Anything that I can do individually to help our team is what I want to do.
It’s cool to be able to give each other that space to really explore ourselves individually and grow.

What we achieve individually is important but it’s never ever more than the team does.
Regardless of the difficulties we may face individually, in our families, in our communities and in our nation, the old adage is still true – you can make excuses or you can make progress, but you cannot make both! The America I know doesn’t make excuses.
I think we all have mechanisms that we use, each of us individually, to deal with pain that we’ve had or just dealing with life or whatever. Everyone’s story is different, but we all have some kind of mechanism that we use to deal with stuff, that we create pretty young.

Like with me, I just see my mum and dad as parents – I don’t see my dad individually as a man, my mum individually as a woman.
I want everyone inside of Microsoft to take that responsibility. This is not about top-line growth. This is not about bottom-line growth. This is about us individually having a growth mindset.
Individually the poor are not too tempting to thieves, for obvious reasons. Mug a banker and you might score a wallet containing a month’s rent. Mug a janitor and you will be lucky to get away with bus fare to flee the crime scene.
Individually, we’ve taken the world on and won; together, we must take on the challenge of creating a new, peaceful, humane and competitive nation and prevail.
Earlier in my career, a lot of guys wanted individual numbers and to do well individually.
I never rehearse scenes with the whole ensemble, because I need to preserve some surprise. Instead, I work with the cast individually on their characters.
Ours is a world which feels so unsettled and dangerous in large ways, whether it’s terrorism or global financial meltdown or climate change – huge things that affect us deeply, and yet things about which we can do, individually, very little.
If we’re saying there are incidents of oppression in this country, systematically or individually in this country, I don’t think saying, ‘Well, in country X, Y or Z it’s 10 times worse’ is making things any better. I think that may be true, but why can’t we improve?
Individually, people are finding that a simpler lifestyle provides greater satisfaction than relentless pursuit of materialism.
Motley Crue, collectively and individually, have done things on our own terms.
I realize the differences between my children and use what works for each of them individually.
We must address, individually and collectively, moral and ethical issues raised by cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, which will enable significant life extension, designer babies, and memory extraction.
When you are developing something, you have to look at it individually. You can’t compare and contrast it to the projects around it, because that way madness lies.
In true, narcissistic fashion, when my father was diagnosed as a narcissist, he called us all up individually to tell us, and he did it with true pride.
Committee – a group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done.

Men, who are rogues individually, are in the mass very honorable people.
There’s always something that’s motivating you. There’s doubt about something that’s going on with you. Maybe it’s not individually, maybe it’s your position group, maybe it’s your side of the ball. There’s just always something that’s going to push you.
However, we couldn’t focus on the films much during the series because we’re dumb. Individually we’re smart guys, but together we’re one big dumb guy, and couldn’t concentrate on two things at once.
I won everything I could win with Bayern and individually.
Sometimes people think it’s what you say when you’re in a huge group that makes you a leader. But sometimes it’s the one-on-one conversations you have with guys individually, just getting to know them. I think I’ve done that a lot. Not intentionally – it just happens.
It is hard to feel individually responsible with respect to the invisible processes of a huge and distant government.
We don’t ever write stuff individually and say, ‘OK, this is gonna be the song.’ We bring in ideas in their rawest form and bounce them around to find the thing that is bigger than any individual’s idea.
Every player has their challenge to help the team. They all have a challenge individually and collectively to improve.
An exit is only a success if you set an exit as your primary goal. My primary goal was to build a globally influential tool, to build something from the ground up that could literally change how we communicated in business and individually.
I just wanted to compile these stories about growing up with my father and I wanted people to be able to enjoy them individually, but also the entire book as a whole.

What I do is I get the sheet music and I put it out for myself and then I use a visual tuner to go through each note individually. And every time I make a mistake, I start the song over again, so I use the muscle memory of intervals and then watching that tuner, and then a lot of repetition.
By the time Sonic Youth formed in 1981, my musical tastes had left the Dead behind, but I was always very proud of the fact that we had three different singers singing individually from different points of view, like the Dead.
I wrote ‘A Mindful Nation’ to promote the values of slowing down, taking care of ourselves, being kind, and helping each other. It seems to me that if we embrace these values individually, it will benefit us collectively. And our country will be a little bit better off as a result.
England have always had individually strong players, and I am a huge fan of Stevie Gerrard, who has the heart of a lion and is the icon of the modern footballer with his ability to attack and defend so well.
Education is critical not only to each one of us individually, but also to build the economic vitality of our state.
I prefer ensemble casts, but with games like ‘Resident Evil 6,’ where there’s just so much dialogue and recording mo-cap, or with ‘Resident Evil: Damnation,’ where the story pace is already set by a previous set of mo-cap actors, it makes more sense to do it individually.
