Plastic surgeons are always making mountains out of molehills.
I'm not a frustrated movie director: I'm not making games because I can't make movies.
Movie making is really, it's a director's medium, it's not even so much an actor's medium.
The action genre is kind of designed for a young male audience. But we found on 'The Matrix' that we hit the Valhalla of movie making, which is the four quadrant audience - the young male audience, the older male audience, the young female audience and the older female audience.
My theory is that there's a knee-jerk reaction against technology in movie making.
For me, movie making is not business.
For me, storytelling is the most interesting part of movie making.
What's the use of making mysteries? It only makes people want to nose 'em out.
I'm a two-time Olympian, but on the front and back end of both of those were two Olympics where I narrowly missed making the team.
The way I made 'Diamonds and Dirt,' which had all those hits in a row, was that I was just making a record. It was just the one that rolled up in my natural process, and it happened to be commercial.
Candidates and their consultants keep making the same mistake. They assume that all independents are bundled neatly together ideologically between Republicans and Democrats.
Even with the success of 'Once,' I can't think about making theater straight for Broadway. Too nerve-racking.
It's ironic, really, because I've spent the bulk of my career making my living in a very commercial realm: network television. And yet, my sensibilities don't necessarily line up with how I pay my rent.
I get very excited when we discover a way of making neural networks better - and when that's closely related to how the brain works.
Octopuses have hundreds of suckers, each one equipped with its own ganglion with thousands of neurons. These 'mini-brains' are interconnected, making for a widely distributed nervous system. That is why a severed octopus arm may crawl on its own and even pick up food.
I never regret making a decision.
I was making crappy beats since I was, like, 17 or 18, using Florida rappers, where I'm from. Then I started DJ'ing because I just wanted to have a new job.
One nice thing about making jokes is that you don't have to prove them.
I like a little movie I did in the early nineties called 'Mortal Thoughts.' The part was hardly written, but I learned a lot making it. No one remembers it.
There is no business in America that would be prevented from taking results into account when making personnel decisions.
