I think that all of us are just really so amazed that we're going. It seems the dominating factors are 'Million Dollar Baby' and '(The) Aviator,' and there's some things that our film can't compete with in the marketplace.
I saw her when she was like 10-years-old in "The Barbara Mandrell Story," which is pretty bizarre since it was on in Canada the first week we were there... so strange. I knew her face. I kind of remembered her, but I didn't know anything about her family.
It's more than the alpha male. You can feel he's a powerful man, and yet, he's so kind. There's a lot of love around him.
The last studio film I made was Fire with Fire for Universal in 1984. After that, I had to fight for the independent movies and TV projects I got. I never received mainstream offers any more. I sort of languished on the detour route. It makes you feel so inadequate. You see yourself as a loser.
But now I've heard him say that that is not the case and, in fact, he has a lot of plans for the show.
I just find it so refreshing to work with a young person who is that professional and that focused on doing a good job... really responsible.
He's really sharp and I find him to be an extremely observant person. He watches people and he listens to people, and he likes actors. He likes working with actors. He likes his crew, and so he creates an atmosphere on his set that is really conducive to our creativity - and the crew's, as well.
I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity.
Do something good for yourself today. You matter.
I really didn't like Batgirl. I was like, "No, if I'm not gonna be Batman, I'm not gonna play." Maybe they could write an evil female super villain who takes over Batman, and nobody knows.
You know, we’re not on stage, we’re not doing a play, so we don’t have a relationship with the audience but going through that process and also just hearing how much people love the film, you feel like you do have a relationship with the audience.
It would be good if you opened your heart to the fullness of time and spirit.
Our audience is all the girls who made Britney a huge star. Those are the girls who bought the book. I didn't read the book at first. I read the script just to see what I would think of the script and I really liked it.
The actor side of me loves to get dressed up and I feel like Cinderella when I'm in diamonds.
