Although filmmaking is collaborative and involves trust ultimately it is the director who holds the whole picture together in their head.
One of the challenges in networking is everybody thinks it's making cold calls to strangers. Actually it's the people who already have strong trust relationships with you who know you're dedicated smart a team player who can help you.
Well first of all making films is a collaborative process. You need people. You need people you trust and love and who are your friends. People you can work with.
And as I've gotten deeper into the process of making films and television and such I think I have more trust in the fact that you really never know what you're going to find after the twenty-fifth take.
I love actors both my parents were actors and the work with actors is the most enjoyable part of making a film. It's important that they feel protected and are confident they won't be betrayed. When you create that atmosphere of trust it's in the bag - the actors will do everything to satisfy you.
As an alcoholic you have no appreciation for your wife or your children's feelings but I'm making up for that now. I'm winning my children's trust back.
Part of filmmaking is always a guessing game and part of it is always a game of trust.
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.
If we put our trust in the common sense of common men and 'with malice toward none and charity for all' go forward on the great adventure of making political economic and social democracy a practical reality we shall not fail.
Air travel survived decades of terrorism including attacks which resulted in the deaths of everyone on the plane. It survived 9/11. It'll survive the next successful attack. The only real worry is that we'll scare ourselves into making air travel so onerous that we won't fly anymore.
But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.
I travel all over the country making speeches for people I believe in.
I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway making cakes.
There is no waste of time in life like that of making explanations.
What with making their way and enjoying what they have won heroes have no time to think. But the sons of heroes - ah they have all the necessary leisure.
Everybody thinks making films back to back is a big deal but they did it all the time in the old days.
Not managing your time and making excuses are two bad habits. Don't put them both together by claiming you 'don't have the time'.
I'm really thankful to God man. Like now I'm really making a real comeback with my group. With or without a record with or without a movie. And behind all the negative press behind this movie.
The 'Night Train' has already been a crazy ride for me. We flew around making TV appearances and stadium announcements all over the country fueled by little more than coffee and adrenaline... so many fans jumped on board with us and I couldn't be more thankful.
Well I actually first got into music as a small child and as I became a teen I sought out making money from music weather that was singing lounge gigs backup in studios or weddings.

Can you imagine young people nowadays making a study of trigonometry for the fun of it? Well I did.
People would like better batteries but they are wary of making investments. What is required is both a technology push and a market pull.
I am in the process of trying to decide whether I can make a substantive and productive contribution to the policy-making process. I was always there because I wanted to work on the pressing issues of the day - I'm interested in energy I'm interested in the climate bill and technology policy.
It's amazing how fast generations lose sight of other generations. One of the first things the young composers who come to work with me say is that they want to write music people will like instead of gaining their credentials by being rejected by the audience.
