I think one of the key differentiators I bring to the table as a venture capitalist is a solid understanding of the public markets and how they operate.
I operate on anger quite a lot. Its what gets me up in the morning to make art quite often. Well, irritation at least.

I kind of think that’s the best way to operate; even when I’m in sessions writing with other artists, I’m always pulling from the kind of emotions that are the most raw in my own life and offering them up in the studio.
We’ll try to include Iraqi officers in our staffs. We will do everything we can to empower Iraqi security forces to stand up on their own and operate where they can alone.
I operate from a place of like water on a duck’s back. When things are thrown at me or said to me that aren’t worth my time, they don’t register with me. Like it just rolls off my back.
Obviously when you join a team everything is new and you have to get to know the people and how they operate.
It always surprises me when donors who operate successful businesses assume that just building a school structure means that a community now has access to education. When creating a business, does renting an office space now mean that you’re producing goods, training staff and generating revenues?
Many people see technology as the problem behind the so-called digital divide. Others see it as the solution. Technology is neither. It must operate in conjunction with business, economic, political and social system.
Our government should never stop anyone from practicing their faith or exercising their rights to operate a business if it can be done in a safe manner.
You can’t operate by hindsight.
People think that the arts are optional and they aren’t. They teach a level of emotional depth that’s equally important to mathematic skill. You can replace some math skills with a calculator if you know how to operate the thing, but there’s no calculator for human interaction.
Businesses should be assured that law enforcement will operate with the utmost sensitivity toward victims of cyber attacks.
Most people assume that women are responsible for households and child care. Most couples operate that way – not all. That fundamental assumption holds women back.
We want to feel hyper-alive, and it’s like, the more cartoonish and grotesque the level we can operate at, the better. It’s like the world we live in has become quite safe in a lot of ways, and it has become harder to genuinely transgress. But the desire to transgress is a real feeling.
For a while I thought about studying medicine at school and becoming a doctor because I’ve always been interested in psychology and how people’s minds operate. But I’m able to explore some of that as an actor and ultimately I think it seems more interesting.

I have five major corporations, and I operate them. How could I be retired?
I don’t think that there is absolute freedom of the press. We operate under laws – against libel, for instance. The idea that there is some absolute press freedom is kind of a myth.
No more than a surgeon can operate while tweeting can you reach your potential with one ear in, one ear out. You actually have to reacquaint yourself with concentration. We all do.
A shortage is a sign that somebody is keeping the price artificially lower than it would be if supply and demand were allowed to operate freely.

We’ve all seen ‘Network’ and ‘Wag the Dog,’ but we were somehow insulated by the fact that those were just movies, fictions, and we could rest easy that the Real News doesn’t operate that way. Well, it does – sometimes.
Planes don’t fly, trains don’t run, banks don’t operate without much of what IBM does.
I think that whenever businesses harm the economy, harm workers, harm consumers, or undermine human rights in any way, then it is the role of the government to make sure that they don’t do that and to make sure that markets are fair and they operate properly.
I operate a pretty strict muting and blocking policy on Twitter.
We want our men and women to be closely attuned to the cultures in which they operate and to speak the local language.
Seeing how those companies operate, it didn’t amount to a massive vote of confidence in their artists. There was talk of me going to Columbia after that, but nothing happened. I got disillusioned, and I pulled back.
Truth is eternal, unchanging, though circumstances may and do operate to give a different colour to it, in our view, at different times. And truth will prevail, and those who do not yield to it must be destroyed by it.
Political parties – which too often operate like closed circles – must open up.
Congress created tax-exempt 501(c)(4)s to operate exclusively for social welfare purposes like early childhood education, environmental protection, and veteran’s assistance. However, an IRS regulation allows 501(c)(4)s to operate primarily for the promotion of social welfare.
Poetic talent doesn’t operate in a vacuum. There is a spirit of Polish poetry.
There are not many companies in China that dare to say in public, ‘We don’t offer bribes’, or companies that operate only by market rules.

There is not a lot known about the informal economy, and yet it makes over 60% of the global economy. And these black markets are all around us. It’s important for us to know that and to understand how they operate if we really want to stop them.
You can’t have virtue without sin. What I’m after is having my characters’ virtues defined by how they operate in a very sinful environment. That’s how you test people.
I’ve always liked depressing music because a lot of times, listening to it when you’re down can actually make you feel less depressed. Also, even though a person may have problems with depression, sometimes you can actually be kind of comfortable in that space because you know how to operate within it.
I resent the fact that people in places like Boston, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco believe that they should be able to tell us how to live our lives, operate our businesses, and what to do with the land that we love and cherish.

I’m easily destroyed and I operate on emotional levels.
What I dislike about movie culture is that it often presents a parable of our problems – but the issues are all straightforward and the people are either nice or they’re not. In real life, everyone falls between those perimeters, but not many American films operate in that grey area.
I think words operate like musical notes that the eyeball hears.
Our operations in China are materially similar to our U.S. peers who also operate and have employees there.
With a successful center-right party such as ours, it is hard for the radical right to find room to operate. This is why they repeatedly attack us in the ugliest manner. They attack us more than they attack the Jewish community or the ‘Jewish conspiracy’ – which they believe exists. I am one of their main targets.
Perseverance is an active principle, and cannot continue to operate but under the influence of desire.
Copyright’s democratising effect is seen most clearly in the music business. Anyone who can speak, sing, rap or hum and operate a simple sound recorder can create a copyright song. Imagination is the only limit.
Well, because my films are really about how people interact with each other, and the complexity, and the nuance, and the surprise of those moments I try to create a safe enough space that allows the actors to operate from their own instincts. My direction is more suggestions, prompts or questions.
