I definitely feel like kids do look up to me as a potential role model. It’s an honor, but it can also be a burden. I may be on TV, but I’m also a teenager. I don’t get it right every time. But I always do my absolute best to stay above board in every way. My fans inspire me to be a better person.
Architecture is my work, and I’ve spent my whole life at a drawing board, but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.
I am excited to be working with the dedicated Four Seasons board and leadership team to build upon their reputation for industry-leading customer experiences while seeking out innovative ways to leverage technology that will help spur additional growth.
The College Board is officially a non-profit. But all that means is that it doesn’t have shareholders and that their financial accountings must be available to the public; it certainly doesn’t mean that they’re not also into making money.
Coaches who can outline plays on a black board are a dime a dozen. The ones who win get inside their player and motivate.
I recently had a few days off while shooting a movie in Budapest, so I took a cab from the set to the airport, looked at the departure board, and decided where I wanted to go right then and there. I spent four days in Rome and didn’t tell anyone I was going.
The best way I’ve learned to navigate pivotal moments in my career is by actively cultivating a personal board of directors. The most successful companies and nonprofits have strong boards to help guide them, so why not create our own? The needs are quite similar.
I was reading scripts, doing coverage, for CAA. Reading hundreds and hundreds of scripts across the board, from blind submissions to ‘Brokeback Mountain’. It was not always a pleasant task but something, in hindsight, I’m glad I did.
I’ve worked with a lot of gay and lesbian organizations. I sit on the board of the Empire State Pride Agenda. I’ve also done a lot of work for Broadway Care/Equity Fights AIDS. I think it’s important because, when we can be of service to others, it only enhances our lives. I’ve been helped a lot in my life.
If you don’t know how to hold a board, you’re going to look phony. That’s was the biggest pressure for me was to have that respect and to look up to that.
There’s a lot of administrator and ex-administrators and board of regents from Baylor that say that Art Briles was a scapegoat at Baylor. I’ve had calls from ex-chairmen of the board of regents there, current big booster there, lawyers that represent Baylor. I have not had one negative call about Art Briles.
I’m on the board of directors for Peace Now, which works tirelessly between the Palestinians and the Israelis to create peace in the Middle East and we’ve never been closer.
The critical reaction to ‘Bloom’ has been similar to ‘Brick.’ There are people on board with it and people who are not.
The idea, as a director, is to be able to bring everybody on board and to inspire and give energy to everybody and to explain specific color, specific ambience. I need to be very precise, but I think I’m a better director when I’m more a channeler than a dictator.
While the World Bank is an inter-governmental institution, drawing its funds from member governments and run by a board of directors nominated by member governments, its policies have increasingly become sensitive to civil society pressure and NGO agendas.
The board gets upset because I won’t take a raise, but I’ve got plenty of money.
The Olympics are just different. I’m not sure why; the pipe’s the same size, the board you’re riding is the same, you’re competing against pretty much the same people. But the Olympics is the Olympics, and I know it’s a really big deal.
I am for 100% equality across the board for everybody, in all walks of life.
I mean, it’s pretty disillusioning for all of us right now, and we feel pretty helpless when Congress, their approval rating is thirteen percent, and across the board, whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, you sort of want to walk in and fire everybody.
I have to also get into producing if I want to see these stories being made… Let’s venture out and do projects with people of different ethnicities: not just black but also Asian actors and Asian superhero films. Just an equality across the board.
Occupy has to continue as a bold, in-your-face movement – occupying banks, corporate headquarters, board meetings, campuses and Wall Street itself. We need weekly – if not daily – nonviolent assaults right on Wall Street.
At Participant, I am the board. I am the sole greenlight at the company. If something happened to me, that would be a problem.
The best board members aren’t elected by default. CEOs that set themselves up with their choice of board member – which means getting more than one term sheet and doing extensive reference checking – are better off.
People never knew we were poor, but out of that poverty came the most incredible inventions – board games, recipes… we never stopped inventing.
Because my musical background is so diverse, it lends me to have very much my own style and it helps me to relate to the music as I’m going to play it. I just write. And if it comes out country, it’s a country song. The funny thing is, I write all across the board. I just write what hits me at the time.
I’ll paddle board, swim in the ocean, roll in the sand, soak up the sun, eat good food, be with friends and family and go fishing with my dad.
I love any type of cheese, preferably on a large board with a glass of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
No one person controls Microsoft. The board and the shareholders decide whether they want to have me as CEO.
Fresh snow is amazing. The board is real different… it floats on the powder and goes really fast. If you’re riding a long board, it’s more like surfing than skiing.
It’s hard if you don’t quite feel on your game to go out and put scores on the board.
Lots are written about how ‘she shows up at board meetings in the saree.’ My God, I have never worn a saree to board meetings; people play it out in different ways. I think I have never shied away from the fact that I am an Indian, and I don’t intend to, but you can be at home with both cultures.
I don’t like board games.
Before I went to Juventus, I made a final promise to the board at Barcelona. I said, ‘You’re going to miss me.’ I didn’t mean as a player. Barca have plenty of incredible players. What I meant was that they were going to miss my spirit.
With two people and luggage on board she draws four inches of water. Two canoe paddles will move her along at a speed reasonable enough in moderate currents.
Now that I’m with RCA, they were able to get radio on board, and it’s just really awesome to see their support and ‘What Ifs’ going to No. 1.
In a period of economic downturn, the overwhelming instinct is to pare back, cut costs, and lay off. If you do that, do so with your strategy in mind. The worst mistake is to cut across the board. Instead, reconnect and recommit to a clear strategy that will distinguish yourself from others.
I roughly draw the scene beforehand to be more confident on the set. Instead of talking and explaining certain things, I try to visually communicate the scene to my team with the story board. This is how I work.
The fact is that the College Board’s products – the SAT, other standardized tests, the accompanying strategy guides – are sold at far higher than the cost to make them.
What you do is, you have your drawing board and a pencil in hand at the telescope. You look in and you make some markings on the paper and you look in again.
Selling a film option and getting a studio on board can be a slow process, and until things are official, you never want to spill the beans.
I am the daughter of the Chairman of the Board and thus, was raised with great music.
The first ‘Wii Fit’ games I tried were the slalom and ski jumping. I believe my spectacular failures here had more to do with the board resting on thick carpet than my shoddy balance.
There’s always plays that Coach Reid just draws up every single week. I always say that they always work. He just gets on the board in his room and just starts drawing plays. The possibilities are endless.
I don’t like leaving work behind. I hate the idea that something might be happening on the drawing board at home that I am going to miss.
Reality programming and social media make the game board bigger; they increase the number of runners on the track, each lunging at the finish line to be the first chest to hit the tape.
My view is that at a certain age – and we can debate whether that age is 70-72 or 75 – members need to step off boards. As per the banking guidelines, that age for the director on a board today is 70.
My dad is a very good sounding board. He’s very, very smart. Both of my parents are very, very sharp, much smarter than I, I’m happy to acknowledge.
My big mission in life is to get guys out of those big, baggy board shorts down to their knees. It always looks like they’re trying to hide something, like skinny legs.
The election of Trump threw the chess board up. The pieces are all over the place. That’s upsetting to a lot of people, but what I think is there’s a lot of fertile ground for good ideas.
There’s a fine line between saying, ‘You can’t tell me what I can and can’t do,’ and taking on board people’s opinions.
