Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.

The most important thing about power is to make sure you don't have to use it.

Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.

Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.

Science is a method to keep yourself from kidding yourself.

Any problem can be solved using the materials in the room.

Every creative act is a sudden cessation of stupidity.

Marketing is what you do when your product is no good.

Politeness is the poison of collaboration.

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.

If you dream of something worth doing and then simply go to work on it and don't think anything of personalities, or emotional conflicts, or of money, or of family distractions; it is amazing how quickly you get through those 5,000 steps.

Its not that we need new ideas, but we need to stop having old ideas.

It's not that we need new ideas, but we need to stop having old ideas.

This is the most exciting part of being human. It is using our brains in the highest way. Otherwise we are just healthy animals

[A Polaroid camera] places before you a thing that is more of the thing than the thing was.

My personal philosophy is not to undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.

You cannot separate the composition from the life of the moment. It is all one thing, to be decided in a split second while you're living through it.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.

I have a project at HBO and one at the Family Channel coming that are being looked at. Aside from that I am not doing much more than playing golf and some skiing.

One of the most interesting aspects of the film project was collaborating with so many people - directors, filmmakers, and writers - over a five-year period. I learned that there are two components to this.

To think that we as a publisher (i.e. people who have never actually MADE a game) can have a realistic impact on a project that a team of experts is slaving away on full time for 2 years is a bit arrogant.

In the earliest days, this was a project I worked on with great passion because I wanted to solve the Defense Department's problem: it did not want proprietary networking and it didn't want to be confined to a single network technology.

Every book is a new journey. I never felt I was an expert on a subject as I embarked on a project.

Let's talk of a system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art, in which the entire process of work is included... something in which the principle of production and consumption takes on a form of quality. It's a Gigantic project.

I think it is important to maintain a sense of self and confidence, not letting either falter for the sake of a particular part or project, no matter how great it might be.

As long as I had easy access to psychedelics at the government-sponsored research project, most of my energy went into psychedelic sessions.

I always listen to a lot of different music when I am working on a project.

For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.

Believing that our greatest need is for the general public to be able to get better information, to have an opportunity to learn better the real issues of the less fortunate, we centered the activities of the Fairness Project on that.

God would have to beam into me what I was doing and what the album actually sounded like because usually when I start a project like that, I already know what the album sounds like before I start it.

The founders of a new colony, whatever Utopia of human virtue and happiness they might originally project, have invariably recognized it among their earliest practical necessities to allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery, and another portion as the site of a prison.

It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.

For the last 30 years our cinemas have been ruled by science fiction and horror. We've had some very good Fantasy films in that time period, but for my tastes I still haven't seen fantasy done to absolute perfection. That is the hope I have in this project.

The players never think they project enough. In a hall that seats 3,300 people, it's a very scary thing to play so quietly that you can barely hear yourself.

Australia as a nation, as a set of cities and some regional centres, that project died a death and we didn't get it up, but I still think there's merit in that.

Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.

It's a project that touched me as an immigrant and as a New Yorker.

I think my view is that whenever you project into the future you're never likely to be accurate in the details, or the paraphernalia and style.

It is my really sincere desire that we get an opportunity to play long enough for people to really grab on and become fans, because I think it's a great project.

Our goal is to leverage what is already out in the field in terms of partners, but then hire in project management capability and a bit of technical capability.

In the GNOME project we tried to keep the platform language independent.

You know, we - we start with a mentality that we'll take a sports project if its good. And we're certainly not on the lookout for them, because to be honest we don't have to. They walk in the door.

I'm actually developing a project so that I can have a lead.

The day Tarzan opened in London, I sat in a hotel room and discussed the project in detail.

The project which we developed, however, was for a sound piece and I was initially curious that a sculptor should be interested in working with a musician, especially on a project for radio.

With BSG, sci-fi is the human experience taken beyond the envelope. When I first became involved with the project, I knew that I would be able to play a human being for many years, exploring and reflecting on issues that would impact people's lives.

Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.

The main problem was a pacing problem. I had wanted the project to be about 20-30 issues, and I should have written it out as a full script beforehand.
