“Ten years ago I was not heavily involved in the film world but on reflection it was a boom time with the mineral boom happening, so there was immense growth for industrial training films, documentaries to do with the mining, and the outback world.” WorldYearsFilmGrowthInvolvedTenTrainingHappeningsReflectionYears AgoImmenseDocumentariesMineralsMining Author:Ann Macbeth
“In Texas, years ago, almost all of the oil came from surface operations. Then someone got the idea that there were greater sources of supply deeper down. A well was drilled five thousand feet deep. The result? A gusher. Too many of us operate on the surface. We never go deep enough to find supernatural resources. The result is, we never operate at our best. More time and investment is involved to go deep but a gusher will pay off.” YearsWellsIdeasEnoughTimeResultsPayFiveGreaterFeetSourceInvolvedThousandResourcesYears AgoInvestmentDeeperSurfaceOilOperationsMore TimeTexasNatural Resources Author:Alfred Armand Montapert
“Twenty-one years ago, when I first heard Mia Farrow had accused me of child molestation, I found the idea so ludicrous I didn't give it a second thought. We were involved in a terribly acrimonious breakup, with great enmity between us and a custody battle slowly gathering energy. The self-serving transparency of her malevolence seemed so obvious I didn't even hire a lawyer to defend myself. It was my show business attorney who told me she was bringing the accusation to the police and I would need a criminal lawyer.” NeedsGivingYearsFirstsChildrenIdeasSelfShowsFoundEnergyHeardInvolvedBattleYears AgoTwentiesPoliceObviousCriminalsLawyerBreakupServingGatheringShow BusinessAccusedTransparencyAttorneyTwenty OneAccusationEnmitySelf ServingSecond ThoughtsCustodyMiaCriminal LawMalevolenceMolestation Author:Woody Allen
“Well, I think that's been my career. I always choose stuff that's the same, yet different. These projects just happened. I didn't plan it out that way. I just happened to be free, and the director, Dan Pritzker, decided to do his film again. I say again because we did it seven years ago. A lot of the actors were not available, so he just couldn't wait anymore and he recast everything. Me and two other characters are the only people involved with the new one, who were involved with the previous one.” PeopleThinkingWayYearsWellsTwoDifferentCharacterFilmActorsStuffWaitingCareersPlansHappenedInvolvedDirectorsProjectsYears AgoDecidedSevenAvailableSeven Years Author:Michael Rooker

“I remember talking to, 40 years ago, one of the leading people in the government who was involved in arms control, pressing for arms control measures, détente, and so on. He's very high up, and we were talking about whether arms control could succeed. And only partially as a joke he said, "Well it might succeed if the high tech industry makes more profit from arms control than it can make from weapons-related research and production. If we get to that tipping point maybe arms control will work." He was partially joking but there's a truth that lies behind it.” PeopleIfsYearsWellsSaidGovernmentMightRememberLyingBehindsTalkingArmsIndustryInvolvedSucceedWeaponsJokesResearchYears AgoProfitProductionsRelatedTippingTipping Point Author:Noam Chomsky
