We will now consult with them (Latin Americans) in a positive spirit. We have to have our system up and running on January 1, so we want to move things forward as fast as we can.
controls definitely guys hawks meaning poorly script studio system time worked
Could I have worked under a system where there were Draconian controls on my creativity, meaning budget, time, script choices, etc.? Definitely not. I would have fared poorly under the old studio system that guys like Howard Hawks did so well in. I cannot.
decent fairly homes relate screen system ubiquitous
I relate more to the fact that 80-inch plasma has just started to become ubiquitous and in people's homes the fairly decent 5.1 sound system and the big screen isn't that out of reach.
attention audiences believe demands detail image involved less level pay resolution seen smarter
I think the resolution involved in the high-def, Blu-ray image demands we pay attention to every detail to a level we've never seen before. The audiences have to believe everything they're seeing. As viewers, we're all so experienced and so much smarter than we realize. With Blu-ray, there will be less tricking of the eye.
anyone bird birds europe except exports farms flu perfectly poultry turkey
We don't think anyone should be restricting exports of poultry because poultry is perfectly safe. There is no bird flu on poultry farms in Europe except on one turkey farm in France, where all the birds have been slaughtered.

costume laurence sounds suffice wardrobe works
Suffice it to say, every actor works differently. Laurence Olivier would put on his costume and when the wardrobe was right, he was in character. That sounds superficial, but it's true, and look at the results.
forced second
We don't want to be forced to have a second reform.
drag entangled prefer wider
We don't want things to drag on too long and we would prefer this not to become entangled in the wider Doha discussions at the end of the year.
beyond bring mean moments people time trying
What I try to do - I mean 'try,' because you don't get there all the time - is to have impact with content. It's those moments in which you're trying to bring people beyond filmed theater. If I have an ambition, it's that.
domestic export good help less market meat raise remains sector
We can also raise export subsidies to help the sector to export produce. The more meat is exported, the less remains on the domestic market and that's good for prices.
adapt countries forward leave measures member national states
We don't know how many countries are going to put forward measures and we don't know how much those measures will cost. We didn't want to be too prescriptive, we wanted to leave it to the member states to adapt the measures to the national situation.
bring call good maybe opportunity seize
We bring our preparation to the table, and opportunity may present itself, and if you are well prepared, you can seize opportunity and then maybe something good happens, and you call that luck.
