We’d all like to be in the business where we don’t have to report our numbers, too. You’re dealing with a Netflix and an Amazon that don’t have to report their viewership. They’re not sharing those numbers, so how do you work with a creative entity to renegotiate future seasons when nobody has metrics?
Each book is a separate entity for me. When I’m writing it, I enter its world and inhabit its vocabulary. I forget, as it were, that I ever wrote anything else.
Hezbollah is in Syria and Iraq and Yemen, so people should not focus on Hezbollah that it’s a Lebanese entity only, but it’s something regional.
I think of L.A. as my home now, in large part because I became the entity that I am in L.A. I always say to people that my coming-of-age happened in L.A., the unraveling of the person I was pretending to be for a long time, and then finding of the person I feel like I now am.
WWE is a global juggernaut; it is the pinnacle. It is a global entity. You have superstars from Australia, China, Japan.
Today the arts exist in isolation, from which they can be rescued only through the conscious, cooperative effort of all craftsmen. Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts.
If you make something, it’s an artifact. It’s something that somebody or some corporate entity has caused to come into being. A great many human beings have thought about each of the artifacts that surround us. Different degrees of intelligence and attention have been brought to bear on anything.
No self-respecting country – especially one with our clout and proud history – should sign up to a proposal that surrenders the power to veto our foreign and trade policy to another entity.
The truth is that just as the ‘West’ is not a homogenous entity with one view on foreign and domestic policy, nor are Muslims.
I’m not going to tell the Palestinians how to arrange themselves. If they want to have their own entity and their own parliament as they do today, that’s fine. If they want to connect to Jordan, which has a very big Palestinian population, and vote in the Jordanian government, that’s fine.

I just don’t think I’ve ever been comfortable at public functions and selling myself as an entity.
The main thing that’s important to me is getting to do whatever project it is the way that I do what I do, and that’s different. To go to an entity – whether it’s a traditional film studio or some newer company, or HBO, Amazon or Netflix – they would have to know that I need to work the way I work.
I have a stronger personality than Shah Rukh. He is an entity on his own, and I don’t consider him a superstar when I’m with him in the house. He’s just my husband, and I respect him as that.
Being in a band is a really magical thing because you’ve got a family and you operate as this one entity. It’s very democratic; everyone is involved in the output. But within that, there can be a lot of disagreements and strife.

Imagine if someone like John Lennon or Bob Marley, Sid Vicious, Picasso, whomever, were doing their work, and some corporation, some CEO, some branding entity was saying to you, ‘Well, you can do that, but you’ve got to remove this aspect of your work.’ There would no longer be that purity anymore.
I don’t differentiate game design and script; it is one and only document. I think that one of the biggest problem with storytelling in games is that people tend to separate story and interactivity. Both should be conceived as one entity, each using the other.
On stage, I’m me. I’m a husband, I’m a dad, I’m a guy, I’m a mess – but I am a cohesive thing that you recognize as one human entity saying these things that he generally believes.

I am becoming a solution provider. I’m very happy. I don’t want to make this as a corporate entity. I want to make this as a local sanitary pad movement across the globe.
Writers who want to interfere with adaptations of their work are basically undemocratic. The book still stands as an entity on its own.
‘Margaret’ as a creative entity is something that I’m very happy and proud of. But ‘Margaret’ as a professional experience was a nightmare until it was rescued by critics and people who liked it.
‘Muslim’ is not a political party. ‘Muslim’ is not a single culture. Muslims go to war with each other. There are more Muslims in India, Russia and China than in most Muslim-majority nations. ‘Muslim’ is not a homogenous entity.
It is obvious that the Internet has become such a video-driven entity. With broadband becoming ubiquitous, viewers and advertisers are looking for professional-quality videos.
Ultimately, there is no entity called ‘government’; there are only people forming themselves into groups called ‘governments’ and acting in a ‘governmental’ manner.
Sci-fi novels are concerned with problems faced by all of humanity. Crises in sci-fi mostly threaten humanity as a whole. This is a unique and treasurable trait inherent in the genre – that the human race is perceived as a single entity, undivided.
I do think there’s a spiritual element in the world, yes. Have I experienced a ghost firsthand, per se? No. I guess I’ve experienced feelings or some kind of a presence. But I certainly haven’t seen any kind of transparent entity running around.
The less the ISIS ‘caliphate’ exists as a physical entity, the less the group can claim it is the ‘Islamic State’ that it purports to be.
Cash as a physical entity will virtually cease to exist, with coins and checkbooks consigned to museums. As people conduct their financial transactions on hand-held devices made secure by advanced biometrics, even tipping will be done electronically.
We all live in some kind of home, so the idea that our home could be invested with a supernatural entity is kind of frightening, I think.
I give up on pop music. As far as a commercial entity, as far as pop music goes, I quit; I absolutely throw in the towel. I can’t handle it. I can’t do it. I can’t be what they need you to be.
Fifth Harmony is an entity or identity outside all of us, and I don’t think anybody felt individually represented by the sound – we didn’t make it.
It’s basic due diligence to make sure that whenever a foreign entity acquires a controlling interest in a U.S. company that national security isn’t threatened.
We obviously – I’m from Michigan, so we saw a disproportionate number of these social media ads targeting us, targeting our population. So I want to close that loophole. That’s my amendment, so that no foreign entity can buy an ad for or against a candidate in our democracy.
Rather than a teaching tool, I think a novel is more of a witnessing entity. A witnessing entity? What is that? I just want the reader to step in and experience it as a story.

Start-ups often die in the first 18 to 24 months because of formative mistakes, like choosing a bad co-founder or the wrong corporate entity or an inappropriate platform. Ninety percent of the companies the Founder Institute has created are alive because we’ve helped them avoid those mistakes.
The enemy resembles us. Therefore, he needs to be approached not as an assembly of ‘targets’ to be destroyed one by one; but as a living, intelligent entity capable of acting and reacting.
The military is a discrete entity. Then they come back, and they’re such a small percentage of the population, and they can’t really – it’s hard for them to talk to civilians.

I have always thought we should think less about the British film industry as an entity, and more about getting British talent working.
Basically, after an ABC sitcom I did, I ended up with a holding deal with 20th Century Fox. Absolutely cool. It pays you to be unemployed. And the bigger the entity that gives you the deal, the better.
Hong Kong is not an independent entity… and cannot decide, on its own, its political development.
I look at is as one single entity. I dehumanize the audience. This way, I don’t get nervous, you know?
