“Making this movie as a period piece about a period that was very recent in people's minds. I was in Taiwan [during the 1970s], so I hope I did all right. Otherwise, it could be the biggest embarrassment of my life. Also, the story is not linear, it's patchy, like a cubist painting, and there is always the possibility it will not hold together, it will fall apart. The tone is part satire, part serious drama, part tragedy, all mixed together, and it has to hit an emotional core. That's also very scary.” PeopleMindStoriesTogetherFallPiecesPossibilityEmotionalPaintingSeriousPeriodsDramaTragedyScaryCoreToneSatireFalling ApartEmbarrassmentLinearTaiwan Author:Ang Lee
“There are periods where you think, "What am I doing?" or "What am I doing it for?"; that's a more scary question.

“Value investing strategies have worked for years and everyone's known about them. They continue to work because it's hard for people to do, for two main reasons. First, the companies that show up on the screens can be scary and not doing so well, so people find them difficult to buy. Second, there can be one-, two- or three-year periods when a strategy like this doesn't work. Most people aren't capable of sticking it out through that.” PeopleYearsFirstsWellsTwoHardReasonShowsValuesThreeDifficultCompanyKnownPeriodsCapableStrategyInvestingScaryScreensThree YearsSticking It Author:Joel Greenblatt
“A period romance film with elements of horror. That was successful, because I feel like Coppola's DRACULA was one or the other. You know? It was never scary it was never a film he got invested in the romance of the characters. He understood it, but he never got invested. So it as a challenge for me to see if I could do that, I still don't know how audiences will sort of react to that.” IfsKnowsFeelsStillsCharacterFilmRomanceChallengesAudienceKnow HowSuccessfulPeriodsHorrorElementsUnderstoodScaryIf I Could Author:Cary Fukunaga
“It's a scary question for a musician or songwriter today - what does the future hold?
