said railroad perfectly safe by using a screw with at least twenty-four inches diameter.

I only travel to good material a good director and a good company. I won't work in another country for a year any longer because I have a lovely wife and I adore her and I can't bear to be away from her.

Until the June 1967 war I was completely caught up in the life of a young professor of English. Beginning in 1968 I started to think write and travel as someone who felt himself to be directly involved in the renaissance of Palestinian life and politics.

Greater personal choice individually tailored services stronger local accountability greater efficiency - these are all central to the new direction of travel we have set for our public services.

Each day as I travel through downtown Tucson I am amazed at how quickly the most ancient of human behaviors have changed. For as long as there have been Homo sapiens - roughly 200 000 years - people have filled their lives principally with two activities: talking directly with other people and doing physical things.

A pain stabbed my heart as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world.

There comes a time when deceit and defiance must be seen for what they are. At that point a gathering danger must be directly confronted. At that point we must show that beyond our resolutions is actual resolve.

Time moves in one direction memory in another.

I'm thankful to get the opportunity to direct. I hope I don't mess it up.

I am not officially involved now in the direction of the Teen Challenge ministry but I rejoice that God permits me to be the father of these ministries.

I would like to see every parent either directly - if they are comfortable with the technology - or through a personal tutor being able to access real-time information about their child.

The way you want to respond is to ask a question: Is this technology directly relevant to our hedgehog concept? If the answer is YES then we want to become pioneers not in the technology but in the application of that technology specifically linked to our hedgehog concept.

I remember feeling that technology was like trying to draw with your foot. In a ski boot. It was the most indirect way to work imaginable but the potential had us all excited. I started in stop motion.

There's evidence of a social decline in direct proportion to technology and the industrialization of the motion picture industry.

I'm always interested in mixing technology and music. You know maybe I'll have a MIDI bass pickup at some point I don't really think that's the direction I would want to go.

Historically the director has been the key creative element in a film and we must maintain that. We must protect that in spite of the fact that there is new technology that's continually trying to erode that.

A molecular manufacturing technology will let us build molecular surgical tools and those tools will for the first time let us directly address the problems at the very root level.
