When you're shooting a movie that's not necessarily a huge budget, you have to think about what you can leave out and still make it interesting.
I had started off, before I ever got an acting job, working at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Productions as a reader. I was always interested in that side of the camera.
The Bush Cabinet is quite interesting, there are no flashy people in there. No stars. They all seem quite focused and serious and knowledgeable about the areas to which they have been appointed.
The problem with the Tea Party is that it's been used in a way that scares people into supporting an agenda that's counter to their own interests.
I wasn't really interested in doing television. I don't have that much ambition. My agent, Eileen Feldman, has all the ambition for me.
Judaism is interesting in that there is something there that I think you just can't understand if you're not a Jew - it moves into a realm of true mystery.
I've read the whole 'Divergent' series, the 'Pretty' series. I just read it because I find this stuff interesting to read.
It is not easy to get parts in mainstream films for most people of color. Hollywood and British writers are not writing parts for us, or the directors are not interested in casting us in parts that are color-blind.
Possessing things is not that interesting. Living in a grand environment to show myself and others that I have wealth has zero appeal.
I understand the human instinct to want to create a nest and possess things, to show them off, but for me personally, it became less and less interesting.
I've never found it made the slightest difference being a woman - though there is a sort of feeling that as you get older you're not so interesting.
It's no secret that I've always had an interest in mythology. Whether it's Arthurian or ancient Greek or even Marvel universe. I've always connected with it on some level.
There was unprecedented elite condemnation of the plans to invade Iraq. Sensible analysts were able to perceive that the enterprise carried significant risks for U.S. interests, however conceived.
Germany is probably the richest country in Western Europe. Yet they wouldn't take any television with Duke and Ella, their reaction being that people weren't interested in it.
What I enjoy so much about the Tonys' uniqueness is that anyone who's tuning in has an interest in seeing the show, so our job is halfway done.
I get to choose things that interest me as opposed to trying to get any job that will have me, which for a vast majority of actors is the case.
I could care less if it's Mick Jagger or the man on the street. I just like interesting people, and I happen to know a lot of stars.
I was really interested to see whether we could make predictions or forecasts by listening in on what people were saying on social media.
My parents found what I was interested in and encouraged me. They didn't put me in front of a television and buy lots of toys, the way some American parents do.
What interests me in writing a novel is taking really remote voices, characters, and stories and beginning to create some kind of web.
I'm very interested in structure, how multiple stories are assembled in different ways; that is what memory does as well.
