I could not finance a movie on my own. Frankly, I could not even afford to take a year off. I, like most people in America, need to keep making money.
When I work with countries struggling to pay for budgets or finance trade deficits, I reflect on how Americans do not spend a moment considering the unique advantages of being able to issue bonds and print money freely.
The confidence is really driven by the woman - whether she can have the confidence that there will be enough earning or income to finance all the domestic spending - but also by the middle-income class, which for many Asian countries has become the g...
I personally believe that there's going to be a good case for the government preserving some type of guarantee to make sure that people have the ability to borrow to finance a house even in a very damaging recession. I think there's going to be a goo...
For some time, I thought being a producer would be a more fulfilling career than being an actor. But then I went to a conference in Cannes with 300 other producers, all desperately chasing finance for their projects... and realized being an actor was...

It strikes me that presidential campaigns can often bring out the worst as well as the best in us.

Promoting a record on a major label is like running a minor military campaign.
I don't care if you've just won an Oscar, you still have to campaign for parts.
Britney Spears is definitely my favorite past Candie's girl; her campaigns were gorgeous.
My endorsement of Senator Obama will not be welcome news to my friends and family at the Clinton campaign.
