Blake Mycoskie

Vaclav Smil
The only criticism heard with any frequency of Elton John’s first American album, ‘Elton John,’ was that the production was too grandiose. The melodies were superb, and lyrics frequently very good, and the performances flawless.

John L. Lewis
I loved comics for a long time, loved the medium, and I love where comics are going. It’s on the forefront of social issues, and there’s no production value limit, so you can create an entire world. As long as you can visualize it, you can make it a reality.
Lights
We did some jumping at the start of the show. We went out without telling anyone – and the studio liked to kill us. They were threatened with cancellation of their production insurance.
Ken Curtis
As I see it, if the production of a factory is expanding, and workers are satisfied, it’s OK for there to be a disparity. The best paid should be about three times more than the worst paid.
Lu Guanqiu
Taiwan must find its own way. We have been emphasizing too much the manufacturing business. We have to become more high-tech, more innovative, and provide more value. We can’t always insist on the value of low-cost production. We have to invest more in R&D to get high-value business.
Barry Lam
I think a lot of times our culture has an attitude toward art and the production of art that separates artists from the rest of us, like making art or music or painting or whatever is some magical thing that you have to be inspired to do, and special people do it.
Ann Leckie
When I first was exposed to ‘Porgy and Bess’ many, many years ago, I was blown away by it – loved the music, overwhelmed by the production at the Met that I saw, and thought I want to play Bess someday. But I also knew they were stereotypes that were considered racist.

Lennon Parham
You know the green grifters have no argument when they start raising the ‘no blood for oil’ cry on the blogs. Excuse me, if Obama’s make-sure-your-tires-are-properly-inflated administration would simply allow more energy production here in the U.S., that wouldn’t be a problem very long, would it?
Howie Carr
In live-action, writing, production, and editing happen

In live-action, writing, production, and editing happen in discrete stages. In animation, they overlap – happening simultaneously. This allows a real dialogue to occur between the writer, the director, the actors, and the editor, and it makes the writing process a lot more collaborative and a lot less lonely.
Michael Arndt
My mother’s side of the family was in the production side of theatre. My grandfather, Jose Vega, was a general manager for Neil Simon shows on Broadway.
Yancy Butler
If you ask what you are going to do about global warming, the only rational answer is to change the way in which we do transportation, energy production, agriculture and a good deal of manufacturing. The problem originates in human activity in the form of the production of goods.
Barry Commoner
You have those songs that are very special to you that you don’t want to get ruined by production. Something like ‘Start Again’ shouldn’t be touched. It’s a classic-sounding song on a piano and violins and harmonies, and I think those songs are perfect as they are.
Conrad Sewell

Gene Roddenberry
Meanwhile, the Ice Storm was still in development, And that was something I really wanted to do, and frankly I don’t think I was ready to do a big production like this.
Ang Lee
If I’m not moved by what happens at the end of this play, then I’ve completely failed, and so has the play, and so has our production. And if that’s the case then there really isn’t any reason to want to do it.

Martin O’Malley
Seen that way, the wholesale transformation of production technologies that is mandated by pollution prevention creates a new surge of economic development.

My work is made on lines similar to those of a film production. A lot of my work is kind of bureaucratic, endlessly phoning up people, trying to find the cameraman and the lighting man, because I am a total technology-phobe, quite helpless with equipment.
Sam Taylor-Johnson
I have more artistic control in a smaller show. But it doesn’t really matter. Sometimes you can have the smallest role in the smallest production and still make a big impact.

I have set up a production company and I am producing movies in Hollywood and that is going to be my focus.
Uday Chopra
It is obvious, moreover, that the formation of price in capitalist society must differ from the formation of price in social conditions based upon the simple production of commodities.
Rudolf Hilferding
So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.
William Morris
I take things on a day to day basis when it gets really hectic. But I do think long term and I’m looking forward to the next couple of years when I do start producing my own films with my production company and playing some characters that are older and that’s really exciting to me.

I think if I did something in the pop world right now, it would be for Rihanna. I’d love to do something production wise for her.
J. Cole
Pinchas Perry, the director of ‘The Chicago 8,’ offered me the role of the judge, and he did not know that, 35 years earlier, I’d played a judge in the theater production. So life has its own little twists and turns.

We are taking steps to fight the production of meth on

We are taking steps to fight the production of meth on our own soil through limiting access to precursor ingredients, supporting educational efforts and providing necessary resources to law enforcement.
Greg Walden
Country music is just country. It’s going to shift around a little bit, doing some different instrumentations, different production styles. But it will always come back to what you heard at the Opry. Nobody wants it to change.
Steven Curtis Chapman
My research, even before 1972, moved in directions beyond those cited for the Nobel Memorial Prize. Most of it, in one way or another, deals with information as an economic variable, both as to its production and as to its use.
Kenneth Arrow
Kmart uses such mass production that they are able to lower their prices. My hose, for instance, is made by the same factory, the same machines, the same threads as the hose made by four top designers.
Jaclyn Smith
The world of design has been subjugated by the rigors of manufacturing and mass production.
Neri Oxman
Melancholy has ceased to be an individual phenomenon, an exception. It has become the class privilege of the wage earner, a mass state of mind that finds its cause wherever life is governed by production quotas.
Gunter Grass
My way of remaining French was the financing scheme I used for Quest for Fire, with Fox funds, since it started as a 100% American production. The film was not in French and yet was French in style, reflecting my personality.
Jean-Jacques Annaud

Agriculture is now a motorized food industry, the same thing in its essence as the production of corpses in the gas chambers and the extermination camps, the same thing as blockades and the reduction of countries to famine, the same thing as the manufacture of hydrogen bombs.
Martin Heidegger
Design – pure beauty – will be number one at Fisker Coachbuild. We want to bring beautiful, desirable cars to the market, limit the production of each model, and do so with the highest quality.

Atom Egoyan
To be interested in food but not in food production is clearly absurd.
Wendell Berry
We are here predominantly to support independent filmmakers and their needs. We are also here to assist people actually in their production, non-commercial people in their production.

I run advertisements and sell T-shirts to cover overhead costs and pay the few people who help me out behind the scenes. Anything left over is spent on production costs, animation costs, etc.

