It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference.
‐‐ Tom Brokaw
It's easy to make a film, but it's hard to make a career of being a filmmaker.
‐‐ Ira Sachs
It's easy to make fun of AOL's pending purchase of HuffPo. Just like AOL's purchase of TimeWarner, here we have a new media company - Huffington Post - fooling an old media company, AOL, into overpaying for something that has already peaked.
‐‐ Douglas Rushkoff
It's easy to make good decisions when there are no bad options.
‐‐ Robert Half
It's easy to make something avant garde. To do something in the traditional way is much more brave in the sense that you're - your technique is so much more exposed because there's not all this flashy stuff to distract the viewer.
‐‐ Cary Fukunaga
It's easy to measure success by the number of dollars spent or by the number of programs initiated, without having too much regard for what was bought and how useful it was to the people who need it - the war fighter and the analyst.
‐‐ Stephen Cambone
It's easy to motivate a client when they are sitting on a bench right in front of you, but the real challenge for a trainer is to have that motivation exist even when you are not around.
‐‐ Jessie Pavelka
It's easy to not feel misplaced if this tidal wave of appreciation is coming your way.
‐‐ Christoph Waltz
It's easy to play a bad girl: You just do everything you've been told not to do, and you don't have to deal with the consequences, because it's only acting.
‐‐ Eliza Dushku
It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself.
‐‐ Johann Sebastian Bach
It's easy to point out the evil in other people, but that can be found in all of us. That selfishness, that is something we all have in us. Sometimes you are successful at dealing with it, and sometimes you are not.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
It's easy to praise God in the good times, but what about when the storms of your flesh are a-brewin'? Not so easy then!
‐‐ Monica Johnson
It's easy to put on a Deep Purple record and say, 'That sounds great.' But why? Part of it is individual practice, but by playing together, a talent of meshing happens.
‐‐ Joe Perry
It's easy to reckon that the oomph to hurl even a Smart Car-size spacecraft to another star at, say, 20 percent the speed of light (and land it when it arrives) is the energy contained in 50 billion gallons of gasoline. The tank's not big enough.
‐‐ Seth Shostak
It's easy to say, 'I'm going to build something that already exists,' but it's difficult to clearly and succinctly describe something new.
‐‐ Sam Altman
It's easy to say that entrepreneurs will create jobs and big companies will create unemployment, but this is simplistic. The real question is who will innovate.
‐‐ Guy Kawasaki
It's easy to say why I love coming to Chicago for my signings, because I still remember the very first time I came to Chicago, right before 'Shiver' came out. I remember I was so struck by the feel of the city, how wide open it felt, even with these massive buildings all around me. The parks and green spaces are incredible.
‐‐ Maggie Stiefvater
It's easy to say you're more mature because all of a sudden you have a child, but it's a process.
‐‐ Tony Romo
It's easy to say young people should believe in themselves, but the number one thing is recognizing that it's a journey, that you have to build confidence in yourself.
‐‐ Andrew Shue
It's easy to see why 'American Horror' is freaking people out. The ultraviolent hallucinations never pause long enough to make sense. In terms of coherence, it makes your average David Lynch movie look like 'Burn Notice.'
‐‐ Rob Sheffield
It's easy to see why dog rescue is a mushrooming culture. Turning a troubled person's life around is difficult, but rescuers with commitment and time and a few dollars can radically alter the fate of a dog. And there are millions of dogs - nearly 10 million in the shelter system, many others mistreated in private homes - in need of rescuing.
‐‐ Jon Katz
It's easy to see why pitchers respect McGwire. If you hit behind him, they're saying that they don't respect you. You have to change their thinking.
‐‐ Eric Davis
It's easy to set a story anywhere if you get a good guidebook and get some basic street names, and some descriptions, but, for me, yes, I am indebted to my travels to India for several of the stories.
‐‐ Jhumpa Lahiri
It's easy to show terrible people's behavior on screen, and we all just kind of nod and go, 'Isn't that terrible.' It's more interesting when you can show terrible behavior in the interest of something good.
‐‐ Damien Chazelle
It's easy to sit in relative luxury and peace and pontificate on the subject of the Third World debts.
