I think Shirley took it as a challenge and therefore was excited by it, because I think that's what makes her life exciting,

When you're dealing with someone like Shirley, it's a little insulting to ask her to come in for a meeting. But I wanted to meet her first and talk to her about the character, because there was a very big 'if' on it for me. Shirley is such a powerful presence, personality and talent, and she has used that power effectively over a long and rich career. But I wanted to know she would be able to put a damper on all of that and go to a very quiet place to play this character who is literally hiding from life, who has put a lid on everything because of her guilt, her fear and her unresolved issues. If Shirley could go to that kind of a place, and then blossom as her character's life broadens, I thought it would be very exciting.

Conditions in our end markets continue to point to an extended, strong global mining cycle. We face the challenge of increasing capacity to meet demand, while managing a tight supply chain.

I?m excited to be a part of the new branch, and I have great team to work with.

We have some significant issues that we need to solve. There is plenty of challenge for any professional.

You have to lead people to get excited and be passionate and be activated by what you do.