Sean Bean
I was asked to do a reading of ‘G.B.F.’ and I loved the script. I thought it was one of the most amazing things I’d read, but it took a year to get a green light for production.
Sasha Pieterse
People are hungry for community. They’re hungry for meaning in a society that is oriented around the production and consumption of consumer goods.
Mitch Kapor
There are other ways of finding satisfaction, recipes for human happiness, enjoyment, dignified and meaningful, gratifying life, than increased consumption that increases production.
Zygmunt Bauman
The ephemeral part of this work is that in music production, the sounds evolve so much faster than it used to, which means that you really have to put in a lot of work and effort in constantly designing the next sound that will move the culture forward.
Steve Aoki
The development of civilization and industry in general has always shown itself so active in the destruction of forests that everything that has been done for their conservation and production is completely insignificant in comparison.
Karl Marx
What is good for General Motors is not good for America if General Motors is moving production out of the United States.
Pat Buchanan
I don’t know if I have a ‘Greatest Album Ever.’ I really liked ‘The Blueprint’ by Jay-Z. The production on that album was really great. ‘All I Need’ was the first song I used for walk-on music in 2002 for my second time ever on stage, so that means a lot to me.
Hannibal Buress
American products are marvels of production and functionality, but were unnecessarily and unbearably ugly, noisy smelly and offensive.
Raymond Loewy

Ada Yonath
Eventually though, I’d like to have my own production company. Then I could create great opportunities not only for myself, but for other actors as well.
Mario Lopez
We never thought it would be something everyone would listen to. We never thought people who listen to Britney Spears would run to listen to it. It was intended for people on the fanatical side of production and hi-fi.
Wayne Coyne
I like songs in all different genres and types. My prod

I like songs in all different genres and types. My production and songwriting is everything from pop rock to hip-hop and everything in between.
Alex Clare
When I was 19, 20 I faced rejections. When I turned 20 I signed my south film and by the time I was 23, I had done three south films. I would go to different production houses everyday for auditions and they would reject me saying you cant talk, smile, dance or act.
Nikki Tamboli
People began to understand that with the acquisition of California the nation had obtained practically half a continent, of which the future possibilities were almost unlimited, so far as the development of natural resources and the genera production of wealth were concerned.
John Moody
I know I can’t do everything myself. So I know I specialize in my melodies and I do some of my demo work. I pass it on to my producers who are much better at the production level.
Paul Taylor
I believe that experimenting is what production is. But it doesn’t mean much if you don’t have a solid foundation in what you’re experimenting with. You can’t really deviate from music unless you know music; it’s not gonna work.
El-P
Think of all the mesquite in Texas, the pinyon pines, the acorns in Appalachia, every place has the possibility of mass production. It’s an infrastructural system so nestled in ecology, it’s a more beautiful ecology.
Joel Salatin
The first step to optimising testosterone is eating right. That means cutting out the processed junk food and focusing on high quality proteins, carbs, fats, and an abundance of fruits and vegetables. Don’t fall into the ‘low fat’ eating trap, as this will seriously inhibit your testosterone production.
James Haskell
While filming ‘The Matrix,’ we studied how a Chinese fight-choreography team trains actors before production starts so that they can participate in action sequences in a more dynamic way.

You go see a great production of ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ where those kids are full of life and love, you hope and forget.
Leslie Odom, Jr.

Gabrielle Aplin
On the speech day, the production designer, who has a lot of say in things, and sometimes I didn’t agree with him but I had to do what I was told, wanted the speech day to be all in neutral colours for the women, which was a good thing.
Julie Harris
I had seen the ballet of ‘Swan Lake’ as a child but it was as an adult, when I saw a production featuring Erik Bruhn, that I first noticed how significant a part the ever-present threat of violence played. This juxtaposition of great beauty and grace with a backdrop of pure evil stayed with me for years.
Walter Dean Myers
Most artists have contracts directly with the record company, and when they do music, all of their music is owned by the record company. But I did mine through a production company.
Roy Ayers
Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn’t happened to us.
Vic Morrow
As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production of a perfect likeness in the masculine sex; while the production of a woman comes from defect in the active power.
Thomas Aquinas
Working for Disney for the last eight and a half years, people come and go – production staff and actors. I stepped onto the sound stage and it was a literal time warp.
Jacob Young
Modern sociology is virtually an attempt to take up the larger program of social analysis and interpretation which was implicit in Adam Smith’s moral philosophy, but which was suppressed for a century by prevailing interest in the technique of the production of wealth.
Albion W. Small
Any good production team is going to allow an actor to breathe life into the characters – that’s why they hired that woman, that man, whatever the case.
John DiMaggio
What started it all was the Kanye album, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.’ We started listening to that and just fell in love with it, fell in love with his production style.
Andrew Dost
By the immediate preservation of eggs for home consumption through the use of water glass or lime water, larger supplies of fresh eggs may be made available for marketing later in the season, when production is less and prices higher.
David F. Houston
I’m actually surprised how technical a lot of commercial wine production is. Things are done very much from an industrial chemistry point of view at certain price points, but that’s not the impression you get with wine.
Brian Schmidt
The most effective step that may be taken to increase the production of these crops is to enlarge the acreage devoted to them in the regions where they are grown habitually.
David F. Houston
I am but one member of a vast team made up of many organizations, officials, thousands of scientists, and millions of farmers – mostly small and humble – who for many years have been fighting a quiet, oftentimes losing war on the food production front.
Norman Borlaug
I want to do Hindi films, but a proper one and a good production. I’m even open to multi-starrers because those work better in Bollywood. But it should be with only Bollywood technicians, not the South Indian team. There’s no point to my going to Bollywood if I work with the same artistes and technicians.
Ravi Teja
Production for movies or TV is very painstaking and slow.
Mike White
In the southern half of the country perhaps no crop has larger possibilities for quick increase of production of food for both men and animals than the sweet potato.
David F. Houston
Russia’s oil fields are mature and require capital and Western technology even to keep production flat.
Roger Altman
If I do a play, it’s my vision, and everybody else is working on the production to support that. If I do an opera, I feel like part of my job is to support that composer, to try and create something that allows the composer to do his or her best work. In movies, it’s usually the director.
David Henry Hwang
Since the dawn of Louisiana’s modern-era film program in 2002, we have played host to more than $6 billion in film and TV production. We’ve developed an infrastructure that supports thousands of jobs, boosts small businesses and communities statewide, and provides a powerful impact that we seek to retain.
John Bel Edwards
I don’t know the law, the kind of law of quantity and quality, but I think the opportunity of people being able to express themselves and to have the means of production is a great thing. It’s also changing how we’re telling stories.
Keanu Reeves
I have chosen to keep my personal life separate from my music, as the two are exclusive from each other, and I want to remain that way. I’ll talk music, production, writing songs, touring with anyone but keep religion, politics and world affairs off the table, as my expertise is in songs and music.
Randy Bachman
Now it's a fully realized production but for the fact t

