Different people have different styles but there is an opportunity as a director to be a writer in every moment with every visual cue and every piece of production design. Everything is a decision and everything can be obsessed over.

The wisdom of crowds works when the crowd is choosing the price of an ox when there's a single numeric average. But if it's a design or something that matters the decision is made by committee and that's crap. You want people and groups who are able to think thoughts before they share.

When I come to a design decision people know that is that.

I approve designs not because I think I am more gifted or somebody who can see ahead three or four years from now but just to make sure that the design is a logical rational decision taken after analyzing pros and cons.

I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.

I am politically pro-choice but personally pro-life. I have my faith but refuse to force it on the world at large - especially this world so brutal and unjust. I cannot make these wrenching personal life and death decisions for others - nor do I believe they should be made by a church run by childless men.

I wasn't sure how my dad would react. There was an agent sitting behind them and he told me he was embarrassed to watch the scenes. My parents have always been very open. They trust my decisions.

My dad has always been extremely supportive in every decision I've made and much more interested in me picking what I wanted to do.

My dad told us up front 'Guys if you want to play sports go ahead but it's your decision.'

It's not like he called me up and asked me. They've never wanted to throw us into that world and I think our decision probably shocked them. But I love my dad and I think I'd regret it if I didn't do this.

My dad always tell me to make decisions from love and not from fear.

When my mom ran for the Senate my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice 'Why should women have any less say than men about the great decisions facing our nation?'

I'm a fun father but not a good father. The hard decisions always went to my wife.

I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.

Leadership requires the courage to make decisions that will benefit the next generation.

Such decisions will be far reaching and difficult. But you never lacked courage in the past. Your courage is now needed for the future.

But we got up there and decided to stick to this mix of power chords and funk and that's where it really started for us. In having the courage to take that decision. To take a gamble not just with our music but our lives.
