Alan Bennett is a starmaker; he’s the Simon Cowell of the theatre world! He’s a beautiful, beautiful man: completely humble and so accessible.
When I was 14, I spent a huge amount of time on the Internet, but not the Internet we know today. It was 1994, so while the World Wide Web existed, it wasn’t generally accessible. Prodigy and CompuServe were popular, and AOL was on the rise, but I didn’t have access to the web, and no one I knew had access to the web.
The tech industry’s love for scrappy, accessible founders adds to the pressure. You’re expected to lead by example, to roll up your sleeves, to know everything going on.
There is absolutely no point in not being a populist. What I feel emboldened to do is to take something which is a minority interest and make it accessible without dumbing it down. I’m such an enthusiast for peculiar things, things that are perhaps a bit avant-garde, and try and involve everyone.
To bring a large audience to a piece of serious music and make it accessible does not mean reducing it in any way. And I’ve learned that if something is good, even if it is a little difficult, people will get that it is good.

If you have a reasonable system for pursuing success, it can survive a lot of face-plants along the way. That knowledge makes success seem accessible. If you think successful people have some sort of superpower or special connections, why try?

A strong Commonwealth is built on a foundation of strong communities. Friendly, welcoming, bustling neighborhoods and downtowns. Great schools. Safe, accessible, attractive places to play. Growing local economies. And a belief that anything is possible.
I sort of try to write everything for me. I’m a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don’t remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. I’m trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so they’re accessible to everyone.
We’ve got over 1 million merchants who have claimed their businesses on Foursquare, running specials and doing other things. What we want to do is take these tools used by the 50-100 national retailers and make them accessible to our 1 million merchants. Then you’ve got something really powerful.
Let me say that if the political arena is your choice as you work to keep our democracy strong and our essential freedoms accessible for all, then that is what you should do, and I salute you. We need champions in all walks of our civic discourse.

I really connect to strong feminist writers that make their ideas accessible for the rest of the world.
The weather records of the U.S.A. are the best kept and most accessible in the world, thanks to consistent government/military taxpayer support. There are longer European data sets, but the U.S.A. data is enough to forecast major extreme events.

There can be crowd issues everywhere in cycling. But it’s a good thing for cycling that it’s so accessible for spectators. That’s why it’s so popular – because fans can get close to the road and the race. But you also have to be aware of the dangers.
In horror movies, you can write music that if it was performed on the concert stage would have the audience running out of the room with their fingers in their ears. But in a movie, all of a sudden it becomes incredibly accessible and appreciated.
When you’re not as accessible, you get in a tent and get in your own head, and you start doing things that are a little out of touch. I think we’ve seen it happen with certain artists… people can’t touch them; they’re not touching people. They’re only touching people in their circle.
A lot of science fiction is very accessible and very readable, but a lot of people are justifiably put off by the covers of spaceships – though that never put me off.

Reality isn’t straightforward or easily accessible.
O2O and all-in-one systems mean we have to make online and offline inventory accessible to each other. This is complicated both in terms of the technical aspect and in cost. A story sounds wonderful, but if it is too costly, it is not good. Technology has to match business.
From my first days in Washington D.C., where I rolled a whole four downtown blocks without seeing a single shop, cafe, bar or restaurant I could not access, to the beautifully accessible buses in New York City, I was in heaven.
It’s a really cool time for artists who want to strive for a little more depth in what they want to say to come forward. We live in a very fast world right now. We’ve got all this media and music which is so accessible to us, it’s here one minute gone the next.
I discovered the Internet. I started seeing how much company information was out there – they didn’t think it would be accessible to a middle-aged journalist sitting in her kitchen in England.
My goal is to make Italian food clean and accessible and beautiful and tasty, with simple ingredients that people can find at a local grocery store, because people don’t want to go to a gourmet shop in search of items that will sit in their pantry for years after they use just a teaspoon or pinch of them.