Now it’s a fully realized production but for the fact that we’re holding our scripts in our hand and some of us used them, and some of us didn’t and you have to by union rules hold the script. You don’t have to use them but you gotta hold them.
Blair Underwood
The big difference is the size of the crew and the flexibility of shooting because of the size. I mean, it’s crazy. So you can’t improvise, you cannot suddenly do something that comes to mind, whereas in a small production you have much more flexibility.
Bille August
I still remember my dismay in the summer of 2007 when – for the first time in the history of planet Earth – America’s share of auto production dropped below 50 percent.
Seth Shostak
One of the nicest things I ever read about our show was that a critic felt ‘Boardwalk Empire’ could be the beginning of the blur between television and cinema, because the production values are so high and the storytelling is so compelling.
Terence Winter
The first syndicating I tried was when two partners and I created a production company in 1952. We wanted to syndicate famous Bible stories and sell them for $25 a show.
Casey Kasem
Macbeth is a very popular play with audiences. If you want to sell out a theater, just mount a production of Macbeth. It’s a short play, it’s an exciting play, it’s easy to understand, and it attracts great acting.
Ian Mckellen
Like many works of literature, Hollywood chooses for its villains people who strive for social dominance through the pursuit of wealth, prestige, and power. But the ordinary business of capitalism is much more egalitarian: It’s about finding meaning and enjoyment in work and production.
Alex Tabarrok
From the 1970s, there has been a significant change in the U.S. economy, as planners, private and state, shifted it toward financialization and the offshoring of production, driven in part by the declining rate of profit in domestic manufacturing.
Noam Chomsky
Women account for about 70% of Africa’s food production and manage a large proportion of small enterprises. They are also increasingly represented in legislative and executive leadership positions.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
When I was 12, I played the Artful Dodger in Cameron McKintosh’s production of ‘Oliver!’ when it came to Toronto. Just getting the role shocked my whole family, and I don’t think I realized until then just how much I loved getting up in front of people and performing.
Jake Epstein
My identity has everything to do with me and my instrument. It doesn’t have to do with what production style I use, or how many people played on it, whether it’s sparse or grandiose or whatever. And I’m social, frankly.
Liz Phair
Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you’re working with an actor who’s just unbearable.
Jessica Lange
Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production; and the interest of the producer ought to be attended to, only so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer.
Adam Smith
Once I get out onstage, it’s the same sort of basic production that it is anywhere else. But I might be a little bit aware that there might be people I know out there, who wondered where I was.
Phoebe Snow
I think my own strengths are in television production.
Jim Henson
As a boy soprano in the high school choir, I later sang a solo during the carol service at Canterbury Cathedral, but I was too young to secure the Freddy Eynsford-Hill role in our production of ‘My Fair Lady’ – and far too timid to have thought to audition for it.
Hamish Bowles
Something is better than nothing. Doin’ anything for a man, there’s investments involved, there’s time and production. It’s better to give him ten bucks and get a record out than to never record the cat.
Brownie McGhee
Acting is more creative and liberating than production.
Abhay Deol
Today a record producer is even more involved and is often the production’s sole musician, one person playing all the instruments one-by-one.
Tony Visconti
I’ve always wanted my music to have that desperation, where you just want to strip your clothes off and run down the highway. I want the feeling where you don’t really know what to do with yourself – in the vocals, in the production. Everything.
Tove Lo
The gulf coast, we all know now, after Katrina, is responsible for 25 percent of U.S. production of natural gas. Following Katrina and Rita, almost 75 percent of the natural gas production in the gulf was shut down and not producing.
Mark Foley
Each individual garment has its own customizations based on a collaboration between us and the designer. We say what we think our woman wants, and they say, ‘This is what we think we can do with our production.’
Aslaug Magnusdottir
What I have appreciated about the ‘Call of Duty’ games is the scale of production. It’s not an indie game. It’s not trying to be an indie game. But I’ve genuinely been pretty consistently blown away by, wow, what an effort has gone into this.
Trent Reznor
I haven’t done any major filming with a major production company yet, but I’ve definitely done a lot of filming with a lot of professionals, filmers, and film little edits and put them up online. But I would definitely say that slope style skiers are entertainers as much as they are athletes.
Nick Goepper
It might be said that it is the ideal of the employer to have production without employees and the ideal of the employee is to have income without work.
E. F. Schumacher
Amazon is a corporation, not a philanthropic trust dedicated to the production of works of art and literature.
Nick Harkaway
We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.
Bob Graham
Meat production is one of the leading causes of climate change because of the destruction of the rainforest for grazing lands, the massive amounts of methane produced by farm animals and the huge amounts of water, grain and other resources required to feed animals.
Jane Velez-Mitchell
I think any song should sound good just played on a solitary instrument with the vocal. If you have those basics you have all you need. The production then just polishes that idea into the finished thing.
Gary Numan
My Food Network shows, ‘Emeril Live’ and ‘Essence of Emeril,’ are not in production right now, but I wouldn’t say that I’m necessarily leaving Food Network. I have a lot of television still in me. I enjoy teaching people, so it’s just a matter of time before I do something new.
Emeril Lagasse
I went to Los Angeles and enrolled in a production course at the University of California, Los Angeles. In the morning I attended industry meetings and in the evening, I would go for the course.
Uday Chopra
I did a production called 'Classical Savion,' where I d

