Let principles make decisions.
There is no corporation in the world that would, in a competitive environment, try and concentrate all decisions at the corporate level.
In life, the hardest decisions often have to be made more than once. But each time, it gets easier.
In beef trade issues, we base our decisions upon science.
I will be as careful as I can in making the most significant decisions any president and commander-in-chief can make about sending our men and women into harm's way.
I've always been curious what the negotiation is because obviously there's certain movies that every film wants a trailer on, like Star Wars, and I don't know how Disney makes the decisions as to what it does and doesn't put on there. I'm assuming that whatever movies are the same studio as the film get first priority, but then everybody else is fighting for the remaining spots.
I ignore my fear. When I make decisions, I pretend it doesn't exist.
It's getting harder to make decisions to work for the sake of working. Like everybody, I'm trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply. Sometimes something like The Tourist comes up and it's just fun, but it's not as easy to find projects that I have to do. I have to be home and I have to do other things, but I don't have to work as much.
I think that there is something beautiful about mortality. It makes our decisions mean more.
Like most Americans, I feel disgusted when we see people make decisions based on party politics rather than a solution that is best for the country.
I'm asked, what about criminal prosecution of those on wall street? You know what, it's probably because none of them committed any crimes. They just made some incredibly bad decisions.
The one thing about program television that's absolutely incompatible with any concept of art is that all decisions have to be made by program directors, whereas art is autonomous. It may be dependent, but it knows no superiors.
It's funny; I actually made poorer decisions when I sobered up then when I was screwed up.
Thirty to 40 years ago, most financial decisions were fairly simple.
The 911 Commission strongly recommends that the National Intelligence Director be fully in control of the budget, from developing it to implementing it, to ensuring that the National Intelligence Director has the clout to make decisions.
Life's full of opportunities to make crappy decisions that feel good. And after the first one, the rest get a whole lot easier.
With more money brings more fear and when you're trying to be creative in a fear-based environment it's dangerous. Then decisions are made out of fear, not what's best for the film.
When you know your reason for existence, it should effect the decisions you make.
For many years I was trying to find answers only through books but then I realized that basically, life is about experience and the thing that you have to do is experience life instead of only reading about it. Reading is very important, but it's not enough. After reading, you have to take some decisions in your hands and move forward and be the human being that you are, and then going and meeting people and work.
You wouldn't see those sorts of decisions given in village cricket, let alone Test cricket. The England players have my sympathy.
