It's nice to be asked to do good projects.
It's sad, the lottery. Good projects get funded by it, but there's an air of desperation about it.
Good teachers must inspire children to work hard - make projects and give them good marks even if genuine projects look crude and unprofessional.
When good things come in, my agent calls or sends me the script. But I allow them to sort through the offers so that I am not just sitting and reading everything because honestly, sometimes the scripts that appeal to me are projects that are not good...
Because I'm a younger laureate, it seemed important to me to do something - not to just accept the honor of the position, but actually to make it useful. It's hard though, I think, to come up with a good, meaningful project, because my predecessors h...
They are damn good projects - excellent projects. That goes for all the projects up there. You know some people make fun of people who speak a foreign language, and dumb people criticize something they do not understand, and that is what is going on ...
I usually have pretty good intuition on projects that I work on.
I'm no good at down-time. I panic slightly and then plan a project or set up a meeting about starting a project.
For the good of our environment, the good of the economy, and the good of the Nation, I strongly urge support of the upper Mississippi locks and dams project.
I'm just trying to find a good project. Work with a good director, someone I really admire. Find a good role.
A good project but a poor director will always make a mediocre film, but an average script and good director can make a good film, as he will put in everything to make the film look good.
If you look at what I do, there's no consistency. The consistency is that there is no consistency. I do projects that are good and not so good.
I was a general business major, which meant that in any business school and particularly at Smith School, which is a very good school, you do a lot of team projects. Well I was the guy who gave the presentations for the team projects.
In the early 1990s, when a lot of the developing world opened up to international capital flows... they ended up in very good long-term projects, but projects that weren't going to pay off for five or 10 or 20 years.
I've just always loved really good projects. The things that draw me into a new project have very little to do with genre and have more to do with the characters I'll be playing, the people I'll get to work with and things like that.
I now, more and more, appreciate when I'm in a group of good people and get to work in good movies and projects. I'm wildly grateful and appreciative.
I just want to work with good filmmakers and do good projects that mean something to me and play interesting characters. That's really it.
The whole goal for me with my career is just follow good projects and good parts and challenge myself as much as I can.
I made a decision to live outside the city in northern California. My agent said to me, 'Kid, you're going to make a mint in television movies.' He positioned me, and we picked really good projects, and I cornered that market. They were 20-day projec...
The First Splendid Truth: To be happy, I need to think about feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right, in an atmosphere of growth.