‐‐ Roger Moore
It's easy to sleep floating around - it's very comfortable. But you have to be careful that you don't float into somebody or something!
‐‐ Sally Ride
It's easy to start over-thinking things and over-analysing things.
‐‐ Andy Murray
It's easy to struggle in New York. I think New York is a bit expensive.
‐‐ Bret McKenzie
It's easy to talk to people over the Web, but it's not very easy to trigger transactions. That's the thing we set out to fix with Stripe.
‐‐ John Collison
It's easy to think that craft can't change but important to remember that all craft process was at some point new, at some point challenged convention - not to be contrary, but enabled by some breakthrough, some newly discovered principle, or sometimes some wonderful accident.
‐‐ Jonathan Ive
It's easy to underestimate the real cost of home ownership.
‐‐ Suze Orman
It's easy to understand why the most beautiful poems about England in the spring were written by poets living in Italy at the time.
‐‐ Philip Dunne
It's easy to walk away from risk, and you don't actually have to face it. Success is based upon overcoming the inherent risk you can't manage your way out of.
‐‐ Maurice Flanagan
It's easy to work for somebody else; all you have to do is show up.
‐‐ John Wanamaker
It's easy to write a good column if you've got good information. It's hard if you have to depend on style alone. I suppose there are people who can get away with styling on a regular basis. I'm not one of them. You're probably not, either.
‐‐ Allan Sloan
It's easy to write a short story and frighten people for five pages, but to work at length, when you do it as in 'The Turn Of The Screw' or 'A Christmas Carol,' it's different; you have to build it and build it.
‐‐ Susan Hill
It's easy to write for God and about God, because what a thrill to remind the church that the Holy Spirit of God is in you. What a rush! What an amazing blessing!
‐‐ Francis Chan
It's easy when you grow up in fear to act out of fear. I don't want to embrace that fear; I prefer to be kind.
‐‐ Akhil Sharma
It's easy when you've had difficulty or strife in your life to look at other people who seem like they've had it easier. But the thing we forget is that it is all relative, and each person's experience is uniquely their own, so that the worst thing they may be going through is truly the worst thing for them... it's just about having compassion.
‐‐ Bianca Kajlich
It's easy. You draw a red line on the ground, right? Then you wait for a chicken to come along. When he arrives, he puts his beak right on the line and he's hypnotized!
‐‐ Joey Santiago
It's either feast or famine, and that's the way it's been for as long as I can remember. I've spent my whole career thinking I'll never work again. Every actor lives with that insecurity. You just have to negotiate the rapids as they come.
‐‐ Amanda Donohoe
It's either I have to be in the trees or in the ocean, otherwise I lose my mind. I have to get connected with nature, otherwise I don't feel very good. And that's what life's about, feeling good, so nature knows best for me.
‐‐ Greg Cipes
It's either not good enough and dies altogether, or it develops.
‐‐ Ninette de Valois
It's either 'Saw' made for $4 million or 'Star Wars,' 'Star Trek,' 'Guardians of the Galaxy' et cetera being made for $150 million. So the $30 and $40 million films don't get made unless they're maybe 'Ride Along.' But I don't really know why. I don't get paid to know why.
‐‐ Chris Pine
It's embarrassing, isn't it? It took me 15 years to make an 18-minute movie.
‐‐ Andrew McCarthy
It's embarrassing to admit how many times I've reread the following: 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,' '1984,' 'Lord of the Flies,' 'The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter,' 'Germinal,' 'We Have Always Lived in the Castle,' and 'A Moveable Feast.'
‐‐ Suzanne Collins
It's embarrassing to be involved in the same business as the mainstream comic thing. It's still very embarrassing to tell other adults that I draw comic books - their instant, preconceived notions of what that means.
‐‐ Daniel Clowes
It's embarrassing to go through any rebellious stage in front of people that you love and respect, and yet I'm glad I did.
‐‐ Drew Barrymore
It's embarrassing to tell you how much my friends make fun of me. Seriously, when you have a doll made of your face, it's ridiculous how creative your friends can get... pictures, videos, little animated cartoons that they've made.
‐‐ Channing Tatum
It's emotional for artists who are women and people of color to have less value placed on our worldview.
‐‐ Ava DuVernay