I did a production called ‘Classical Savion,’ where I did some Shostakovich, Mendelssohn, Bach, Vivaldi, and all these great pieces.
Savion Glover
And after you’ve done the acting, there’s a lot of places you can put your input – in the editing, in the production of it, in the rewriting of it and so on.
Paul Reiser
We can track and see the production of single molecules, trace them and see how they assemble into structures.
Eric Betzig
History is often best told from the ground, out of a car window or in someone’s kitchen, not through some huge production mechanism or grand framing device.
Josh Fox
For film and TV, try to have a more conversational tone. For stage, you’ll need better diction and bigger vocal production.
Jason Fuchs
I’ve been more and more into production lately, and I really, really love that. I love recording.
Tom Petty
I support American energy production, and it will be produced by companies – Exxon, BP, Shell – and continue to support American energy.
Jeff Duncan
Sometimes when you get in this game, you think that you’re going to take off if you do a song with someone big. But that’s not the truth. Everything with you got to be good – the visual, the push, the production.
Gunna
Yes, I’m happy with Alan Ball’s production of my novels.
Charlaine Harris
I like to not be too involved in the beginning and during the process so as to keep this fresh look and be able to give constructive recommendation on the final production.
Guy Laliberte
I did a production of ‘Journey’s End,’ an RC Sherriff play about World War I, at the Edinburgh Festival. I was 18 and it was the first time that people I knew and loved and respected came up to me after the show and said, ‘You know, you could really do this if you wanted to.’
Tom Hiddleston
From the Olympian heights of an executive suite, in an atmosphere where your success is judged by the extent to which you can maximise profits, the overwhelming tendency must be to see people as units of production, as indices in your accountants’ books.
Jimmy Reid
Taking employment out of the country – now that’s taking away jobs. These shows employ a lot of people: production, post-production, music supervisors, camera people. A hundred people or more.
Corbin Bernsen
There’s no single company in the whole world that has a big-scale production base and at the same time has screening and distribution channels. Wanda Group is the first one in the world.
Wang Jianlin
Declining productivity and quality means your unit production costs stay high but you don’t have as much to sell. Your workers don’t want to be paid less, so to maintain profits, you increase your prices. That’s inflation.
W. Edwards Deming
I’m just focusing on ‘Let’s Stay Together’ and slowly building my production company. I’m trying to get into writing as well.
Kyla Pratt
I did all the work at the beginning up until the point where I couldn’t handle the increasingly heavy art production burden alone. I needed, and got, assistance.
Joe Shuster
The concept of ‘Blue’ is to transport its listeners to a different world with music. And I chose to release a full-length album because it enables me to experiment with many different production styles, not just a single sound, and take listeners on a journey.
Jonas Blue
All novelists must form their personal pacts in some way with the slowness of their craft. There are some who demand of themselves a ‘rate of production,’ for whom it’s a matter of pride to complete, say, a book every year.
Graham Swift
A lot of artists who have a certain style are expected to more or less keep doing their style. It’s so easy to get into that rut of production.
Laurie Anderson
It’s a really exciting thing to collaborate with production designers, cinematographers and gaffers and costume designers and editors and composers.
Jason Bateman
I have the conviction that excessive literary production is a social offence.
George Eliot
Corn is the leading food and feed crop of the United States in geographic range of production, acreage, and quantity of product. The vital importance of a large acreage of this crop, properly cared for, therefore, is obvious.
David F. Houston
The value of the beans for oil production, as well as for human food, has become recognized so quickly and so generally during the past year that the crop has acquired a commercial standing far in excess of its previous status.
David F. Houston
The wonderful thing about theater as an art form is it’s a purely empirical art form. It’s all about what works. And every show, every production, is created anew right from the moment you go into the rehearsal hall.
Terry Teachout
I think good actors – good, collaborative actors who see themselves as leaders in a given production – can and should offer ideas that have nothing to do with wanting to direct themselves.
Joe Mantello
As far as favorite ‘overall package’ record of all time, I’d have to say ‘My Girl’ by The Temptations. I like everything about it, not only the composition – but the arrangement, the production, the lead vocals, the background vocals, the horns, the strings. That one I listen to over and over again.
Paul Shaffer
Capitalist production, therefore, develops technology, and the combining together of various processes into a social whole, only by sapping the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the labourer.
Karl Marx
I got ‘Delhi Belly’ and ‘Badmaash Company’ because people from the production house had seen my stand-up comic acts in a DVD that was lying in their offices. It’s been a weird journey, and I think weird goes with me.
Vir Das
A consistent anarchist must oppose private ownership of the means of production, and the wage-slavery which is a component of this system, as incompatible with the principle that labor must be freely undertaken and under the control of the producer.
Noam Chomsky
One of the awesome things about being a writer is that I can research nearly anything – tea? Bubblegum? Ants? Neurology? Chocolate? Textile production? It doesn’t matter. It’s all productive work.
Ann Leckie
One grave and fundamental Keynesian error is to persist

