Silos and bureaucracy are well-oiled machines in corporate America, but they are ultimately perpetuated by individual behavior. If we start behaving differently, we can create change. In other words, shifting your focus onto the team – or the ship as a whole, not just yourself – will have meaningful impact.

You work with every actor differently. It’s like if you’re a mother, if you have children, some children need more discipline. Other children, you back off of a little bit and let them be. It’s the same way with actors. Some actors need a lot of hand holding. Other actors like to be let be, and you let them go.
Men and women study things differently, and it’s not because of our chromosomes. It’s a product of our cultural conditioning.

Both my parents are artists, so that just makes me look at everything slightly different. I listened to different music; I dressed differently. So I kind of grew up without following the pack.
‘Hellraiser’ was what ‘Hellraiser’ was. It was a $900k movie, and there wasn’t anything I would have done differently. But ‘Nightbreed’ was taken away from me. It was thought that its meaning wasn’t… Its meaning didn’t chime with the producers.

Of all the unhappiness I went through, you must know I wouldn’t live a moment of my life differently for what I have now. Would I do it all again? I wouldn’t want to, but if it got me to the same place, yeah, I’d do it. Because I realize now that God would not give more than I could handle.
Stress is a byproduct of subconscious beliefs you have about the world. You can’t choose not to believe something. You believe it because you think it’s true. To eliminate stress, you must learn to challenge these beliefs so that you see them differently.
Artists realise that mathematicians have a way of looking at the world that can make them see things differently.
I think the graphic novel form works, in practice, a lot differently from watching a movie. You can put it down and pick it back up whenever you want – something you can’t do in a theater.
I was a woman in a man’s world. I was a Democrat in a Republican administration. I was an intellectual in a world of bureaucrats. I talked differently. This may have made me a bit like an ink blot.
One of the biggest ways to level the playing field is to give all young people the same context on what opportunities are out there. And that means touching on some of the questions that are a little taboo in society: How much money do you make? What are your stresses? What would you do differently if you could?

The post-crisis perception, at least in the media, appears to be one of Americans being held down by Wall Street, by big companies in the private sector, and by the wealthy. Capitalism is on trial. I see it a little differently. If a lender offers me free money, I do not have to take it.
You get really scrappy when you’re making things for zero dollars, and you just have to keep thinking like that. It’s not like, ‘Oh, we now have a little bit more money, let’s do things differently.’ If you just keep boiling it down to the simplest possible way to make it, I think that always ends up being the best.
