Take Tom Sachs as an artist. His brain is more brilliant than anything, so of course, anything he puts out over a ten-year period is going to continue to be super relevant. But if you look at some artists, they have one good idea, but unless you know where it's coming from, it's not going to be lasting.
I see religion as a storehouse of lots of really good ideas that a secular world should look at, raid, and learn from.
Einstein was a great advocate of the notion that good ideas look absurd at the beginning. Camus expressed a similar view.
Good jobs look a lot like kids playing and adults working.
I wish I could always look like I've just finished a really good laugh.
The key to being a good manager or a good entrepreneur is to pick the right people. Pick the right people, and they'll make you look good.
In managers, I look for people who can get things done through other people. The most important thing for a good manager is that the people on his team feel like he or she has integrity.
I feel like a good mom. I'm a strong woman now... Don't look down on me. Pray for me because I'm trying.
Some women give birth and then two weeks later look amazing. I don't think I'm going to be one of those women, and I'm OK with that. I just want to be a good mom; I don't really care about having a hot bod.
I don't go out there and put on any sort of front for people. If I'm in a good mood, I appear in a good mood on TV, and if I'm in a bad mood, I just go out there and look like I'm in a bad mood.
I consider myself a remarkably unsentimental person. I don't look back on the good old days.
When it comes to jobs, President Obama makes the Jimmy Carter years look like good old days. If we fired Jimmy Carter then, why would we rehire Barack Obama now?
When someone says to you, 'Oh, I don't take a good picture,' what they mean is they haven't come to terms with how they look. They take a fine picture, it's just that their image of how they think they look is not in touch with the reality.
If a middle-class family in Shanghai or Guangzhou is looking for a good-quality product, we want them to look at a maple leaf and say, 'OK, it's good quality.'
I wanted to make good records. But my problem is I've got a low boredom threshold, so I wanted it to look and sound different with each album, which is really tantamount to suicide, cause people lose it, they lose it - they say: 'I like that, and that's not this.'
I need a producer who will look for a good script. I need a director whose purpose to make a film is not for his survival but because he loves making films.
I look for good scripts, not anything. It should inspire me, and the audience should like it.
I look at myself like a show dog. I've got to keep her clipped and trimmed and in good shape.
I always look for good stories and good characters, and if they're placed in a whodunit, then I'm interested.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are two peas in the same pod, and the American people have tasted that, and said, 'Look, that's not a good taste.'