One grave and fundamental Keynesian error is to persist in regarding the interest rate as a contract rate on loans instead of the price spreads between stages of production. The former, as we have seen, is only the reflection of the latter.
Murray Rothbard
In conventional oil and natural gas production, you always produce a lot of formation water, and it’s crummy water. It’s real salty. It’s got heavy metals in it. It’s got bad stuff in it.
Rex Tillerson
I used to be pretty reckless. When I was a runner for a production company, I drove a massive 16 seater van. I was only 18. I mean I look young now, but then I looked about 12.
Gail Porter
I have a lot to do with the writing, and also the production, but it would be wrong of me to say that I’m the most important member of the band, because everybody is important the way I see it.
Glenn Tipton
Iran’s economy is now shrinking by 1 percent a year. Its oil production is down 40 percent.
Susan Rice
I was looking to become more proactive with my career because I wasn’t crazy with some of the scripts I was getting – this was before Blow and Hannibal – so I decided to start my own production company.
Ray Liotta
In December 2011, I will be opening up my production house, Sharmeen Obaid Films, and aspire to change the way Pakistanis approach nonfiction storytelling. There are thousands of stories to be found here.
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
I have agreed to lend my voice to Nature’s Guard, an animated series which hopefully will go into production in the near future. The characters are all animals. My voice will be for a character named Longtail.
Jeremy Bulloch
For ‘Spartacus,’ we’ve committed 100 percent of our production time to creating great scenes. So all the training I do is on my own time. And that’s pretty limited.
Andy Whitfield
To be happy, to make other people happy, to get into movie production more and probably to give some other people the chances that I had, to carry on enjoying being a mum and never to stop having flowers bought for me. I’ve still got a long way to go.
Sharon Stone
The credibility comes before you get on air. It comes with coming to the production meeting and having ideas and being prepared and being up on everything that’s going on, being professional, and showing up every day and working hard. I think that’s where you build the credibility and the respect.
Molly Qerim
There’d never been a more advantageous time to be a criminal in America than during the 13 years of Prohibition. At a stroke, the American government closed down the fifth largest industry in the United States – alcohol production – and just handed it to criminals – a pretty remarkable thing to do.
Bill Bryson
Seeing a new play in a first-time production is so exciting – when it’s good, you want to shout from the rooftops.
Sam Taylor-Johnson
I will be engaging myself personally, as the head of the Polish government, in the optimization of conditions for the exploration, research, logistics and the business related to the production of shale gas.
Donald Tusk
I go on giving interviews because I’ve been brought up to support the projects I’m involved in. When you’ve enjoyed working on a production, you want to do them a favour.
Francesca Annis
My mother was there every day of the production. You know what? My mother and I are so close, she really understands the fact that I am 18 and I am maturing. I guess I am not your average 18 year-old.
Michelle Trachtenberg
The production value of YouTube videos is not there.
Dana Brunetti
Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production of an individual mind.
Lascelles Abercrombie
I fell in love with acting at around the age of 11, when I was drafted in to play a fairy at an amateur production of ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream.’
Zoe Tapper
Jonathan Lynn is one of the last actors Orsen Welles used in a production. It was wonderful. He’s very sharp, very sharp. It’s funny I’ve been asked how weird it was to have a Brit do a church gospel movie.
Cuba Gooding, Jr.
The U.S., especially Hollywood, is so strong for film production.
Wang Jianlin
The designer must understand that form does not follow function nor does form follow a production process. For every use and for every production process there are innumerable equally attractive solutions.
Eva Zeisel
My first year making music was very experimental. I was trying to find my sound. My second year, I was more in my element. I knew what type of production I wanted to go over and the topics I wanted to address.
Lil Peep
There was a brief moment, after Haiti’s 2010 earthquake, when even Bill Clinton recognized what had been done to Haiti in the name of ‘free trade’: the destruction of local markets and rice production.
Greg Grandin
For a production that suggests a mysterious dreamscape, I have a particular affection for the Vivian Beaumont Theater. It is the largest dramatic space available in New York City in terms of plays, although musicals have been done there very successfully as well.
Jack O’Brien
India is a good example of a country that has embarked into wind and solar energy production and creating jobs in it. Other countries can learn from India’s experience.
Patricia Espinosa
As a writer, I’m not convinced that we are the best equipped to understand how we go about the business of literary production.
Will Self
I’m pleased with our state’s willingness to support responsible off-shore energy production while also giving special focus to enhance the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Cindy Hyde-Smith
We live in capitalism, and capitalism is defined by the production line, and the production line is defined by specificity. If you see yourself as an artist, which I do, then you can’t be limited by that. You can’t let somebody tell you, ‘Well, you can only draw this kind of picture or write that kind of book.’
Walter Mosley
If I ever see another Shakespeare production where somebody drives a Jeep on stage, I’m going to run screaming up the aisle.
Terry Teachout
So I majored in Drama, did all the plays that were possible to do, skated through school in order to be in every production on stage or backstage in whatever capacity and I came to New York looking for work in the summers.
Linda Lavin
It is crucial that young people are taught sustainable

It is crucial that young people are taught sustainable child production and rearing.
Alice Walker
I grew up in a small town in the Netherlands which, for years, had been a center of textile production.
Paul Polman
I thought it was quintessentially American – very hip, very late-’60s. I was absolutely stunned when a German production company asked me if I could do a ‘Sesame Street’ in Germany. It was absolutely the happiest surprise.
Joan Ganz Cooney
We are taking challenges and turning them into opportunities by developing homegrown, local energy production to become independent from foreign sources.
Mitch Daniels
In a Harvard University study, the diets of nearly 1,000 women were analysed before their morning melatonin levels were measured. Meat consumption was the only food significantly associated with lower melatonin production, for reasons that are as yet unknown.
Michael Greger
With ‘Suffragette,’ I was emboldened that there were so many women around me. We had a female writer, producers, production and costume designers.
Sarah Gavron
I was a really good student. I was nerdy and ambitious. I was involved with every large theater production at my school.
Sara Canning
The staple of our Australian colonies, but more particularly of New South Wales, the climate and the soil of which are peculiarly suited to its production, – is fine wool.
Charles Sturt
For video clips, you can always assume that there is a creative component since you are literally dealing with production values.
Rachel Sklar
While other individuals or institutions obtain their income by production of goods and services and by the peaceful and voluntary sale of these goods and services to others, the State obtains its revenue by the use of compulsion; that is, by the use and the threat of the jailhouse and the bayonet.
Murray Rothbard
I’ve been kind of listening to the composer Britten and his rendition of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’ The opening track is a choral section where all the weird fairies, who are played by kids in the production, sing. It’s a crazy opening melody and chord sequence – really amazing.
Dev Hynes
Because I direct films, I have to live in a major English-speaking production center. That narrows it down to three places: Los Angeles, New York and London. I like New York, but it’s inferior to London as a production center. Hollywood is best, but I don’t like living there.
Stanley Kubrick
I’m used to being a small part of a massive production.
Maisie Williams
I can always tell if a band has a British rhythm section due to the gritty production.
Kanye West
I’ve always known I could write. I have an ear for production and melody. It was just that, in those early years, I let everyone do it for me. To be honest, I was a little lazy!
Belinda Carlisle
I’ve been in a recording studio enough times to know that it is not the best place to multitask. Doing a couple of takes of a song and running out to check your email to talk to someone about video production really is not good.
Amanda Palmer
Pantera revolutionized the sound and the approach to heavy metal. It’s been regurgitated. Once you up the production on a product and not just the playing but the actual production, then it’s going to up the ante.
Phil Anselmo
The ease with which barley may be substituted directly for wheat in human food and its usefulness to replace wheat milling by-products as feed in the production of the milk supply render its abundant production important.
David F. Houston
I play the leading lady in Arjun Rampal’s latest production, ‘Daddy’. It’s a very bold, performance-oriented role, and the team had originally cast someone else. However, when Arjun saw my performance in ‘Kaaka Muttai,’ he roped me in.
Aishwarya Rajesh
Profits might also increase, because improvements might take place in agriculture, or in the implements of husbandry, which would augment the produce with the same cost of production.
David Ricardo
It’s a difficult thing to overcome, but I’ve been quite fortunate. I haven’t been out of work, literally, since ‘M*A*S*H’ went out of production.
Jamie Farr
What Democrats haven’t focused on are the kind of policies that would promote economic growth – such as making permanent the 2001/2003 tax cuts, opening up federal lands to more energy production, and reforming government to reduce its burden on business.
Bob Beauprez
I was the understudy to the understudy in a year-two production of ‘Big Chief Red Feather.’ The boy who had the lead broke his arm, and then the understudy got chicken pox. And I loved it. I got to wear the most feathers in my headdress.
Sarah Snook
I was never on the side of the teachers at school. Even though I put all the work into getting the main role in the end-of-year musical when I was 11, they didn’t give it me, even though they knew I should have had it. That sort of drove me into am dram and getting the main part in another production. And I did.
Michael Socha
We know that inflation distorts economic behavior. In the 1970s, a combination of high tax rates and inflation prompted investors to flee production in favor of protection.
Nina Easton
Venture capital is unscalable. Production equals the time each partner has.
Bill Gurley
I thought that if I could speed up the production of animation, I could make a big business out of recreating the amazing images of the news because what we get on TV is always the last bit of image.
Jimmy Lai
I have always felt that my career was not going to be a straight shot up, but more of a kind of rolling wave, so that I could raise my children. So I got pregnant when I was the head of production at a studio, and I became chairperson at a bigger studio when I was pregnant with my second daughter. You just do it!
Stacey Snider
All foreign companies registered in China are Chinese enterprises. Their innovation, production and business operations in China enjoy the same treatment as Chinese enterprises.
Hu Jintao
The picture has made its million back in four months; I have been overwhelmed by letters, hundreds of them, literally, begging me in my next production not to swing over the shallow trash of mother love, father love, sister love, brother love.
Erich von Stroheim
The answer has to be sought in the material conditions of the production and utilization of cattle in India compared with the production and utilization of cattle in other parts of the world.
Marvin Harris
The production must be faithful to the line. If the pro

