We don't take a macro view... We'd look at every company to figure out if trade sanctions are helpful or hurtful.
If you just focus on the smallest details, you never get the big picture right.
Details create the big picture.
To be an actor, you have to be self-obsessed, but when you are a filmmaker, you get a macro view. Every aspect of making the film is under your purview. And for me, that is a bigger turn-on than just being an actress.
Don't worry about the specifics [of budgets]. Worry about the aggregate.
In life, you always look at the total picture, not just a segment of it.
I'm good at the broad strokes but hopeless at the details.
Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.
Sometimes you need to be aware of the bigger picture you are missing.
One sees great things from the valley; only small things from the peak.
Systems are to be appreciated by their general effects, and not by particular exceptions.
I get very caught up in the day-to-day and immersed in the scenes as they unfold. It's harder for me, as I'm filming, to see the larger story.
I look at everything from 100,000 feet.
I think writers need windows on a view to remind them that a whole world is out there, not the minutiae with which they might be dealing on a close scale.
Artists are neurotic and hypersensitive, and they tend to focus on granular details, sometimes at the expense of the big picture. I've gotten better at the big picture over the years.
Once you get the right image the details aren't that important.
