Being a director, whether you're in rehearsal or you're in auditions or you're in a creative meeting, is so much to me about being present in the moment. There's a sense of time stopping.
My action follows my characters. If a character is a cop, you cannot be posing all the time, you cannot fly off the roof because it doesn't make any sense - it's not practical.
I call it like the domino theory of reality. If you can go one step at a time and it seems to make sense, you can then take your audience into an area that is relatively outlandish.
I entered the Physics Department in 1950, receiving a Master's degree in 1953 and a Ph.D. in 1956. It is difficult to convey the sense of excitement that pervaded the Department at that time.
I had my daughter, and with that came a deep sense of responsibility; my time for work had become precious, and it had to have more meaning.
I was formed by 'The Forsyte Saga' marathon. There was something about seeing all those events telescoped that was unbelievably moving: that sense of time as something that can be tinkered with.
Things were here before you and will be here after you're gone. The geographic features, especially, give you a sense of your own place in the world and in time.
If I can write a book that will help the world make a little more sense to a teen, then that's why I was put on the planet.
The appeal of travel books is also the sense that you are different, an outsider, almost like the Robinson Crusoe or Christopher Columbus notion of being the first person in a new place.
If two people believe in the same story, they might be thousands of miles apart and total strangers, but they still have a sense they can trust each other.
Only when we realize that there is no eternal, unchanging truth or absolute truth can we arouse in ourselves a sense of intellectual responsibility.
Rani: [to Olexander] My sense of humour is very nice. You'll find out soon. [laughs loudly]
Lynn Sear: Look at my face; I was not thinking anything bad about you.
Malcolm Crowe: [to Cole] If you could change something in your life, anything at all, what would it be?
Margaret: He must like you very much. Marianne: It is not just for me. It is for all of us.
Fanny: Oh, a cottage! How charming. A little cottage is always very snug.
Darth Vader: I sense something; a presence I've not felt since...
Due to the reliance on the old heavy industries in many parts of the country, it makes perfect sense that we need to spend more money per head of population on welfare support in Scotland.
The people with money to build today are corporations - they are our popes and Medicis. The sense of pride is why they build.
In the '30s, the Keynesian stuff worked at least in the sense that you could print money without inflation because there was all this productivity growth happening. That's not going to work today.
Money is like a sixth sense without which you cannot make a complete use of the other five.