The production must be faithful to the line. If the production fails, my work fails.
Elsa Peretti
In the case of Apple, they did originally do production internally, but then along came unbelievably good outsourced manufacturing from companies like Foxconn. We don’t have that in the rocket business. There’s no Foxconn in the rocket business.
Elon Musk
The more commercial work that is happening, the more people are operating cameras and are setting up studio lights, the greater the opportunity for drama production to happen.
Ann Macbeth
The strongest interactions are the nuclear interactions, which include the forces that bind nuclei together and the interaction between the nuclei and the z mesons. It also includes the interactions that give rise to the observed strange-particle production.
Chen-Ning Yang
‘As You Like It’ was the first Shakespeare production I ever did.
Zoe Wanamaker
Some of the biggest changes that have happened are behind the scenes, in the way we produce the magazine. E.g., much of our production has been brought in-house via desktop publishing.
Stanley Schmidt
A great production of a black comedy is better than a mediocre production of a comedy of errors.
Tom Stoppard
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
Thomas A. Edison
If we save people from HIV/AIDS, if we save them from malaria, it means they can form the base of production for our economy.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
If most American cities are about the consumption of culture, Los Angeles and New York are about the production of culture – not only national culture but global culture.
Barbara Kruger
I used to visit one production house every day, and I used to take up auditions even for small roles. Before my debut, I must have auditioned at almost every single production house.
Aishwarya Rajesh
I think if I produced a show I would not want to be part of that production. That’s not… I’m not… I mean, I couldn’t even sell Boy Scout chocolate bars when I was a kid!
Jesse Tyler Ferguson
It doesn’t seem as if there’s that much of a difference between a big production and a little production, other than you have a smaller space in which to get dressed and you have a shorter waiting time.
Jennifer Beals
Early on I did all the production for UGK, like on ‘Southern Way.’ Yeah, 90 percent of the production and not for any other reason then I couldn’t find anybody that would give me what I needed, so I had to make it myself.
Pimp C
We’re in a golden age for television. TV 25 years ago was slow, plodding , boring. The production values were not great. Today it’s so much better. People get really invested it.
Adrian Dunbar
For much of Toyota’s history, we have ensured the quality and reliability of our vehicles by placing a device called an andon cord on every production line – and empowering any team member to halt production if there’s an assembly problem. Only when the problem is resolved does the line begin to move again.
Akio Toyoda
My toughest criticism usually comes from myself. As my editor can attest to, I’m never done tweaking a book until the production department has to rip it from my hands!
Kresley Cole
A product can turn bad, not the production. When you start a film, you feel it will be great. But sometimes, as it progresses, it fails somewhere. You can’t blame anyone for that. You can blame only your own intelligence!
Mammootty
I have my own dance and production companies, and acting is my creative outlet. It’s what I’m passionate about. I’ve actually created a lifestyle where I could act for free. I could get a job to pay the bills and act on the weekends to make me smile.
Brian J. White
‘G.I. Joe’ is a $200 million movie. The makeup trailer was as big as my house! It was a whole other different production. It blows me away. I’m just going, ‘Wow, I’m in that.’
Marlon Wayans
You hear about actors being late and all that sort of stuff, but you never find that with an actor who’s directed, because an actor who’s directed understands all the problems your production is going through.
Clint Eastwood
I went to anything that was on at the Lyceum in Edinburgh. I was quite geeky. There was a production of ‘Look Back in Anger’ with David Tennant and Kelly Reilly in it, and it blew me away. I still think about it and look back on it as the moment where I decided, ‘I want to do that.’
Chloe Pirrie
The average music-lover hears only the production under prevailing conditions.
John Philip Sousa
I get most of my inspiration from older records and older production styles, and that ends up rearing its head in the records that I make.
M. Ward
I think part of what made the original ‘Sufferfest’ charming was the extremely low production value. It was all shaky handheld footage from Cedar.
Alex Honnold
Music’s staying power is a function of how timeless the lyrics, song and production are.
Gary Wright
The next day I was in my school’s production of All My Sons. This was the performance where I realized something was happening between me and the audience that I hadn’t recognized before.
Kevin Spacey
Milk production is one of India’s great success stories.
Abhijit Banerjee
Climate protection creates sustainability and jobs in the real economy – in construction, in the production of heavy machinery and in systems engineering.
Sigmar Gabriel
Seattle isn’t known for a particular production sound, so that leaves a lot of great producers in Seattle doing kind of their own thing. And I think, for me, I was probably enough removed from hip-hop that my style was even a little bit weirder than that.
Ryan Lewis
I think people forget that a lot of directing is just real management of the size of a production.
Gavin Hood
I'll have the chance to do a production number on A Cap

