Science and vision are not opposites or even at odds. They need each other. I sometimes hear other startup folks say something along the lines of: ‘If entrepreneurship was a science, then anyone could do it.’ I’d like to point out that even science is a science, and still very few people can do it, let alone do it well.

My vision is that I’m living to see two more daughters get married, dance at their weddings and then lift the Lombardi Trophy several times.
A lot of times, people start out with a lot of good ideas, but then they don’t execute. They lose the purity of their vision. You end up running around in circles.

You can have fantasies about having control over the world, but I know I can barely control my kitchen sink. That is the grace I’m given. Because when one can control things, one is limited to one’s own vision.

I have always been up for risks, but only because I had full confidence and faith in the vision of my directors.
Why be in music, why write songs, if you can’t use them to explore life or an idealized vision of life? I believe a lot of our lives are spent asleep, and what I’ve been trying to do is hold on to those moments when a little spark cuts through the fog and nudges you.
Cynic, n: a blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.
It is not about gender, it is about experience, leadership, and vision.
Do not give up your dream because it is apparently not being realized, because you cannot see it coming true. Cling to your vision with all the tenacity you can muster. Keep it bright; do not let the bread-and-butter side of life cloud your ideal or dim it.
There have been situations where the people you’re around have one vision for you, and it’s like trying on a jacket that doesn’t fit.

The short-term vision is: I research on something which I can use tomorrow, and for some politicians it is even better if it’s today. But if you do this, you can only do targeted research. If you only do targeted research, you lose the side-routes.
If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only too make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better.
When you direct a movie, you’re basically looking at a story, the way you want to look at it. You bring that director’s vision, and I’m totally open for that.
