The problem we were struggling with within the closed market was what the incentive would be. You probably wouldn't use dollars. But those are all questions that need to be explored.
‐‐ John Poindexter
The problem when arguing with those who believe in atheistic evolution is that they move goal posts by redefining atheism or evolution or the word 'species.'
‐‐ Ray Comfort
The problem, when comparing contemporary television to television in 1974, is that TV has become not just bad but sad.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
The problem - when you cast your net that wide - is you inevitably catch something you don't want to catch.
‐‐ Edward Felten
The problem when you're a cartoonist and you go into the voting booth is that you have your choice of two guys - one would be best for your country, and one would be best for your business.
‐‐ Jeff MacNelly
The problem with a lot of Chinese is that they put up divisions between Taiwanese, Hong Kong natives, mainlanders. We are never united. I really hope that the Chinese can be more united.
‐‐ Martin Yan
The problem with a purely collective system is not only that it requires economic growth, and the right sort of demographic trends, but that it prevents people thinking about their futures in a responsible way.
‐‐ Jacques Delors
The problem with all-or-nothing thinking is that it stops people even taking the first steps. The thought of never having pepperoni pizza again somehow turns into an excuse to keep ordering it every week.
‐‐ Michael Greger
The problem with allowing God a role in the history of life is not that science would cease, but rather that scientists would have to acknowledge the existence of something important which is outside the boundaries of natural science.
‐‐ Phillip E. Johnson
The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.
‐‐ Joan Collins
The problem with being a film actress or a movie star is that people see you so huge that somehow you're visually massive or somehow you're in some removed space, which is a television or wherever. It somehow takes your humanity.
‐‐ Kristin Scott Thomas
The problem with being a journalist is you go places and you're working. You don't get to appreciate everything. But I got enough of a sampler of South Africa; I thought, 'I want to come here when I don't have to interview people for a living so that I can really enjoy it.' Because I think it was just a magnificent place.
‐‐ Lester Holt
The problem with being a writer/director: unless you're really disciplined, you start adding projects, and you have to make time to make them. Because you have to write them... no one else is writing them for me.
‐‐ Cary Fukunaga
The problem with being a writer is that some readers tend to think that anything that comes out of a character's mouth is you talking.
‐‐ Mark Billingham
The problem with being an actor is that you have to be reactive to what other people want.
‐‐ Marisa Coughlan
The problem with being an employee or self-employed is you pay the highest taxes.
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
The problem with being British... I don't know if it's me being British or being raised a strict Catholic, but you never really enjoy success.
‐‐ Danny Boyle
The problem with being in the public eye for a long time is there are 20 years worth of looks to come back and haunt you!
‐‐ Louise Nurding
The problem with being Irish... is having 'Riverdance' on your back. It's a burden at times.
‐‐ Roddy Doyle
The problem with being married to an athlete who is, like, 19 feet tall and can just eat, like, 17 burgers at 11 o'clock at night is, you're like, 'I'll have just three of those burgers,' and you think you're being good because he had 19 and you had three!
‐‐ Kaley Cuoco
The problem with being sure that God is on your side is that you can't change your mind, because God sure isn't going to change His.
‐‐ Roger Ebert
The problem with big films is they snowball very rapidly and you can never pull back. It's a pipeline that needs to be fed.
‐‐ Christopher Nolan
The problem with binge-watching on Netflix is that you lose three days of your life.
‐‐ Harland Williams
The problem with books, now that I've written one, is that the idea of adaptation is so much easier than sitting down to write something new.
‐‐ Nick Cave
The problem with Bush is that yes, he's religious in a fundamentalist sort of way, they read the Old Testament as a sort of charter for the chosen people to do what they like.
‐‐ Bruce Kent
The problem with cap-and-trade and programs such as carbon capture and storage is that they all assume that business as usual can continue. The financial meltdown and peak oil has pretty much demonstrated that business as usual's not going to work.
‐‐ Andrew Nikiforuk
The problem with cats is that they get the exact same look on their face whether they see a moth or an axe-murderer.
‐‐ Paula Poundstone
The problem with certainty is that sometimes it can sound cold and heartless, although it is the most compassionate and supportive answer.
‐‐ Yehuda Berg
The problem with children is that you have to put up with their parents.
‐‐ Charles de Lint
The problem with climate change is that it's quite complicated for the ordinary person to understand.
‐‐ Lewis Gordon Pugh
The problem with comedy audiences - it's like the Coliseum - when they see someone struggling, they don't feel altruistic towards them. They feel slightly repulsed by it.
‐‐ Jo Brand
The problem with compassion is that it is not photogenic.
‐‐ Sebastian Horsley
The problem with competition is that it takes away the requirement to set your own path, to invent your own method, to find a new way.
‐‐ Seth Godin
The problem with copyright enforcement is that when the parameters aren't incredibly well defined, it means big corporations, who have deeper pockets and better lawyers, can bully people.
‐‐ Shepard Fairey
The problem with cosmetic surgery is that people who have it can only see how they look in the mirror. They don't realise how weird they look from other angles. I particularly hate the injections that puff out the face, which are hideous.
‐‐ Jerry Hall
The problem with couture is not designers; it's what happens when the couturier will no longer be there.
‐‐ Alber Elbaz
The problem with data is that it says a lot, but it also says nothing. 'Big data' is terrific, but it's usually thin. To understand why something is happening, we have to engage in both forensics and guess work.
‐‐ Sendhil Mullainathan
The problem with digital architecture is that an algorithm can produce endless variations, so an architect has many choices.
‐‐ Peter Eisenman
The problem with doing a schlocky or big budget studio film is that it wouldn't actually be fun for me. It wouldn't be exciting.
‐‐ David Cronenberg
The problem with doing physically ambitious art is that to view it, you still have to be in your physical body.
‐‐ Molly Crabapple
The problem with dragons is that everyone uses them. All the time. When that happens, they become commonplace. A lot of people think you can just throw them into a story and suddenly whatever you're writing is 28% cooler. But that doesn't work. All that does is make dragons into some boring cliche.
‐‐ Patrick Rothfuss
The problem with Ebola is that it makes mistakes while it copies itself. The mistakes are actually good for Ebola because they help Ebola change, and as a result of this, as it jumps from one human body to the next, roughly half the time, it's got a mutation.
‐‐ Richard Preston
The problem with emotion was that it was clearly something important, but-at least according to the old philosophy-it was something to overcome.
‐‐ Donald Norman
The problem with entrepreneurship is we are often working really hard producing high quality products that no-one wants. The creation of stuff is not valued.
‐‐ Eric Ries
The problem with existing biology is you change only one or two genes at a time.
‐‐ Craig Venter
The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment.
‐‐ James Randi
The problem with faerie gifts is that they always come with a price, which is why they are made by the desperate and the foolish.
‐‐ Holly Black
The problem with fame is that you get frozen in one frame and nothing you can do can alter the nature.
‐‐ Jerry Rubin
The problem with fame is you no longer belong to you. You lose your persona and become the object of other people's obsession. I feel watched 90% of the time, but that is something I drew with the cards that I drew.
‐‐ Dionne Warwick
