The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another.
‐‐ Richard P. Feynman
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes.
‐‐ Harold Prince
The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.
‐‐ Maya Angelou
The idea is, we're still a society where we recognize and see and even sometimes seek members of our own tribe, whatever that tribe is. It could be ethnic, religious, geographic, political.
‐‐ Peter Guber
The idea led me into the research, which continues to give me more ideas for the story.
‐‐ Jean M. Auel
The idea of 24-hour news, if you really step back, is pretty insane. Just even saying '24-hour news' almost has satire laced in it.
‐‐ Adam McKay
The idea of a federal betting parlor on atrocities and terrorism is ridiculous and it's grotesque.
‐‐ Ron Wyden
The idea of a film staying in theaters for a year is something of a fantasy today.
‐‐ Henry Thomas
The idea of a flip book still really appeals to me. That idea of fiction and non-fiction.
‐‐ Yann Martel
The idea of a Frankenstein-like creature is something I've done several times. It's such an icon of the horror scene.
‐‐ Mike Mignola
The idea of a 'happening' is that there is little distance between the viewer and it, whatever 'it' is. It's an experience that's on-going and evolving.
‐‐ Doug Aitken
The idea of a Japanese comedian was not only a rarity, it was non-existent.
‐‐ Pat Morita
The idea of a mentally ill vice president who suffers in complete isolation was obviously sparked by the behaviors I witnessed by Sarah Palin. What if somebody who was ill-equipped for the office were to ascend to the presidency or vice presidency? What would they do? How long would it take for people to figure it out?
‐‐ Nicolle Wallace
The idea of a musical comedy was something we had had in mind for many years, but the project 'Igudesman & Joo: A Little Nightmare Music' has a history that goes back five years. I can say that this is the most successful project that we have ever done.
‐‐ Aleksey Igudesman
The idea of a national digital library has been in the air for a long time, and there was a danger that some people would feel that it's their property, so to speak.
‐‐ Robert Darnton
The idea of a news broadcast once was to find someone with information and broadcast it. The idea now is to find someone with ignorance and spread it around.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
The idea of a non-growing economy may be an anathema to an economist. But the idea of a continually growing economy is an anathema to an ecologist.
‐‐ Tim Jackson
The idea of a perfect vacation is not working or not having to work and having no appointments.
‐‐ Tom Welling
The idea of a piece of literature as a vessel that could contain your life and lived after you had died and been forgotten struck me as akin to artificial intelligence.
‐‐ Louisa Hall
The idea of a poem as a message in a bottle means that it's sent out towards some future reader, and the reader who opens that bottle becomes the addressee of the literary text.
‐‐ Edward Hirsch
The idea of a pseudonym had been flitting around my brain for a long time, along with its cognate, disappearance. In the 1980s, I published some poems under a pen name in a literary magazine to see what it would feel like. It was fun. It was even a little thrilling.
‐‐ Michael Redhill
The idea of a rupture between acts occurs in a number of my plays.
‐‐ Richard Greenberg
The idea of a soulmate is beautiful and very romantic to talk about it in a movie or a song, but in reality, I find it scary.
‐‐ Vanessa Paradis
The idea of a spiritual heart transplant is a vivid image to me; once you have the heart of somebody else inside you, then that heart is there. Jesus' heart is inside me, and my heart is gone. So if God were to place a stethoscope against my chest, he would hear the heart of Jesus Christ beating.
‐‐ Max Lucado
The idea of a stag hunt evokes chivalry - knights in jerkins and hose, ladies on sidesaddles with wimples and billowing dresses, a white stag symbolizing something-or-other, and Robin Hood getting in the way. An actual stag hunt is more like a horseback meeting of a county planning commission.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
The idea of a streaming service, like Netflix for music, I'm not totally against it. It's just we won't put all of our music on it until there are enough subscribers for it to make sense.
‐‐ Patrick Carney
The idea of a tax on the ownership of a television belongs in the 1950s. Why not tax people for owning a washing machine to fund the manufacture of Persil?
‐‐ Jeremy Paxman
The idea of a world where all people are alike - in wealth or in anything else - is a fantasy for the stupid.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
The idea of a young girl who knows exactly what she wants with her life is the most threatening and unappealing thing you can imagine.
‐‐ Allison Williams
The idea of a youth-based society that you live in for a certain time and then you no longer live anymore is an interesting idea for a movie, but you need young people that people want to go see.
‐‐ Joel Silver
The idea of accumulating ambitions or achievements didn't get much further than wanting to do the next exciting thing. I really haven't set out with any list of achievements.
‐‐ Kenneth Branagh
The idea of acting is something that absolutely repulses me. I just can't do it. I'm terrible at it. I get roped into films every now and then, and it's always a disaster.
‐‐ Nick Cave
The idea of 'advice,' in terms of telling people advice or asking people for advice, has become not comprehensible to me, to a certain degree, due to feeling, like, for something to be accurately defined as 'good' or 'bad,' I would want to know the context, goal, perspective for it.
‐‐ Tao Lin
The idea of aerial military surveillance dates back to the Civil War, when both the Union and the Confederacy used hot-air balloons to spy on the other side, tracking troop movements and helping to direct artillery fire.
‐‐ Michael Hastings
The idea of allowing corporations to have unlimited influence on our democracy is very dangerous, obviously.
‐‐ Russ Feingold
The idea of an afterlife where you can be reunited with loved ones can be immensely consoling - though not to me.
‐‐ Richard Dawkins
The idea of an animated film is you always kind of get a little bit daunted by it as a filmmaker because it feels like a lot of your communication is going to be with computer artists, and you're going to have to kind of channel the movie through extra pairs of hands.
‐‐ Peter Jackson
The idea of an e-book has been around since the late 1970s, when researchers at Xerox PARC got on the case. Their prototype used millions of little magnetic particles, black on one side and white on the other, loosely embedded in the surface of a soft sheet of rubber.
‐‐ Charles Platt
The idea of an ordered and elegant universe is a lovely one. One worth clinging to. But you don't need religion to appreciate the ordered existence. It's not just an idea, it's reality. We're discovering the hidden orders of the universe every day.
‐‐ Adam Savage
The idea of appealing to people of a like mind and like spirit always appealed to me.
‐‐ Robert Smith
The idea of Asian ascendancy has entered public culture.
‐‐ Kevin Kwan
The idea of avant-garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new.
‐‐ Robert Morgan
The idea of 'Badlands' was creating a space with sound, which is a really difficult thing to do.
‐‐ Halsey
The idea of being a foreign correspondent and wandering the world and witnessing great events, having adventures and covering the activities of world leaders, appealed to me greatly. It was a very glamorous life in those days.
‐‐ Alan Cranston
The idea of being a novelist is really romantic, but it's kind of the same as being president of the United States - it's not gonna happen.
‐‐ Richard Paul Evans
The idea of being a painter, I've always thought, is better than being an artist or a sculptor.
‐‐ Damien Hirst
The idea of being a show runner was very attractive to me, to create and control something.
‐‐ Nic Pizzolatto
The idea of being a single woman in Hollywood is a very peculiar thing.
‐‐ Marsha Mason
The idea of being a young 50 sounds like you're trying to kid yourself, like a Harley-Davidson or something. I've bought a dressage horse instead.
‐‐ Martin Clunes
The idea of being able to serve as an example, based upon how to process, how to think, how to realize our own dreams, we can pass that down to our children.
‐‐ Stedman Graham
