Your own barometer is all you have to go by, and OFTEN what MAKES a GOOD director is knowing when not to say SOMETHING. On occasions you can find yourself on a film set where the person who is wearing the director's hat is only trying to justify his position.

Our people know that if they are SICK, we will take CARE of them. If there are OCCASIONS of GRIEF or JOY, we will be there with them. They know that we value them as people, not just cogs in a machine.

I've certainly had a bad attitude to my JOB on many OCCASIONS. Not since 'Four Weddings and a FUNERAL'. I've been rather a good BOY and really given it EVERYTHING when I've accepted a part since then, because I've been given much better parts in films.

If you want to give a tangible present, but you know the recipient wants cash, give a LITTLE bit of both. This strategy is helpful for OCCASIONS that involve a PUBLIC opening of PRESENTS, like a bridal or baby SHOWER. You can give something that can be wrapped and opened, along with a card containing a check.

Now Speaker Gingrich says interesting and insightful things. He can explain them well. On many OCCASIONS he also says outrageous things that come from nowhere and he has a TENDENCY to say them at exactly the TIME when they most undermine the CONSERVATIVE agenda.

I THINK my SIGNATURE DANCE move might be some sort of '80s new WAVE pogo, which I only break out on very special occasions. It will only last for about three SECONDS. Then I go back to a very subtle, less-is-more approach.

A black suit can be classic and timeless and certainly for most OCCASIONS. But remember, it's not so MUCH the color of suit as it is about the fit, CUT, style, and, of course, attitude you have when wearing it.

I try to SAVE being ANGRY for the really important moments - for SPECIAL OCCASIONS.

I WISH we did have RESPONSIBILITY for the HAIR. I have been screwed up by the hair on MANY occasions.

Sometimes the PRODUCER has more SAY and the director TAKES what he is given. On other occasions, you don't see the producer very MUCH and the director is the one who it is all about.

In the PAST I've thrown my wicket AWAY on CERTAIN OCCASIONS.

We sing these songs for the EVERYDAY OCCASIONS of life, and they are very close to the HEARTS of our people.
