The world is sick of big IT things that don't work.

I think we're lucky because there are very few people in life who get to do what we're doing.

I make a movie because it's something that inspires me.

All my movies, like Revenge, are under two hours.

Out of the total of 11 movies, I got slammed.

We come from a tough, working class background, so we're very tight.

The world is sick of big IT things that don't work.

We don't ever want IT to be the thing that holds GM back.

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.

GM is a highly collaborative organization; we rely on a whole tier of suppliers for everything that we do.

I have a short attention span.

I thought that subtitles are boring because they're there generally to serve us with information to make you understand what people are saying in a different language.

Ridley and I talk every day. Our family is very close because we're from North England.

There's one great script that hit my desk that I didn't change at all, and that was True Romance.

A lot of actors talk about doing their homework, but very few of them do it.

Dad never understood why Ridley wanted to go to art school, and then I came along six years later and wanted to do the same thing.

Dad was a very gentle, sweet man.

Dad was a very gentle, sweet man. Mum was the matriarch and the patriarch of the family. She ran the roost with a steel fist, but at the same time there was respect and love for her.

I like changing the pace of my life, changing my discipline. It gives me ideas for how to see the world differently.

I'm a plagiarist - I always look back at other movies, and I steal, but I steal well, and I reinvent.

If you look at my body of work, there's always a dark side to my characters. They've always got a skeleton in the closet; they've always got a subtext.

Mum was the matriarch and the patriarch of the family.

The biggest edge I live on is directing. That's the most scary, dangerous thing you can do in your life.

The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It's the fear of failing, the loss of face, and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through.

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.

We had a brilliant upbringing, and we never wanted for anything, even though we went through highs and lows of finances.

What always leads me in terms of my movies are characters.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.

This is God's work. Therefore it must be triumphant. There is no place for misgiving or despondency.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

I am not stopped by low funds, physical exhaustion, mental exhaustion, or temptations to stop and work on some other production that would be more financially rewarding.

The artist need not know very much; best of all let him work instinctively and paint as naturally as he breathes or walks.

Corporate partners help UNICEF fund our programmes for children, advocate with us on their behalf, or facilitate our work through logistical, technical, research or supply support.

The productivity of work is not the responsibility of the worker but of the manager.

The kinds of shows that seem to work now, the comedy shows, are those which require very little attention. They're superficial and I like articulate comedy.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

What an artist learns matters little. What he himself discovers has a real worth for him, and gives him the necessary incitement to work.

I work to stay alive.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

Some people don't like competition because it makes them work harder, better.

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

Style is as much under the words as in the words. It is as much the soul as it is the flesh of a work.

Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that.

I am always successful in my work.

Then I decided I couldn't just crawl in the corner and die, so I started putting pen to paper and wrote some songs. I had no idea what for or who I was going to work with. I tried to find my way and direction.

Much of my work has come from being lazy.
