Zitat des Tages über Etwas Leute / Something People:
To be a film-maker, you have to lead. You have to be psychotic in your desire to do something. People always like the easy route. You have to push very hard to get something unusual, something different.
I always wrote. My parents are writers. It just seemed like something people did.
The way to build billion dollar companies is to first build something people love. There isn't really a shortcut there.
I find interesting characters or lessons that resonate with people and sometimes I write about them in the sports pages, sometimes I write them in a column, sometimes in a novel, sometimes a play or sometimes in nonfiction. But at the core I always say to myself, 'Is there a story here? Is this something people want to read?'
If you try to create something people enjoy, and it happens to be made in a responsible way, then that's when you can really strike an incredible balance.
We must take care that globalization does not become something people become afraid of.
The holidays are a way to get away from the pain of the year, creating something people can laugh at. That's a gift.
Nudity isn't something people should take offense to.
Unfortunately for governments like that of Iran, when they forbid something, people become more interested.
Broadway is such a diverse community. Everybody knows how I believe, and everyone believes, and it's not a big deal. But in Hollywood, if you talk about politics - especially if you're a Republican - or spirituality, it's just not something people want to hear about.
Ninety percent of leadership is the ability to communicate something people want.
Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
Many people agree with me that many things are not clear in football these days and it is not something people who watch football deserve. The situation will be the same while football is run by people who do not understand football.
I don't understand computers. I've been unable to construct a working mental model of how they do what they do. I can break software by looking at it. I can blow anything up. Without trying. It's sort of like being a dowser. And this extreme elaborate clumsiness on my part is actually something people will pay me for. It's quite wonderful.
In my own writing, I tend to be very honest, and my goal is to identify something people think but are afraid to say. That's not the general cultural expectation of women.
Actors will never be replaced. The thought that somehow a computer version of a character is going to be something people prefer to look at is a ludicrous idea.
Growing up, people are like, 'Mary, we'll see you at the Grammys.' You're like, 'I'll be at the Grammys.' Then, you're actually at the Grammys! That actually is happening; it's not just something people are saying because they like your music. It's real!
Going into politics is something people have asked me about forever.
How any person decides to emphasize strengths and mitigate weaknesses is something people have to figure out for themselves. I'm wary of the self-help literature that suggests there are certain rules. I'm very happy for people to look at my story and say it's possible to achieve many things.
I guess that's what art is: Turning something painful into something people can relate to.
Sex is a big question mark. It is something people will talk about forever.
Soccer matches should be something special, something people eagerly look forward to, something that brightens life.
I made a deliberate choice to write something people would enjoy, not knock people out with 'Boy, he can really put a clause together!'
These are stories you hear... of people sitting in a mall and being spotted, and you think it will happen to you. And when you're fresh off the boat, and new in Bombay, you want those kind of things! They are magical fables. You want to, somewhere, be a part of it, something people will read about. But reality is different.
I think that's something people need to convey because you see all these celebrity moms out there, and the perception is they can do it all, but they have sooo much help. And it's kind of an unfair image to project for many women, because it is really hard, and if you have help, you should indicate you have help.
I sit on the Drug Policy Subcommittee of the United States Congress. I'm on the speaker's task force. This is something people would rather turn away from and not face, but in fact it is possibly the greatest threat we face.
I never want to forget that I'm doing an impossible thing. How rare is it that you get to be part of something people love? It's really special. It's a very out-of-body experience to be a part of something so huge.
Anybody that's been through a divorce, and I hope it's something people never have to experience, it's the worse thing in the world.
The television has opened a lot of doors for me. I am very successful at what I do, and I live a good life. It's not something that I'm embarrassed of. I think it's something people should want to aspire to.
The exhaustion of old age is something people who are younger don't fully appreciate.
I think people like to think I'm in some way financially dependent on my family - on my dad - but the fact of the matter is I've been emancipated from my father since I was 14 years old. That's something people don't know or understand.
One of the problems of our youth is that the family unit is broken up. When we'd sit down to dinner together as a family, we'd learn about each other. We had something people don't get today.
There are a lot of different elements in play when you're remaking something people care about.
What is important to me is that when I write something, people listen to me. I provide my wisdom to people, whether they agree or not.
I was very fascinated by the time when firearms went from being fire sticks to being something people could use to hunt and to survive.
Mobile forced us to rethink the user experience and do something people would be able to carry out on in a couple of seconds on the mobile phone. By stripping out all the work the user used to do and putting that on the company, we were able to create a much better user experience.
