I like doing character movies. I like doing movies about personal situations that's what I love about dealing with things.
Will Gluck
Image
Management has to provide the coordinating mechanism between what the supplier provides and what the user needs in not-good-enough situations where product architecture is consequently interdependent. Management always beats markets when there is not sufficient information.
Clayton Christensen
Image
In other words, I believed, and still do believe, that truth, is frequently of its own essence, superficial, and that, in many cases, the depth lies more in the abysses where we seek her, than in the actual situations wherein she may be found.
Edgar Allan Poe
Image
I get to draw what I like to draw, basically people hangin' around, and write very humanistic kinds of situations and characters. But I do also like to draw adventure stories - more in terms of drawing them than writing them - and letting my imagination go wild.
Gilberto Hernandez Guerrero

The most essential and fundamental aspect of culture is the study of literature, since this is an education in how to picture and understand human situations.

John Dewey
Image

How many situations can be resolved with less thinking?
Eckhart Tolle
Image
Evolutionary theory has nothing to say, in general, as to whether cheating is more advantageous than cooperating. There are many circumstances in which the contrary would be true, and empirical evidence, though it exists, has little bearing on real situations.
Noam Chomsky

Law school taught me one thing: how to take two situations that are exactly the same and show how they are different.
Hart Pomerantz
Image
One of the main things we have been looking at is, how can we get a robot to think about situations it's never seen before?
Judy Woodruff
Image
To call them emotional comedies sounds cloying. Like Billy Wilder said, 'You want to make them laugh and you want to make them cry,' and it's very hard to do so. If you ground it in reality, you get a more honest comedy. You don't have to reach for jokes to manufacture situations as much. And I think it's a type of film I do best.
Charles Shyer
Image
The play-it-safe pessimists of the world never accomplish much of anything, because they don't look clearly and objectively at situations, they don't recognize or believe in their own abilities to overcome even the smallest amount of risk.
Benjamin Hoff
