I think of making love and making art as being very parallel. Even the most amateur attempt can be thrilling.
Making an Irishness to be proud of in a real Republic. It is the vision of a real Republic where life and language, where ideals and experience have the ring of authenticity which we need now as we go forward.
Your thoughts are making you.
Success is not how many zeroes your bank account has. It's about making the most of the life you have.
I'm making the art for me first. I'm making it because these are the pictures I want to see. I'm making pictures that don't yet exist.
Sometimes I am more interested in the richness of the material with all the stuff we've done which all tell a story to me rather than any single film career I could have, because I really do find myself interested in other people's ideas. I just want to be responsible with an array of things that engage me and feel vital, opposed to the corporate media out there that is just about making the loudest noises possible.
I've always worked with a team of actors and filmmakers ever since I was a kid in Michigan making Super-8 movies.
I've just been told that Nestle has taken out patents on the making of pullao. (Pullao is the way we make our rice in India, with either vegetables or meat or whatever. ) Before you know it, every common use of plants will be patented by a Western corporation.
I've spent every game I've ever played making sure I'm out-working the other guy.
When the juices of trees have no means of escape, they clot and rot in them, making the trees hollow and good for nothing.
What is natural does not have to be a representation of something. I'm now working on a thing that is a reconstruction of a starry sky, and yet I'm making it without a given from nature. Someone who says he uses a theme from nature can be right, but also someone who says he uses nothing at all.
In the 2000s, I became an artist. I started preserving and educating. I became more obsessed with making iPod playlists for people.
Making others happy, through kindness of speech and sincerity of right advice, is a sign of true greatness. To hurt another soul by sarcastic words, looks, or suggestions, is despicable.
Overhead the sanctities of the stars shine forever-more. . . pouring satire on the pompous business of the day which they close, and making the generations of men show slight and evanescent.
I like making movies.
Sometimes I think if I had to choose between an ear of corn or making love to a woman, I'd choose the corn.
I believe in signs. . . . what we need to learn is always there before us, we just have to look around us with respect & attention to discover where God is leading us and which step we should take. When we are on the right path, we follow the signs, and if we occasionally stumble, the Divine comes to our aid, preventing us from making mistakes.
There is more value in placing a flower in a rifle barrel than making war. As Jimi Hendrix used to say, musical notes have more importance than bullets.
I'm a lucky guy and I'm happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary.
When I'm making a movie, it's making use of my creative juices, and it fills me up with what really is - I think my purpose here is to tell stories.
