It's not about an opening weekend. It's about a career, building a set of films you're proud of. Period.
We go old-school during the summer, like swimming or setting up lemonade stands. I try to teach my kids to make their own fun.
I don't like to watch playback. But being on the set, watching the way the camera is being moved and the way the light is being used, you do get an idea of it.
On The Others, very atmospheric and probably mysterious is how I would say it felt to be on the set. It felt just a little uneasy, the atmosphere that we were trying to capture.
Most of the books that feature supernatural characters blending with the modern world and are usually set in big cities.
I'm currently doing Undeclared an American TV show set in a college. It just got aired and got massive ratings so hopefully that'll screen in the UK soon.
I'll tell you, being on set on 'Harry Potter' was nerve-wracking. It was surreal to be in a room with those three kids, all of whom know exactly what they're doing.
I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a three-dimensional boxlike universe especially set up for it.
If no set of moral ideas were truer or better than any other, there would be no sense in preferring civilised morality to savage morality.
My favorite hotel is the Villa Alilla in Bali. The setting is pure bliss, overlooking the ocean of Uluwhatu; the eye line makes you feel as if you're floating on top of the ocean.
On Disney, we stick to the script. But you go to the 'Grown Ups set' and it's completely different. Same thing with Tyler Perry - it's nothing but ad-libbing.
What sets humans apart from animals is that we have to walk around saying how smart we are, and animals just live their lives.
I have brought a PS2 on set with me before. But games can be really addicting, and that's dangerous. So I tend to keep it fairly limited on a certain level.
The more objects you set your heart upon, the more thorns there are to tear your peace of mind to shreds.
When we began Starbucks, what I wanted to try to do was to create a set of values, guiding principles, and culture.
We should set our goals; then learn to control our appetites. Otherwise, we will lose ourselves in the confusion of the world.
But what sets Europe apart is we insist on a social model that consists of solidarity, equal opportunity and a certain amount of redistribution.
I never set out to write songs about the world around me... it just kind of came about as a result of paying more attention to things.
Follow your heart as long as you live...Bring your whole heart towards excellence...And no limit may be set to art.
My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form.
But one sets of grandparents lived on Davidson Avenue in the Bronx and one lived in Manhattan and I had an aunt and uncle in Queens, so in my heart I was a New Yorker.
