One of the things that Ang brings to all of his projects is his deep sense of being a double exile, an outsider's outsider.
Just doing a project because it's an opportunity won't create meaning. As an artist, I need something to communicate.
My favorite actors are people who I don't know anything about, and I can project any character onto them.
I would never sign on to a project that was male-bashing, because first and foremost I'm a man... what guy would sign on for that?
Ideas are really what interest me in producing a band, if I can bring something productive to the project.
All of our code is open source, so it can be used for other projects.
Start a huge, foolish project, like Noah…it makes absolutely no difference what people think of you.
I come from the rougher side of Sydney. I don't know whether you can compare them to the projects , but in Australia, it definitely is the rougher side.
I like to do projects that challenge me, and hopefully in turn challenge the audience, or open your eyes to something you're not aware of.
State formation has been a brutal project, with many hideous consequences. But the results exist, and their pernicious aspects should be overcome.
People see you as an object, not as a person, and they project a set of expectations onto you. People who don't have it think beauty is a blessing, but actually it sets you apart.
If it's total freedom, I guess the ultimate thing you can go into is total silence between the audience and performer, with the performer projecting something he doesn't even have to play.
I have a project at HBO and one at the Family Channel coming that are being looked at. Aside from that I am not doing much more than playing golf and some skiing.
If I'm home, I'll be happy. And if I'm around family, and if I'm working on projects with friends, I don't know what else I'd want to be doing.
My guess is that people look at me and project their own values - importance of family, ego is healthy but not the biggest thing. I don't know. I can't explain my popularity.
In the film business, when you're young, you just want to work. But when you're older, it has more to do with who's involved with the project - who you're going to get in the boat with.
If I find cool, open-minded people, want to do unique one-of-a-kind kind of project, I'll do it as long as I can.
If you look at the history of communication, new technologies like the phone and e-mail didn't just let people do things faster; it fundamentally changed the scope of the kinds of projects people dared to take on.
The creative project of self-government - hard and frustrating but necessary - is to produce that political commonwealth that changes over time, that can change sometimes by the minute, if circumstances intervene.
The federal government has never created one job that is sustainable long term. It creates government project work but not creating real work where people are.
The government forces you to give your money to things you don't believe in, to have your money go to projects that might be inherently immoral.
