I've always said to people that auteurism is nice, but it's hypothetical, and gradually you learn how much or how little influence different directors had.
You know, I've taught philosophy for years and one argues in the hypothetical all the time.
Belief in God is an elementary form of selflessness - the acknowledgement of responsibility toward a hypothetical 'Other'.
I often use hypothetical situations to generate information and imagery for paintings and to create a fictional space where a subject can be put into play.
I will not discuss future hypothetical situations.
Americans tend to endorse the use of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia when the question is abstract and hypothetical.
Sometimes I make very selfish choices; like I did 'Once Upon A Time' for my inner 8-year-old and my hypothetical future child. I've done some movies because I would regret them if I didn't, but other projects I've done because they've scared me or if I felt I needed to do a big romantic comedy to help me professionally.