I’ll have the chance to do a production number on A Capitol Fourth.
Barry Bostwick
The most important asset you need to protect in order to manage the demands of a job or an investment portfolio is your production of energy. And, just like with money, if you do a great job managing your energy, you’ll get a great return.
Jim Loehr
These code authorities could regulate production, quantities, qualities, prices, distribution methods, etc., under the supervision of the NRA. This was fascism.
John T. Flynn
Writing one’s first novel, getting it sold, and shepherding it through the labyrinths of editing, production, marketing, journalism, and social media is an arduous and nerve-wracking process.
Paul Di Filippo
For me, the gallery legitimates the art production and helps build collections. I don’t think an artist should do everything by himself forever. I did it for years and then slowly built my circle of trust.
JR
I wanted to be involved in TV and film in some capacity, so a compromise, because acting seemed unrealistic, and so risky, was to get into the production side. And it was a really fortunate, smart move looking back on it, because it gave me perspective on another side of the business.
Wentworth Miller
My profession is called record production.
Tony Visconti
I am always working on new material with my production partner Phil Murphy in our guise as Man Ray; we do a lot of soundtrack work & some great collaborations.
Peter Hook
I went to Howard University and majored in Film Production and minored in Acting. I turned down an opportunity to go pro in Track & Field to do this – I took a chance with this.
Lance Gross
In this business you break a leg and 150 other people are out of work while production is shut down. It’s not like you were an accountant and could still work with your leg in a cast.
Ken Curtis
During the last war when there was a market for everything that could be produced, the production capacity of Canada and the United States, which were outside the battle area, increased one hundred percent.
John Boyd Orr
Instead of going to the ends of the Earth – and plumbing the depths of the oceans – to squeeze out every last drop of oil, we need, instead, to do everything we can to reduce the risks of offshore oil and gas production.
Frances Beinecke
When the ‘Fight Club’ movie was going into production, I quit my job so I could write full-time.
Chuck Palahniuk
I spent ten years playing classical piano, and that was what led to keyboards and eventually to production and to Linkin Park.
Mike Shinoda
There’s no reason why the ‘Lost’ alternate reality game had to be officially made by the ‘Lost’ production crew.
Jane McGonigal
Socialism’s not a word that I use. I say ‘social democracy’ because I don’t think the government needs to own all the means of production.
David Cunliffe
We wouldn’t think of going to our doctor and saying ‘Treat me the way doctors treated people in the 19th Century,’ and yet that’s what we’re demanding in food production.
Nina Fedoroff
I thought it was getting better and better, because the production values were increasing each time we did it.
Derek Jacobi
I’m a storyteller – that’s my chamber, that’s my box. I’m always tryin’ to give you the best story from our side of the table that you could really relate to quick. I understand where I wanna be at, but sometimes the production takes me where I need to go.
Raekwon
My character was kidnapped by the Terminator and I was kidnapped by the Terminator production.
Claire Danes
By the time ‘Dumbo’s Circus’ wrapped production of its 120 episodes, I had an agent, and I had scored my first feature film gig.
Jim Cummings
At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger.
Jacqueline Bisset
The more people who come from musical backgrounds and go into promotion, production, songwriting, A&R, plus get their business head together, the better. They’ll not only understand the business aspect, they’ll also have a true passion and ear for how quality is represented musically.
Harvey Mason, Jr.
New discoveries and production of resources like shale oil and gas are dramatically altering our energy supply outlook and the entire global geopolitical landscape. And the pace of change – particularly in the past few years – continues to accelerate.
Fred Upton
There are no miracles in agricultural production.
Norman Borlaug
Had I not done Shakespeare, Pinter, Moliere and things such as ‘Godspell’ – I played Judas in a hugely successful production before I did ‘Elm Street’ – I’d probably be on a psychiatrist’s couch saying: ‘Freddy ruined me.’ But I’d already done 13 movies and years of non-stop theatre.
Robert Englund
One likes at the point of production to realize the maximum value, and diamond producers are no different.
Nicky Oppenheimer
We have to learn to live with fewer imports and more exports, promoting national production.
Miguel Diaz-Canel
The North Sea was supposed to run out in the 1980s. Then in the 1990s. And now production is still on-line.
Daniel Yergin
Nitric oxide production by immune cells is one of the key mechanisms that our bodies use to destroy diseased cells. Enhancement of these types of immune responses is seen consistently with many medicinal mushrooms that have been tested by cancer researchers.
Paul Stamets
Doing gigs is great, but when you come together for a production in the theatre, that is something I have a lot of respect for.
Eliza Doolittle
Since M.O.'s trunk shows will run during a brand's mark

