Approach every film with the same enthusiasm, regardless of its budget.
I support responsible spending, and balancing the budget, but this tax cut and the budget cuts of last month accomplish neither of these goals.
The American people deserve a budget that invests in the future, protects the most vulnerable among us and helps to create jobs and economic security
Some folks serve the almighty dollar far more faithfully than the Almighty God. They get greater delight out of balancing the budget than watching the Lord multiply the loaves and fishes.
I know what I'm talking about and I've never been over budget, in 70 films.
What the American family does not want is to pay an increasing fraction of their budget, their precious dollars, for energy costs.
We just watched this budget debacle right? Seventy-three percent of Americans want to tax the rich. Why can't the politicians respond to that? Because they are the rich. And they are beholden to the rich. It's a captured system.
The Trump International is way under budget and way ahead of schedule. And we should be able to do that for our country.
Those who analogize the federal budget to a family's budget must know nothing about either.
I balanced the budget for four straight years, paid off $405 billion in debt - pretty conservative. The first entitlement reform of your lifetime - in fact, the only major entitlement reform now is welfare.
I love films that are made with almost no budget.
Even in these tough economic times, Barack [Obama] has left the VA budget as is so that they're prepared to deal with this influx of men and women who are coming home and dealing with a whole array of issues, not just around mental health but just caregiving and the stresses of reconnecting with families who have been away from each other for a very long time.
We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule.

There was a Twilight Zone episode like this in which scientists fake an alien threat in order to achieve world peace. Well, this time, we don't need it, we need it in order to get some fiscal stimulus.
We have to respond to budget concerns, we have to respond to functional and programmatic concerns of the building, and we have to respond to public engagement. That's what you sign up for when you decide to become an architect.
Some of my favorite movies are just movies that are just good stories, and aren't necessarily big budget movies or anything.
Hillary Clinton is going to find common ground with the Republicans on foreign and military affairs. They both want to enhance the military budget.
I'll give you a simple formula for straightening out the problems of the United States. First, you tax the churches. You take the tax off of capital gains and the tax off of savings. You decriminalize all and tax them same way as you do alcohol. You decriminalize. You make gambling legal. That will put the budget back on the road to recovery, and you'll have plenty of tax revenue coming in for all of your social programs, and to run the army.
If you learn to budget your time correctly, you will have time for all your needs.
But one of the rules I don't like to break is we still do - 95% of our movies are low budget. We're offered bigger, larger budget movies to produce a lot, and we don't do them. That's not to say there aren't exceptions, there are a few exceptions, but I try and stick by the rules that produce what I think is the highest quality, most innovative work and try and let the rules go that make us feel like we're retreading.
