I’m fundamentally a positive person. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be doing some of the insane movies that I do.
A mission statement is not something you write overnight… But fundamentally, your mission statement becomes your constitution, the solid expression of your vision and values. It becomes the criterion by which you measure everything else in your life.
We think, fundamentally, that the future story of Latin America, not only of Mexico but for all of Latin America, will be constructed from the bottom – that the rest of what’s happening, in any case, are steps.
I think Hispanic community – the values that resonate in our community are fundamentally conservative. They are faith, family and patriotism. Do you know the rate of military enlistment among Hispanics is higher than any demographic in this country? And they are also hard work and responsibility.
Fundamentally, if people don’t feel like their lives are valued and they don’t value their lives, they’re not going to value their neighbors’ lives.

Kids who I grew up with, who I played ball with, basketball, baseball, and went to parties with – for whatever reason – they ended up in a fundamentally different place than I did. I’m the attorney general of the United States and they are ex-felons.
Diplomacy is fundamentally working with people, bringing people together to deal with difficult issues.
I don’t believe that the problems in the VA are necessarily about money. When I look back over the problems of the VA over the past decade, this is fundamentally a system that hasn’t kept up with modernization in the way that the rest of health care in the private sector has.
You know, all work has dignity. I fundamentally believe that. So all paychecks must have dignity.
Legislation that would withhold funding for the United Nations is fundamentally flawed in concept and practice, sets us back, is self-defeating, and doesn’t work.

I think it’s a mistake to treat different realms of knowledge as if they are some how fundamentally the same.
America has had an influence on me, as has going out with a Cuban-American guy and having lots of American friends. But I am still fundamentally British and speak with a British accent and feel very English.
I am quite a shy person. You say that to people, and they say, ‘You do interviews, speeches. How can you be shy?’ But, fundamentally, I am.
Fundamentally, the office of the presidency and its very first responsibility is to protect us as Americans and tell us how that commander in chief is going to execute on it.
Well I think fundamentally, what I think surprises me is the creationist movement, and the notion that somehow you can’t believe in God if you believe in evolution. But I don’t think there’s anything in the Bible which prevents a recognition that evolution is a highly plausible way that we came to be here.
Fundamentally there is a narrative around where innovation can come out from.
For the Conservative Party to become the mouthpiece of energy monopolists is not only a political error; it is fundamentally at variance with the liberal economics they claim to espouse.
I deeply believe that if the Australian Labor Party, a party of which I have been a proud member for more than 30 years, is to have the best future for our nation, then it must change fundamentally its culture and to end the power of faceless men. Australia must be governed by the people, not by the factions.
We have to be bold, tough, and fundamentally change government because Springfield is broken.
I think, fundamentally, open source does tend to be more stable software. It’s the right way to do things.
I fundamentally believe in freedom and human rights.
Personally, my interest in social history ends around 1959, by which time I was an adolescent. I’ve always attributed this to my particular sensibilities. I like formality and elegance, and I’m fundamentally conservative.
Conversely, conservatives assume that humans are fundamentally lazy and prone to immorality. In this view, the entitlement system coddles and rewards laziness. This cynicism spills over into their view of government and government ‘bureaucrats.’ It also spills over into their political tactics.
Take, therefore, what modern technology is capable of: the power of our moral sense allied to the power of communications and our ability to organize internationally. That, in my view, gives us the first opportunity as a community to fundamentally change the world.
My biggest problem in live games is that I love the game so much and I don’t think I ever met a poker player I didn’t fundamentally like – even if they’re screaming and they’re acting like real jerks.
The Trump economy is fundamentally strong and delivering good jobs and higher earnings for the working Americans who suffered in the years of stagnation.
Some Jews and Muslims accuse Christians of being idolatrous for believing in the Trinity. My response to both groups is that they fundamentally misunderstand the Christian understanding of the Trinity.
You realize that if you’re in the media business, technology is fundamentally what’s driving the change in that business.
Your mom is the first person you fall in love with, so it’s loaded forever and carries all this baggage. There’s almost always a communication barrier in place. In my case it’s a language and cultural barrier, but other times, it’s because your mother’s love is conditional or because you’re fundamentally different.
Deterrence is still fundamentally about influencing an actor’s decisions. It is about a solid policy foundation. It is about credible capabilities. It is about what the U.S. and our allies as a whole can bring to bear in both a military and a nonmilitary sense.
People think of fortune cookies as being Chinese, but in essence, they are fundamentally American.
Fundamentally, legislation that is historic, that is comprehensive, that has a large number of senators supporting it is more durable.
Fundamentally, I always find that most of the films that I’ve put out are essentially the director’s cut. Part of the process with a director’s cut is the leaving behind of certain aspects of the movie that we don’t feel necessary because they aren’t part of the dynamic of the story.
I think I’d be more relaxed as an older mum, although fundamentally life with a baby is pretty much the same whatever age you are. It’s nappies, crying, feeding.
The issue of corruption in the humanitarian system is not an issue which is fundamentally different from dangers of corruption in other areas. One of the best ways to strengthen accountability is to engage in principled and law-based humanitarian action.
I’ve been in journalism my entire adult life and have often defended it against fellow conservatives who claim the news business is fundamentally corrupt.
I believe that people are fundamentally are decent. And, yes, you will have people that sometimes will misbehave.
Fundamentally, what you’re trying to do when you’re directing is get a group of people who most likely have never met, unify them, and make sure that we’re all clear on what we’re marching towards.
The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.
‘The Magic Flute,’ I think, is fundamentally asking what is it to change people’s consciousness.
We have all these strong men in politics – whether it’s Brazil, or the Philippines, or Trump, or Putin. They’re all big men: it’s let’s look up to them, don’t be afraid, they’re looking after things. It’s so fundamentally anti-democratic.
Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
Approaches to determining stock values vary, but fundamentally, each company judging itself undervalued is saying that its future stream of earnings justifies a higher price than the stock market is willing to accord it.
Fundamentally, the way I work is exactly the same whether I’m making ‘Whale Rider’ or ‘Mulan’. And those two stories are somewhat similar. They have interesting parallels, and it felt like I’d really come full circle, back to a story of leadership.
The death penalty system is fundamentally flawed – it is inequitable, ineffective, and it has no place in this Commonwealth or this country.
People are leaving trails everywhere they go; automated web crawlers tell you an awful lot about their social activities. The flow of information in fundamentally unobtrusive ways into social control organisations has risen dramatically.
Fundamentally, the answers to our challenges in healthcare relies in engaging and empowering the individual.
I’m fundamentally a busy person; I spend my time doing useful things and profoundly useless things!
I believe people are fundamentally good and want to find things that make life better for themselves. There are social dynamics for people that work, and there are ones that are pathological. But beneath every ‘no’ lays a ‘yes’ that had never been broken. I put my life-faith in that.
