With a novelist, like a surgeon, you have to get a feeling that you've fallen into good hands - someone from whom you can accept the anesthetic with confidence.
‐‐ Saul Bellow
With a painter or a sculptor, one cannot begin to alter his works, but an architect has to put up with anything, because he makes utility objects - the building is there to be used, and times change.
‐‐ Arne Jacobsen
With a painter's temperament, all that's needed are the means of expression sufficient to be intelligible to the wide public.
‐‐ Paul Cezanne
With a painting, you don't have to go back and paint it again.
‐‐ Joni Mitchell
With a parent, it's always guilt. You want to be there, but you kind of also want to be here.
‐‐ Heather Locklear
With a pen in my hand I have successfully stormed bulwarks from which others armed with sword and excommunication have been repulsed.
‐‐ Georg C. Lichtenberg
With a photograph, you are left with the same modes of interpretation as you are with a book. You ask: 'What do we know about the author and their background? What do I know about the subject?'
‐‐ Joel Sternfeld
With a pilot, there's a lot of information that gets packed into 46 minutes or whatever it is. Usually what happens is that, throughout the season, you get to spend a little more quality time with the characters and get to know them a bit better, whether it's based on circumstance or relationships they've created with other characters.
‐‐ Eric Dane
With a play, for me, there's no time to sit back on it. You're living on your instincts. And every night there are subtle changes and adjustments, because what's in front of you is a living, breathing audience.
‐‐ Eve Myles
With a play, there's more of a definable arc because of the nature of theater: You know, there's no editing, so there's something more natural about the arc a character follows in a play. I think theater is more an actor's medium, whereas film is more a director's medium, because that's who controls the final feel of the film.
‐‐ Dan Futterman
With a play, you do it and it's gone. Films always date. Television drama always dates. Television comedy, for some reason, seems to go on.
‐‐ Penelope Keith
With a poetry book I can send 100 copies out to reviewers and other people, and even do it in advance and get their response. It's difficult with iPad: how do you send it out for free, and how do you even disseminate it before it goes into their store?
‐‐ Felix Dennis
With a popular show, you know that there's expectations there, so that's a little nerve-wracking when you're new and you're just trying to find your legs on something, but it's exciting, too, because that's what we work so hard for.
‐‐ Aaron Ashmore
With a population of more than 600 million people, an emerging middle class that is driving strong consumption, and a robust and resilient economy, Southeast Asia presents a compelling growth opportunity for Starbucks.
‐‐ Howard Schultz
With a private company, you've got to get into who's investing and what's the balance sheet like. So going public is a positive thing from the perspective of the sales organization.
‐‐ David Duffield
With a proven track record as a reliable, low cost producer able to meet the needs of our customers with a diversity of operations, coal qualities and transportation options, we believe we can continue our record-setting performance in the future, as the Gibson South and White Oak mines reached their full potential.
‐‐ Joe Craft
With a recent birthday, I've been acting now for twenty years.
‐‐ Thayer David
With a record of 75 fights and 6 losses, some of the losses were very questionable including Brian Nielsen when we fought in Denmark. I knew I won but they didn't give me that fight.
‐‐ Larry Holmes
With a regular venture fund, you raise, let's say, a billion dollars, and then over the next three or four years, you've got to invest that money; otherwise, the people who invested with you will say, 'What are you doing? You're just collecting fees on our money.'
‐‐ Bill Maris
With a rescue dog, you take what's at the centre as long as it roughly fits the bill. When you buy a dog from a breeder, you can choose everything from its personality to how shiny its coat is.
‐‐ Mark Barrowcliffe
With a revival, you're compared to somebody else.
‐‐ Kelli O'Hara
With a rock band, you play the same things over and over and over.
‐‐ Ikue Mori
With a sequel, you always worry for its integrity.
‐‐ Tim Curry
With a sequel you're always trying to get bigger and better.
‐‐ Breckin Meyer
With a series, keeping the quality high and writing incredibly fast, that's the first lesson you learn. You can't be real precious. When you're doing a feature film, you have 2 1/2 months; you sort of take your time. It's a different animal.
‐‐ Alex Kurtzman
With a series, you build the character as you go. When you've got a shorter project or a film, you know the overall arc from the beginning.
