“[Because of Haiti's economic and political turmoil, the supposed 40,000 practicing artists suffer from a lack of exposure for their work and a loss of revenue.] The artists in Haiti support themselves as a peddler would here, selling their works on the street, ... I always thought that the high-quality artists should be seen up here. And it just seemed like this was the right time.”
Charles Marks
“I've never made any picture, good or bad, without paying for it in emotional turmoil.”
W. Eugene Smith
“I loved the dialogue-free sequence when Anakin and Padmé are staring out over Coruscant , ... Anakin is in turmoil about what to do -- obey Master Windu and stay at the temple or go to stop them from killing Palpatine, his only chance of saving his love. That reminded me of what I think is the most powerful Star Wars scene of all, when in Empire Leia and Han stare at each other desperately as Han is lowered into the carbonite chamber. Nothing can be more desperate and emotion-stirring than when the person you love most in the world is in peril. Everyone can relate to that.”
Mark Hamilton
“[So if it feels like you can't escape the technological turmoil, get used to the feeling.] We're just seeing the beginnings of this right now, ... We are very, very early in the e-commerce market.”
Michael Putnam
“It just shows you that after all the turmoil we've been through, we are starting to pick it up, and we're almost to the point where we were last year. It just shows a lot about the character of this team. We didn't get to the point where we are giving up or the people upstairs are trying to disassemble this team. We believe that this is a pretty good team.”
Antawn Jamison
“I went through a lot of turmoil this year and it couldn't been better than to end the year like this. I would have like to win the championship for J. D., but we did win eight races and had a good year so mission accomplished.”
John Moore
“Friday's turmoil in global markets looks set to continue to exert a dominant force on the foreign exchange markets. The usual trend when U.S. stocks fall is that the U.S. dollar suffers.”
