“Knowledge and wonder are the dyad of our worthy lives as intellectual beings. Voyager did wonders for our knowledge, but performed just as mightily in the service of wonder and the two elements are complementary, not independent or opposed. The thought fills me with awe - a mechanical contraption that could fit in the back of a pickup truck, traveling through space for twelve years, dodging around four giant bodies and their associated moons, and finally sending exquisite photos across more than four light-hours of space from the farthest planet in our solar system.” YearsTwoBodyLightHoursSpaceWonderFourPlanetsFitMoonElementsIntellectualIndependentWorthyGiantsAweTwelveTruckExquisiteSolar SystemComplementaryPickupsPickup Trucks Author:Stephen Jay Gould
“I do like working on independent films where it is a smaller budget and less pressure. The pace is also quicker than that of a big budget film. You are shooting at a fairly fast pace. Sitting around for three or four days can be quite draining. So I guess in terms of film or television, I would say filming an independent feature.” BigsFilmThreeTermFourTelevisionSittingPressureIndependentShootingBudgetsFeaturesPaceSitting AroundIndependent FilmDraining Author:Colm Meaney

“Everybody thinks an automobile needs an engine. Well, an automobile doesn't necessarily need an engine.

“At the end of the day, it's all one version of telling a story. I treated this as if it was a two million dollar independent film. I did a lot more physical work than I'd probably have to do for a two million dollar independent film with four months of training and stuff. But as far as the character's psychology or emotional life goes, I treat it just the same.” IfsTwoEndsCharacterStoriesFilmStuffMillionsPsychologyFourEmotionalMonthsTrainingTreatsIndependentDollarsTreatedVersionsThe End Of The DayMillion DollarsIndependent FilmEmotional Life Author:Colin Farrell
“I've done a lot of independent film, which are short shoots that are usually four to six weeks, max. I enjoy everything.