‐‐ Marianne Jean-Baptiste
With a sitcom, everyday you do a run through, and people are judging you, and the scripts are being changed nightly, nightly, nightly.
‐‐ Amy Sherman-Palladino
With a small town mentality, you make a decision very early on as to whether you are going to do everything by the book or just go your own way and not care.
‐‐ Bjork
With a stage play, they can't cut a word; you can be in rehearsals every day, you cast it, you cast the director, too; the amount of control for a playwright is almost infinite, so you have that control over the finished product.
‐‐ Martin McDonagh
With a stretch belt, anything can be a dress - a dinner napkin, a tablecloth, even a towel. Just wrap and snap, and away you go in an incredible outfit. Another plus is that the belt will pull all eyes to your lovely curves, and they even look good around a coat or a jacket.
‐‐ Beth Ditto
With a strong domestic economy, low national unemployment at 5 percent, and increasing retail sales, the picture should look rosy. But one look at the trade deficit changes all of that.
‐‐ Jo Ann Emerson
With a suit, always wear big British shoes, the ones with large welts. There's nothing worse than dainty little Italian jobs at the end of the leg line.
‐‐ David Bowie
With a suit, even if you're having a nervous breakdown, you still look like you're in charge.
‐‐ Paul Feig
With a tennis racket strapped tightly to her hiking pack, Martina Navratilova began her ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro. The tennis legend had visions of celebrating at the summit of Africa's highest peak by hitting a couple balls to see how far they might fly in the thin air at 19,341 feet.
‐‐ Don Yaeger
With a theatre audience there's always the additional sense of a sustained challenge of which I'm acutely aware and for which you need to have the tools ready - your voice, physicality, brain.
‐‐ Greta Scacchi
With a thriller, you're going to have your red herrings, as different suspects are thrown up as possible culprits. You can only explore that for so long - if you do that more than a few times, it starts to get a little redundant.
‐‐ Martin Henderson
With a track like 'White Christmas,' everybody has done that song in every format you can imagine, so I just looked at the chords at that particular song and what chords would make it work. That's kind of quite a sad song, and I had this idea of someone singing it in the subway, someone who is homeless, old and sad.
‐‐ Vince Clarke
With a traditional human resources system, we would work with a company, select the product, customise and implement the system, and our job would be over. Some companies are changing and asking why do they need to own the HR system when they can connect to an Internet service and pay as you go?
‐‐ Kris Gopalakrishnan
With a tree, all the growth takes place at the growing tips. Humanity is exactly the same. All the growth takes place in the growing tip: among that one percent of the population. It's made up of pioneers, the beginners. That's where the action is.
‐‐ Abraham Maslow
With a very few exceptions, every word in the French vocabulary comes straight from the Latin.
‐‐ Lytton Strachey
With a warm drink, in a rocking chair and family and friends around, I am working on finding peace and joy in the moments we have been given. It doesn't have to all make sense. I don't have all the answers.
‐‐ Taya Kyle
With a Web and iPhone app, I try to find new and tiny ways to delight my customers. They may not notice, but it helps drive goodwill and makes your product remarkable.
‐‐ Marco Arment
With a woman of sophistication, class and modesty and refinement, I become a totally tongue-tied buffoon. I can't even look her straight in the face.
‐‐ Iain Glen
With a young-adult series, you need to get a lot of books out on the market quickly. Teenagers aren't going to wait years and years for the next book.
‐‐ P. C. Cast
With AC/DC, we've always started with rock, and we've just kept it going. The critic's view is always, 'They just made an album and it's the same as the last one.' I'll have fifteen of them, anytime.
‐‐ Angus Young
With 'Acid Rap,' I allowed myself to be really open-minded and free with who I allowed into my musical space. I wanted to make a cohesive product, but I also just want to make a bunch of dope songs inspired by whatever sounds I liked.
‐‐ Chance The Rapper
With acknowledgement of residues, we can be more easily prepared to grant the unit of science, the overlapping of disciplines, and the total coherence of all facts.
‐‐ Kenneth L. Pike
With acting, I always feel conscious of what I'm doing.
‐‐ Flea
With acting, I always felt like I didn't have control of it. It was all about other people giving me a job.
