It’s important to remember that, in the 1930s, a lot of people in the West looked at communism as a pretty good idea. That was partly because they didn’t know how bad things were on the communist side of the world, but it was also partly because things were bad in the West.

I have a really good idea for a novel and would like to just kind of try my hand at fiction. I’m starting to kind of get a really good body of work going from a literary standpoint. As long as the audience is there, man, I’ll keep cranking them out.

I don’t think facing one of your own active pitchers would be a good idea, unless I got super lucky and hit a ball through the middle or something. That would not be good. I’d pull every muscle in my body.
Entrepreneurs always pitch their idea as ‘the X of Y’, so this is going to be ‘the Microsoft of food.’ And yet disruptive innovations usually don’t have that character. Most of the time, if something seems like a good idea, it probably isn’t.

‘Bigg Boss’ is one show that I can never be a part of. I am very restless as a person, so keeping me locked won’t be a good idea.
I was always the kid at school who thought it was a good idea to set off the fire alarm. And much as I’m aware that that’s a trait which also propels other things which are good, I wish I could just pause and go, ‘Is this really what you want to do?’

Take Tom Sachs as an artist. His brain is more brilliant than anything, so of course, anything he puts out over a ten-year period is going to continue to be super relevant. But if you look at some artists, they have one good idea, but unless you know where it’s coming from, it’s not going to be lasting.
No, I haven’t taken training as such but I used to attend all those 7 day workshops before the play. Those workshops aren’t so professional but it’s enough to give you a good idea what acting is all about.
There’s a lot of animals in the open ocean – most of them that make light. And we have a pretty good idea, for most of them, why.

If having a beautiful lawn means putting up warning signs several times a year to keep children and pets off of it, it’s probably a good idea to look into alternatives.
I’m one of those people that thinks the world changes in smaller and in more mysterious ways than a lot of people like to think. A lot of traditional charities and organizations do things that on the surface seem like a good idea, but it doesn’t change the way that people think about interacting with other people.
See, I don’t know nothing about singing. I never wanted to be a frontman. Frontmen had big egos and was always crazy and aggravating. I just never thought that was a good idea.
I was like, ‘You know what, I’m going to try a juice cleanse.’ I’d never done it before but I thought it was a good idea. I was miserable. I wanted food, I was cranky and the bottom line is I don’t think I will ever do that again.
I have no plans for a future Jemima Shore mystery, but would write one tomorrow if a good idea came to me.

Everybody has a good idea, but nothing goes as planned.
Being a talented artist is good, it’s nice, but it’s not the most important thing. I think being a good storyteller, having a good idea, a good gag, is probably more important than being a great artist.
