“Since stepping down as laboratory director in 1999, I have devoted an increasing fraction of my time to international issues.

“At a time when the threat of nuclear arms is again increasing, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to underline that this threat must be met through the broadest possible international cooperation. This principle finds its clearest expression today in the work of the IAEA and its Director General. In the nuclear non-proliferation regime, it is the IAEA which ensures that nuclear energy is not misused for military purposes, and the Director General has stood out as an unafraid advocate of new measures to strengthen that regime.” TodayPurposeEnergyWishPrinciplesMilitaryExpressionArmsMetsDirectorsThreatInternationalNuclearCooperationRegimesCommitteesNobelProliferationUnafraidMisusedNorwegiansNuclear EnergyNuclear ArmsInternational Cooperation Author:Mohamed ElBaradei
“There is a sort of creative purity in an independent film, in the passion of the director, the passion of the crew. They're not getting a whole lot of money, so you know they are not there because they want to get rich. Instead, they are there because they want to make a movie. In the bigger films, I remember when I used to do those, it's just a job for a lot of people, so there is less of an intense energy devoted to the whole project.” PeopleKnowsWantWholeJobsRememberFilmUsedPassionEnergyCreativeRichDirectorsProjectsBiggerIndependentIntensePurityDevotedLots Of MoneyCrewRemember WhenGet RichIndependent FilmPassion And Purity Author:Amy Irving
“The director is the captain of the ship, without question. No matter what their talent or energy level is, everyone on the crew has all eyes on the captain. If they come in going, "I don't know.

“I think that for a lot of actors - especially American actors - to get line readings and to be told and have your director literally act out the part for you is sort of discouraging in a way. It's a very Eastern European thing to do - a lot of directors that I worked with in Russia did that as well. And, I never took that as an insult, as many actors tend to do. To me, I think it's just offering a certain energy - offering their flavor - and, instead of trying to sort of decode and communicate it to you, they just show you their flavor of what it should be.” ThinkingWayShouldTryingWellsShowsCertainReadingActorsEnergyLinesDirectorsCommunicateRussiaThings To DoInsultOfferingFlavorEasternDiscouraging Author:Jon Bernthal

“When you have your chance to make a film, don't focus on pleasing everyone. I think the goal is to live in that sweet spot where you focus on making a good film and you have fun with your collaborators, but you don't waste your energy chasing approval every which way. When you have a vision and a good story and you've managed to raise funding, it is your approval as a director that everyone should be seeking.

“Actors are like kids, they need to play a little bit. And that's the nature of their job, they need to shake off some energy and then you as the director get them back on track.
