“I am co-writing a screenplay now and I'm working on the rights to another story I want to do. So I plan to produce and direct.

“It's disheartening that animal people criticize societies that enlist the help of actors or organize creative acts like 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur,' to increase public awareness to our cause. These are great/courageous ideas which time has come! Liberation of animals is REVOLUTION - not elegant performance/ intellectual competition. We should do most anything to advance the animal rights cause. All the bickering may make the one step forward...

“Norms appearing in the form of law entitle actors to exercise their rights or liberties. However, one cannot determine which of these laws are legitimate simply by looking at the form of individual rights. Only by bringing in the discourse principle can one show that each person is owed a right to the greatest possible measure of equal liberties that are mutually compatible.” PersonsShowsFormLawActorsIndividualLibertyPrinciplesRightsExerciseEqualDetermineDiscourseNormAppearingCompatibleIndividual Rights Author:Jurgen Habermas
“The syndicates take the strip and sell it to newspapers and split the income with the cartoonists. Syndicates are essentially agents. Now, can you imagine a novelist giving his literary agent the ownership of his characters and all reprint, television, and movie rights before the agent takes the manuscript to a publisher? Obviously, an author would have to be a raving lunatic to agree to such a deal, but virtually every cartoonist does exactly that when a syndicate demands ownership before agreeing to sell the strip to newspapers.” GivingDoeCharacterActorsDealsRightsImagineTelevisionDemandAgreeSellsNewspapersIncomeAgentsNovelistsMovieSplitsOwnershipPublishersLunaticManuscriptsCartoonistSyndicateLiterary Agents Author:Bill Watterson
“The heartbreak that it might not happen wasn't something that I wanted to face with any more weight. Then, when I got the call to go ahead I never thought for a second as I was approaching it who I would get - that would come later. Again, I think the idea was that I now had the rights to make the movie and I can start writing it but if I have to wait another 10 years before I find an actor that's right for it, I'd be very happy to do that.” IfsThinkingWritingYearsHeartI CanIdeasMightHappensWantedFacesActorsWaitingRightsWeightVery Happy Author:Sean Penn
