I'm most inspired by people who are doing what they love in a big, loud way. And big and loud doesn't always have to be big and loud. Sometimes these people can appear as a quiet storm, but in their full expression everyone feels the impact.
We want big directional signs from God. God just wants us to pay attention.
Dream a dream so big that unless God intervenes it will fail.
The big question of our time is not Can it be built? but Should it be built? This places us in an unusual historical moment: our future prosperity depends on the quality of our collective imaginations.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
President Obama has outsourced a major portion of the U. S. space program to the Russians. That's national policy. Taxpayer money. So let's stop playing games with this outsourcing distortion and talk about the fact that when we need is a president that knows how to manage big enterprise and create jobs.
That's such a big part of film scoring that people don't realize. There's a portion of film scoring that's writing the music, but a lot of it is how do you get along with the guy you're working with, how do you interpret what he wants? It's so subjective, you know? Your version of sad is probably different than my version of sad. It's my job to figure out what your vision of sad looks like.
I care about reading, a lot. It's a big part of my life.
The good life for me always meant connecting with those big, important issues that grown-ups get so excited about.
I have no problem dressing up. . . because I know I'm a nice-looking guy. But as far as chains, I definitely feel that's a racial statement. Almost 100% of the guys in the league who are young and black wear big chains. So I definitely don't agree with that at all.
However much we may sympathize with a small nation confronted by a big and powerful neighbor, we cannot in all circumstances undertake to involve the whole British Empire in a war simply on her account. If we have to fight it must be on larger issues than that.
At university I had a big coloured scarf and people would often say, 'All right, Doctor Who?' And, I thought, I rather liked that notion.
The things that are the hardest are the things that are due the quickest. The more time you have the easier it is to come up with things and navigate. I think the other things that are tough are films that are very, very subtle. Where there are little tiny nuances that make a big difference.
The corporations who invest in lobbyists, it pays in terms of tax loopholes, tax subsidies, all the rest. It pays. Clearly, the money has a big effect.
Nobody in Big Bang receives vocal lessons anymore. We're impossible to teach because we already have very distinctive colors.
The day after the Republican convention ended, there was another political bomb that was dropped on the U. S. presidential election [2016] from Russia. The day after the Republican convention ended, right before the Democratic Convention began we got what U. S. intelligence agencies believed to be the next big Russian incursion into our election. We got the first WikiLeaks dump.
The big things that come our way are. . . the fruit of seeds planted in the daily routine of our work.
In my opinion, any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should 'have his head examined,' as General MacArthur so delicately put it.
We've always been trying to climb this ladder that leans so hard on our own idea of what our big songs are. We realized recently that we're not a band with big songs.
The early years were more about learning than about acting. I had to carry on my father's work, which was a big challenge.
