I've done four other films since 'Submarine ' so that's quite cool. It's just good to have people respect your work I've never had that before. Yeah my life has changed crazy. I'm a kid from a small town in south Wales I play my Xbox usually and all that sort of stuff and it's a whole new world.
When you go in and do a cool small character it feels less like work and more like fun.
I wanted to escape Small Town U.S.A. To dismiss the boundaries to explore. My life experience came from watching movies TV and reading books and magazines. When your culture comes from watching TV everyday you're bombarded with images of things that seem cool places that seem interesting people who have jobs and careers and opportunities.
One of the things that is not so good is that a decision was made long ago about the size of an IP address - 32 bits. At the time it was a number much larger than anyone could imagine ever having that many computers but it turned out to be to small.
I have a crazy amount of different jobs so the way I manage that is to not do more than one at a time. It's like old computers that had small memory chips they would do something called swapping where they would fill the memory with one task do it and get it out.
Measured in time of transport and communication the whole round globe is now smaller than a small European country was a hundred years ago.
The thing I've come to learn is that what's great about small independent films is the intimacy and the communication that occurs when you're making them.
Any problem big or small within a family always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening.
Sometimes when we are generous in small barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever.
I think most artists would be happy to have bigger audiences rather than smaller ones. It doesn't mean that they are going to change their work in order necessarily to get it but they're happy if they do get it.
Successful people recognize crisis as a time for change - from lesser to greater smaller to bigger.
A conception not reducible to the small change of daily experience is like a currency not exchangeable for articles of consumption it is not a symbol but a fraud.
That sort of half sigh which accompanied by two or three slight nods of the head is pity's small change in general society.
Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change and to see you're only very small and life flows on within you and without you.
Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself but each of us can work to change a small portion of events and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world indeed it's the only thing that ever has.
The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.
A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has.
I mostly drive around in a Fiat 500 TwinAir and that's a pretty small car!
Is there some risk every day we walk out our front door? Every time we get in our car? Yeah. Are we materially less safe now than we were 10 years ago? Whatever delta there is it's very small.
Consider the perverse effect cap and trade has on altruistic actions. Say you decide to buy a small high-efficiency car. That reduces your emissions but not your country's. Instead it allows somebody else to buy a bigger S.U.V. - because the total emissions are set by the cap.
I lived in small town out in the desert and my friend used to steal his mom's car in the middle of the night. He'd drive over to my house I'd sneak out and we'd go out to the desert and just burn things down.
We talked about many issues like welfare is it the way of life or hand up? Talked about size of government how much should it tax families and small businesses? And when we left that lunch we got in the car and I looked over at Chuck and said 'I'll be damned. we're Republicans.'
