If your project has real substance, ultimately the money will follow you like a common cur in the street with its tail between its legs.
I choose a project based on whether it feels worthwhile working on when it comes to me. But secondly I choose it if it sounds like fun. Projects are determined by just how they strike me at the moment, as they have done throughout my whole life.
It's not the style that motivates me, as much as an attitude of openness that I have when I go into a project.
If the script is not so good and it is a great director you're more likely to do it. But generally speaking, my passion for a project starts or stops with the quality of the script.
Software projects fail for one of two general reasons: the project team lacks the knowledge to conduct a software project successfully, or the project team lacks the resolve to conduct a project effectively.
I'm not in a hurry to do a lot of projects. I am very resolved in each project I take on.
It's not reckless, because when we leap, when we dive in, when we begin, only begin, we bring our true nature to the project, we make it personal and urgent. And it's not abandon, not in the sense that we've abandoned our senses or our responsibility. In fact, abandoning the fear of fear that is holding us back is the single best way not to abandon the work, the pure execution of the work. Later, there's time to backpedal and water down. But right now, reckless please.
If you believe in the project, you have to support it.
You’ve never reacted to someone else. You project meaning onto nothing. And you react to the meaning you’ve projected
We have each had the experience of others reacting to us; often there seems to be no logic to it. But in fact, people do pick up on our subtle energy, and even if they can't see it or put it into words, they feel it and, subliminally, they know. They vote yes, no or maybe according to the qualities and strength of the energy we project.
To create a comedy major, I ended up starting a comedy night in the basement of my dorm, and I promoted and produced my final project, which meant I faxed press releases from an old Apple IIC, or whatever it was, to newspapers, not knowing if that would work or if that's how you do things.
I think there's a part of us that would like to use the fact that we're married, but you don't want the idea that we're married to overshadow the project itself. We're just looking for something that's so specific and good that it becomes a part of the story of why we did it rather than when we go to do press it's, 'Oh, my God, you're married and that's the only thing we want to talk about. ' If we can merge both, that could be great.
It's true, there aren't many explicit references to Canada in my book. And not many explicit references to the U. S. , either. I try to fill my poems with enough real, observed detail that the poems create a believable world - but I don't write poems for the sake of telling my own story. My life is not important or interesting enough to warrant that kind of documentary. Instead I try to use my experience as a way of understanding situations that are common to many people. I want readers to project their own lives onto my poems.
Whenever you do an animated project or a voice-over project it's inevitable that part of your personality comes into play.
After you finish the first 90% of a project, you have to finish the other 90%.
It's amazing how much resilience you can have when you're passionate about a project that you're doing.
With each project, whether it's an album or a mixtape, I try to learn more in the process.
The Christian sees the world as a transitional home badly in need of rehab, and we are active agents in that project.
In high school, I had a teacher there who was really great to me and with whom I finally dared to admit I wanted to be a writer myself, and we did a project where I wrote terrible, 17-year-old fiction. But I remember a couple of the stories. I'd love it if I could read with pride something that I wrote that long ago, but it hasn't happened yet.
Many schools include a service project as part of their curriculum, and many corporations have in-house projects for their employees or give them time off to do volunteer work.
