Usually when there are a lot of layoffs, like in 2008 and 2009, business creation tends to spike. But that didn't happen right away, partly because people trying to start a business couldn't get credit.
I love the whole layout of Vancouver and the super-friendly people who live there.
People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.
I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things.
Lazy people are always anxious to be doing something.
People think New York is crazy and busy, but it's actually a great place for lazy people to live.
Lazy people tend not to take chances, but express themselves by tearing down other's work.
Most kids are smarter than most grown-ups. Kids see the world in black and white... They look through all the garbage and see a world run by fools and dullards and lazy people. And there's nothing they can do about it because they have no power.
Painting is a field that attracts a lot of lazy people. You can just sort of sit and wait for things to come to you. I know a lot of painters who'll sit and chat it up all night. But God, I just can't do that.
We need more of those characters that lead by example for people coming up next to us.
I don't think you can control people. I don't think you manage people. I think you give people a direction, you give them the resources, you lead by example. They get it right, you say, 'Atta girl.' And they get it wrong, you say, 'Not good.'
I think it's just important for people to lead by example.
It seemed to me... that the only valid people to deal with crime were cops, and I would like to make the lead character, rather than a single person, a squad of cops.
Not many people get to play the lead character in a gigantic film and model for Ralph Lauren; it's amazing.
I understand that people have aspirations, and everyone wants to play the lead role. But, I do believe that one must climb the ladder from the first step.
It's rare to see a person of colour in a lead role. It does matter to a lot of people.
I've done over 100 auditions, but I was lucky to stumble onto the Internet as it was growing. Because in film, people are not looking at casting completely unknown faces as lead roles.
A lot of the new people they choose on shows like 'American Idol' and things like that - I don't ever hear lead singers. They always seem to choose to pick people that are great singers, fabulous singers, but they've never got the voice that makes a great lead singer.
When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves.'
When you're in a leadership role, you can never please all of the people all of the time. There's also a lot of responsibility that goes along with it that others may not realize.
