I make an attempt to do different kinds of films. There’s no such formula for guaranteed success.
There is no formula for success. All you need to do is put in your best and be blessed with some good luck as well.
There is no guaranteed formula. And that’s one of the interesting things about filmmaking. You could put $115 million in, and it doesn’t guarantee success.
Perhaps future space probes will be plastered in commercial logos, just as Formula One cars are now. Perhaps Robot Wars in space will be a lucrative spectator sport. If humans venture back to the moon, and even beyond, they may carry commercial insignia rather than national flags.
I try not to observe myself in the process of composing a poem because I don’t want to come up with a formula, which I would then be unscrupulous in using.
I’m an extremist so I’m either hated or loved. I think it’s down to when I first got to Formula One not always knowing what I was saying, saying things that mean one thing but people were taking the other way and then people don’t forget.
There is so much more demand for Formula One than it can supply. You have governments investing in circuits all over the world, and the private sector sometimes has a tough time competing with that.
Winning the Indy 500 in 1995 and the Formula 1 championship in 1997 are very special moments for me, and the people in NASCAR show me respect for what I’ve achieved so far in my career.

What people are now realizing is that this formula that technology destroys jobs and creates jobs, even if it’s basically true, it’s too simplistic.
After I tasted success with erotic thrillers, a time came when I was being offered only films belonging to that genre. The industry loves repeating a success formula, and the audience had formed a certain image of mine in their minds.
The formula to my music is that it has to have comedy in it. The vulgarness cannot be digested without a little comedy.
It is exciting to see the different genres that audiences want to watch. The response to a show like ‘Mirzapur’ last year and to Delhi Crime earlier this year was so encouraging and a proof that good content is the new formula.
If ‘Emotions in Motion’ comes out right, I can write the book on the formula rock star.
One of the issues that I’ve raised on the Foreign Relations Committee, and I raised it when Secretary Locke came for his confirmation hearing, is, you know, it is in our benefit to develop a workable, positive formula with China.
There is no formula that will guarantee success in forecasting, no magic words that will part the clouds. The real problem, as the old saw puts it, is that the future lies ahead.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting distributes an annual appropriation that we provide in accordance with a statutory formula, the vast majority of which goes directly to public radio and television stations.
‘MSKS’ is a commercial film with all the usual formula. But, as with my earlier films, there will be a strong social message.
People are fed up of formula films, and we are getting new space to experiment.
In Formula E, because it has that structure of being quite cost-controlled and partly standardised, it means a small team or big manufacturer, if you get it right you have a chance for success which is great.
It’s always been my formula to get the next picture set up before anyone’s seen the last one.
Do you have any ambitions outside racing? My main ambition at the moment, whether inside or outside racing, is to become Formula 1 World Champion.
I love racing, I love racing everything really – karts, anything – so I do need to keep doing that. But the focus is on Formula One.

If you come to Formula One you have already proved that you are able to adapt and learn and be fast.
I think what makes things interesting in Formula E, and I really hope it happens with me, is that many drivers are able to win the race. Maybe many drivers can win the championship.

For the myth is the foundation of life; it is the timeless schema, the pious formula into which life flows when it reproduces its traits out of the unconscious.
The combination of a workable basic formula and the capacity to improve over time is what one hopes for in any aspect of society: business, government, the non-profit sector.
I haven’t stuck to any formula. Most great writers stick to the same style, but I wanted to be more various.
There is a formula that allows you to write a decent song. But a song like ‘You’re All I Need to Get By,’ it just writes itself.
What a fine line there is between artistry and insanity. There’s no formula for it, and I think a lot of people when they’re around you – even those closest to you – when you’re in that whirl of creativity and you’re grabbing those things out of the air, there’s no rational process.
I’m asked to drive touring cars, I’m asked to drive IndyCar, but I think Formula One is much more hi-tech and that’s where I want to be in as long as I can.
Not everyone is born to run a $4 billion company. There is no magic formula. I’ve learned, and I’ve grown by learning. That’s why I’ve enjoyed being in business so much: It’s stretched me.
Country taught me how to sing, it put me on a path. But I was never going to be locked into a formula. I don’t want to be considered a current country artist.
I don’t want to just stay desperately in Formula 1. That’s not my style, that’s not what I’m looking for. After 10 years in Formula 1 that’s not what I’m after.
In its truest manifestation, where it gives judgments, poetry is super-luxury. It would be interesting to see what would happen to a High Court judge if he were forced to follow the true poetic formula, doing the job for love, being forced into pubs for relief.
The formula to beat the press is simple; it’s the execution that’s tough. If you have the quality to do so, you pass your way through it. And if you don’t, you just boot it over the top. And then it becomes a game of winning ‘second balls’.
Sometimes in Formula One the fans are too far away from what is going on the track.
No Botox, no facelifts. I’ve had two laser surgeries for my eyesight, that’s it. The rest is down to good genes and my unique personal formula for good health.
Number one, like yourself. Number two, you have to eat healthy. And number three, you’ve got to squeeze your buns. That’s my formula.
There can be no technique or formula for creativity.
I’ve watched ‘Senna’ – a documentary film about a Formula One driver – three or four times now. I’m not a massive Formula One fan but I watch it and think ‘God, what a waste.’
It’s not much different to Formula One where they are improving the cars constantly. The difference is every hand biker needs a different bike depending on their residual ability.
Somewhere around the fifth, sixth album, we got this little formula together where we knew how to record Too $hort songs. You need the bassline, a good drum pattern, call in the keyboard, the guitars – it’s just a way we mixed it all together.
Obviously, we’re never going to say what the Krabby Patty secret formula is.
Everybody has a different way of getting somewhere and it’s not the same formula for everyone.
I’m very happy to be joining the Venturi Formula E Team and the Formula E championship, which has become a magnificent competition in such a short space of time.

The meaning of the word ‘remake’ has changed so much over the years that from being a channel through which the younger generation heard classic melodies, it has now become a formula, a business model.
I almost write to formula, because there’s a historical beginning, then the plots get convoluted.
That’s the only difference in Formula E from other championships – it’s more unpredictable.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
