“Acting is something that I always wanted, but I never paid attention to the notion that it might actually work out.

“There has been a good deal of comment — some of it quite outlandish — about what our postwar requirements might be in Iraq. Some of the higher end predictions we have been hearing recently, such as the notion that it will take several hundred thousand U.S. troops to provide stability in post- Iraq, are wildly off the mark. It is hard to conceive that it would take more forces to provide stability in post-Saddam Iraq than it would take to conduct the war itself and to secure the surrender of Saddam's security forces and his army — hard to imagine.” Has BeensWarEndsHardMightForceDealsImagineSecurityHigherThousandHundredMarkArmyNotionIraqHearingSurrenderSecurePostsCommentStabilityTroopsRequirementsPredictionsSaddamOutlandishSecurity Forces Author:Paul Wolfowitz

“Any advice I could give to female directors would be the same as for males: There will be endless difficulties, some seemingly defeating, on your way. That's a given. Just wipe out the very notion of stress. Concentrate on your actors. Obsess about your story and the world it is anchored in. Deal with the hundreds of down-to-earth issues [around] the existence of your film. At some point, everything will be ripe.
