The more independent mind you have the more your government will hate you! It is an honour for you to be hated this way!
It is much harder to become independent if you are wealthy than to become wealthy if you are independent.
I am a hybrid. I do independent films and also do Hollywood films - I love them both.
I mean, I like to think of myself as being strong and independent, but I definitely wasn't like that at 14
TAIL, n. The part of an animal's spine that has transcended its natural limitations to set up an independent existence in a world of its own.
I have an only child. She's so independent and good with adults.
In London, there must be thousands of people in the business of making films, whereas in Nottingham or Sheffield, you're probably talking about below a hundred. So there aren't thousands of people scrapping for the same money and for the same jobs. I went out in Nottingham the other night and there's a really beautiful community of people who are really supportive. It's not this back-stabbing thing, high-rent, high-cost, high-tension. Up here we are independent filmmakers and there's a lovely sense of camaraderie.
Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them.
Men were considered "free" only so that they might be considered guilty - could be judged and punished: consequently, every act had to be considered as willed, and the origin of every act had to be considered as lying within the consciousness (and thus the most fundamental psychological deception was made the principle of psychology itself).
No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power. . . . The time has come to consider how we might bring about a separation, as complete as possible, between Science and Government in all countries. I call this the disestablishment of science, in the same sense in which the churches have been disestablished and have become independent of the state.
In a sense the physical connectedness that you feel with your children as a mother changes as they become independent.
In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.
The first time I took acid, I made the decision that I would stay in New York and find an independent film company to get a job with.
For new bands, I think a major label is the safest place to be. Independent labels are the ones getting away with murder. A lot of them are hobbyists who rip-off young bands, taking advantage of people who would never get signed to a major.
Natural death is independent of all reason and is really an irrational death, in which the pitiable substance of the shell determines how long the kernel is to exist or not; in which, accordingly, the stunted, diseased and dull witted jailer is lord, and indicates the moment at which his distinguished prisoner shall die.
Freezing of accounts will not make any difference for Al-Qa'idah or other jihad groups. With the grace of Allah, al-Qa'idah has more than three such alternative financial systems, which are all separate and totally independent from each other. This system is operating under the patronage of those who love jihad. What to say of the United States, even the combined world cannot budge these people from their path.
There is no hope for the world unless and until we formulate, accept and state publicly a true moral code of individualism, based on man's inalienable right to live for himself. Neither to hurt nor to serve his brothers, but to be independent of them in his function and in his motive. Neither to sacrifice them for himself nor to sacrifice himself for them.
My first record deal was an independent record deal back in 1995 or early 1996.
My mum Mary was always a bright, confident and fiercely independent lady.
I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.
