The intrusions of the white race and the non- compliance with treaty obligations have been followed by atrocities that could alone satisfy a savage and revengeful spirit.
Most bands have a sound that they’re already identified with, so for the producer it becomes a process of helping them find their muse in the studio to make a record that will not only satisfy them artistically, but will also do something in the marketplace.
Well, I’ve had a lot of different experiences in music over the years. And not everything you do can satisfy everybody’s idealised version of you.
Endings are the toughest, harder than beginnings. They must satisfy the expectations you have hopefully generated in your reader – not frustrate them, leave the reader grasping at elusive strings.
Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.
Business is a very beautiful mechanism to solve problems, but we never use it for that purpose. We only use it to make money. It satisfies our selfish interest but not our collective interest.
If I snack, it’s generally hummus on Rice-Thins or Nut-Thins crackers and some guacamole. If I need something sweet, I have dark chocolate chips stashed in my freezer, and I’ll eat a few to satisfy my sweet tooth – but only if there aren’t any cinnamon gummy bears around. I’m a sucker for those!
A star is different, and an actor is different. But there is an actor in every star, and they, too, look for challenging roles to satisfy the actor in them.
I love actors, both my parents were actors, and the work with actors is the most enjoyable part of making a film. It’s important that they feel protected and are confident they won’t be betrayed.

If doing something with second-rate effort satisfies you, find something else to do – where only your best effort will satisfy you personally.
Obviously ‘Pete’s Dragon’ is more commercial than ‘A Ghost Story,’ but when making them, I’m just trying to tell a story that matters to me, that ultimately would satisfy me as a moviegoer. Because watching movies is my favorite thing to do. I watch a lot of them.
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
