The world I describe is about how people live now. It's not about zany people with unlimited, inexplicable funds in an apartment somewhere.
People who are genuinely involved in life, not just living a routine they've contrived to protect them from disaster, always seem to have more demanded of them than they can easily take on.
A constant ongoing joke among the people that I travel with is my absolutely hopeless sense of direction. I'm able to get lost a half an hour from camp. I don't know how I do this.
People have opinions about everything and especially when you get into that world of animal rights or tree rights or whatever rights, they all have an opinion.
I make music that I know that people will enjoy, and balance the ideas and philosophy that we put in music with music that when we play it live, people can move to it and groove to it.
Making movies has not only been an incredibly collaborative process but there's three big parts: pre-production, shooting itself and then post-production, which leads into marketing. And if you're passionate about the movie and you believe in it, and it would make sense that you are having done it, then you want to get out and promote it. It makes it a lot easier when the film is good and people are enjoying it.
People do not choose a government that will bring the market within their control; instead, the market in every way conditions governments to bring the people within its control.
It always seemed to me that white people were judged as individuals. But if a Negro did something stupid or wrong, it was held against all of us.
In the future the question will not be, "Are people credit-worthy", but rather, "Are banks people-worthy?"
I've never really been into doing a lot of social media, but it's a great way for people to talk amongst themselves on a large platform and to have a large conversation with people who also enjoy the same thing.
Our efforts to counter hatred, intolerance, and indifference must continue simultaneously at individual and structural levels. We must try to influence for good the minds and hearts of individual people through dialogue and confidence building. These efforts must be reinforced by our efforts to create just structures in society to support the ongoing work of negotiations in the human community. Only then will we have a chance to negate the terrible consequences of the tremendous conflicts facing humankind today.
Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.
People who have come from nothing and started their own business or opened up a whole new niche in a particular industry, they truly inspire me.
My people never dreamed of a world like this. Of having so much without backbreaking, debilitating work. And yet for all the physical improvements, people are still people. They’re killing each other to get more to prove a point only the killer understands. Still brutalizing and torturing each other over things that in another hundred years won’t even matter.
If you're OK with being clumsy, it's funny. But if you are super embarrassed, people are going to laugh at you.
If people keep buying poorly designed products, manufacturers and designers will think they are doing the right thing and continue as usual.
Some people just wanted to blow it all to hell, animal, vegetable and mineral. They wanted a Vietnam they could fit into their car ashtrays.
Liberty cannot be sacrificed for the sake of temperance, for the sake of morality, or for the sake of anything. It is of more value than everything. Yet some people would destroy the sun to prevent the growth of weeds. Liberty sustains the same relation to all the virtues that the sun does to life.
I shy away from plot structure that depends on the characters behaving in ways that are going to eventually be explained by their childhood, or by some recent trauma or event. People are incredibly complicated. Who knows why they are the way they are?
I think e-mail petitions are an illusion. It gives people the illusion that they're participating in some meaningful political action.
