I'm just interested in meditating on certain ideas, and I like to draw: that's my way of thinking.
The ideas dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you're dead.
My passion for ideas is not matched with a passion for partisan or electoral politics.
The platform we had in Dallas, the 1984 Republican platform, all the ideas we supported there - from tax policy, to foreign policy; from individual rights, to neighborhood security - are things that Jefferson Davis and his people believed in.
I just have a sense that, you know, I'm curious about what is religion about, you know? Why do some of us still engage it? It's not because it's a set of old beliefs or old ideas. Or even, particularly, the view that this is the only true religion. Many of us no longer accept those views.
You see a lot of good ideas or well-written scripts that are bad ideas.
I block out a good amount of time - could be 6 or 8 months - and I just write. I do a lot of traveling, and I do a lot of co-writing with different writers just to start getting ideas out and kind of get a little bit of direction as far as where I'm going to go with the album.
It was pretty much the way that it was when I first read it, although one exception would be that some ideas that I had were also incorporated into the script.
'Allen Gregory' came about because we wanted an animated show and we were just tossing around some ideas about me playing a 7-year-old. We thought that would be cool, because we couldn't do that in real life.
Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the medium of expression.
The truth is, Hillary Clinton's ideas create more income inequality. Why? Because bigger government creates crony capitalism. When you have a 70,000 page tax code, you've got to be very wealthy, very powerful, very well connected to dig your way through that tax code.
Blogs are amazing, and I'm so grateful to mine for giving me such a great platform to explore other ideas, but it's just not practical to scroll through 30 pages of blog to find a dinner recipe.
I like to follow the training session with my voice. To call at them and explain my reasons and my ideas of football. It's important to make them understand: when to move, to time it right, not wrong - the right movement.
My education has allowed me to be more open to ideas which I would not have been had I not been as educated.
My goal is to spread ideas. Trends always start at the top.
Control over the use of one's ideas really constitutes control over other people's lives; and it is usually used to make their lives more difficult.
I thought I had swell ideas, and wonderful musicians, but the hell of it, no one else did.
What gets people into trouble with records now is that they want to build something up without substantial musical ideas. Without that as a foundation, you can add all the layers of sound you want - it's still going to sound like a mess.
Simple ideas lie within the reach only of complex minds.
Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the danger of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity.
In poetry, you must love the words, the ideas and the images and rhythms with all your capacity to love anything at all.
The ideas gained by men before they are twenty-five are practically the only ideas they shall have in their lives.
Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not.
I don't come in with any preconceived ideas, and although I will have done some preparation, I can go which way the director wants.
We as Republicans understand that we have got to protect these... entitlement programs - these entitlement programs for our seniors today. And we have to sit down and have a discussion. We need more ideas on the table.
The times of Arab nationalism and unity are gone forever. These ideas which mobilized the masses are only a worthless currency.
I kept on trying to use so many media and ideas in my work because our horizon is so vast and Indian culture is so rich that I think what we are today, culturally, we have a unique position and I don't think one lifetime is enough to encompass it.
To me success means effectiveness in the world, that I am able to carry my ideas and values into the world - that I am able to change it in positive ways.
Most intuitive ideas have to be clarified, so there is a trial and error process.
Exchange ideas frequently.
A writer of fiction lives in fear. Each new day demands new ideas, and he can never be sure whether he is going to come up with them or not.
I've always been very interested in the struggle for human rights, not just here but abroad, and I wanted to be an inside player in that struggle. I wanted to make the laws reflect our ideals and ideas in this democracy that is America.
Nothing is so perfectly amusing as a total change of ideas.
The only folk I can judge are people like Woody Allen who I think is a genius, largely because I think he has beaten the system. He has his own company, and his films are all his own ideas. It's his direction, and so it comes out the way he imagined it.
Democracy is an experimental system. I like it when states try out new ideas. I think we ought to expand, not contract, our federalist system.
We want people who work for us to be entrepreneurs. We like them to look at ideas. We like them to chase ideas. We like them to not be what I call a caretaker of an asset.
