You really don't get paid in these independent movies, no matter how many people see them.

As a political independent, I would gladly vote for any political party dedicated to limited government and entrepreneurship.
Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.
I do know that Syria never will recognize Lebanon as an independent country, and the declaration of independence of Lebanon took place in 1943. Syria never - Syria never have recognized Lebanon. They regard Lebanon as part of Syria.

I was making a lot of independent movies before the independent movement.
My parents had us very young. We lived in a modest house. We built forts, we hiked, we went camping and they wanted us to be independent. It's how children grew up in the 1940s and 50s: outside all the time, playing in the dirt, riding your bike around.
It is easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing, that's the Lord's test.
