We think of enterprise architecture as the process we use for fully describing and mapping business functionality and business requirements and relating them to information systems requirements.
I think these films are little creative diamonds that give directors a chance at fleshing out story, characters and visuals in a short form.
Regardless of what the press said, she never saw the finished product because she died before. But she saw more than half the movie and she said she loved it.
I was always criticized for style and content, but I enjoy trying to tell stories a different way, particularly with this movie, Man On Fire.
I can't sit on my bum very long in a movie theater seat, and when I'm directing, I always want to move the camera or edit.
An established film director can just pick up the phone and say to a star, 'Hey, are you interested in doing a commercial?'
We had a brilliant upbringing, and we never wanted for anything, even though we went through highs and lows of finances.
We don't ever want IT to be the thing that holds GM back.
We come from a tough, working class background, so we're very tight.
The real world has always been far more exciting and funny and dangerous to me than anything somebody could conjure up sitting in front of a computer.
Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because we're from North England.
I'm a plagiarist - I always look back at other movies, and I steal, but I steal well, and I reinvent.
My stories are pretty simplistic, but the characters are always complex and always right, and that comes from the script and my research and reverse-engineering what I find in the real world.
The true excitement comes from the actors - that gives you the true drama - and whatever I can do with the camera, that's icing on the cake.