Since M.O.’s trunk shows will run during a brand’s market week, designers can get immediate feedback from our high-end customers to help better shape their buying and production decisions. This keeps our members happy and can improve each brand’s bottom line.
Aslaug Magnusdottir
There are a lot of people who don’t contribute anything to consumption and production.
Susan George
I was into acting as a kid. There was a time when I was 18 that I played the boy in a production of ‘Equus’ in Oregon, and I thought that was going to be my life.
Matisyahu
I was in a production of ‘Macbeth.’
Richard C. Armitage
Agriculture is a business that has been up to its bib overalls in politics since the first Thanksgiving dinner kickback to the Indians for subsidizing Pilgrim maize production with fish head fertilizer grants.
P. J. O’Rourke
By encouraging conservation, increasing investments in clean, renewable sources of energy, and promoting increased domestic production of oil and gas, we can build a more secure future for our country.
Ron Lewis
Corporations do not pay taxes, they collect them, passing the burden to consumers as a cost of production. And corporate taxation is a feast of rent-seeking – a cornucopia of credits, exemptions and other subsidies conferred by the political class on favored, and grateful, corporations.
George Will
I think the first role I ever played was Mr. Bumble in a production of ‘Oliver.’
Caitriona Balfe
When you get into a production, there are a lot of things you have to hit to make the show work – like my cues or a cue for another person or making sure you don’t mess up the beat, and you can let all of that get in the way.
Matthew James Thomas
One of the first production deals I signed, the guy wanted my name to be Minaj and I fought him tooth and nail. But he convinced me. I’ve always hated it.
Nicki Minaj
As soon, however, as capitalist competition has definitively established the equal rate of profit, that rate becomes the starting point for the calculations of the capitalists in the investment of capital in newly-created branches of production.
Rudolf Hilferding
Plays are so much more special if they’ve never ever had a production, but I think you can really work on a play and make it better with each production.
Beth Henley
When I first started making music, it was learning other people’s songs and putting them onto four-track. Like Beatles songs and stuff. When I started writing, I used the singing side of the production as a vehicle for melody and lyrical ideas.
M. Ward
I’ve been in the game long enough to know what elements you have to package together to get a movie into production.
David Ayer
The computer cuts my production time in half. I love it.
Scott Adams
History is just this froth of artifact production that has appeared in the last ten to fifteen thousand years. It spread across the planet very quickly. But that mind in man just goes back and back into the darkness.
Terence McKenna
I’m very ambitious. I live in reality but I have dreams I want to fulfill – I want to be a director, and I’ve already started my own production company. But I also have a measure of success that I keep to myself. It’s something very personal to me.
Alex Pettyfer
If I’m not putting out music, I’mma be producing for everybody. I got an artist named Mike Slice. He’s nice, and he’s real good. I’m doing a bunch of production for all the artists in the industry because I’m as much as a producer as I am an artist.
Warren G
The machines, the modern mode of production, slowly undermined domestic production and not just for thousands but for millions of women the question arose: Where do we now find our livelihood?
Clara Zetkin
I think that casting is probably the most important thing in television production.
Dan Harmon
The cell is a city of production centres, each part working away like mad, and it’s co-ordinated. Six trillion cells in a body – you can’t help but be moved.
Charles Jencks
People think that what I see diving must drive what I put into films, but that isn’t really the case. When I am making a Hollywood production, I am telling a different kind of story. Of course, if I see something interesting that works, we will look at it, but they are different things.
James Cameron
I started taking piano lessons from the age of six years old. It’s such an essential part of what I do in the production process. I wouldn’t be Kygo today without those piano lessons.
Kygo
In America, it was decided to attempt the production of atomic bombs with an effort that would constitute a large part of the collective American war effort. In Germany, an effort one thousandth the scale of the American was applied to the problem of producing atomic energy that would drive engines.
Werner Heisenberg
Anyone can see that, say, superheroes and vampires perform well at the box office. That in turn can trigger competitive bidding situations and soaring fees for people who can bring these properties to the screen. The result can be a dramatic increase in the costs of production.
Anita Elberse
Because tax cuts create an incentive to increase output, employment, and production, they also help balance the budget by reducing means-tested government expenditures. A faster-growing economy means lower unemployment and higher incomes, resulting in reduced unemployment benefits and other social welfare programs.
Arthur Laffer
Production is a lot of work. Nobody sent me that memo when they came to me to do television.
Priyanka Chopra
I was a directing student and a production design student at Carnegie Mellon. I went in as a production design student and became a directing student.
John Wells
Most climate debates have focused on cutting the use of fossil fuels. But besides a few high-profile scuffles over fuel extraction in vulnerable wild places like the offshore Arctic, political leaders have ignored fossil fuel production as a necessary piece of climate strategy.
Lydia Millet
Putting a stamp on things just helps you say, ‘Hey, yesterday I was there, and today I’m here.’ It’s another step forward, and it feels like another turning point and an unleashing of creativity, and now I’m going to start focusing on the show and the production, the fun stuff that comes with it.
Shania Twain
Poetry is rather an approach to things, to life, than it is typographical production.
Joseph Brodsky
I'm from Chicago, my family started a chain of movie th

I’m from Chicago, my family started a chain of movie theaters in Chicago that were around for 70 years and then one of them became the head of Paramount and the other was the head of production at MGM and we all came out of Chicago.
Bob Balaban
This has a lot to do with the unrest in Nigeria, but also with the production loss after the hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, the decline in Iraq since the 2003 war, and the decline in Venezuelan output since 2002.
Daniel Yergin
Whether or not the standard of living made possible by mass production and in turn by mass circulation, is supported by and filled with the work of us hucksters, I guess is something that only history can decide.
Leo Burnett
My Aunt Minnie would always be punctual and never hold up production, but who would pay to see my Aunt Minnie?
Billy Wilder
The main reason why it is profitable to establish a firm would seem to be that there is a cost of using the price mechanism. The most obvious cost of ‘organizing’ production through the price mechanism is that of discovering what the relevant prices are.
Ronald Coase
I have a big family and had to move them all from the coast of Oregon to New York three times for the workshops and for the actual production itself, which had about a four month development rehearsal schedule.
Gregory Harrison
Let me tell you something – compared to a TV-drama production schedule, touring is not strenuous.
LL Cool J
From a production point of view, I still have one foot firmly planted in the independent film world, and much of the shooting on ‘Jumper’ was done ‘Swingers’-style because that was the only way we could afford to do it.
Doug Liman
When you look at the social cost of carbon – and there is a lot of ambiguity around that – what you also need to be doing is looking at the benefits of carbon and what that has on increased agriculture production.
Marsha Blackburn
Every increase of protective duties is necessarily followed, in the present condition of our country, by an expansion of the currency, which must continue to increase till the increased price of production, caused by the expansion, shall be equal to the duty imposed, when a new tariff will be required.
John C. Calhoun
Obviously I know if you’re putting yourself out there, saying, ‘Hey! Listen to my music!,’ with pictures of yourself in the magazines, then people are going to judge you. ‘I hate her music. I hate her hair. I hate her production. I hate her videos.’ Fine: don’t care. That’s the great thing about art: it’s not for everyone.
FKA twigs
What I worry about is not just Nissan, but Japanese manufacturers losing motivation to maintain production in Japan. The high yen is definitely a headwind.
Carlos Ghosn
She put her hands around the neck of our production manager, and you know, started to choke him.
David Gest
My father used to act in high school. He was in a production of ‘Othello;’ I don’t know who he played, but it wasn’t Othello. He would talk about it, though, and read Shakespeare to me.
Lupita Nyong’o
Justice requires that everyone should have enough to eat. But it also requires that everyone should contribute to the production of food.
Elias Canetti
I was drafted and went to Korea where I had an opportunity to create a production team that did dramatic and comedy shows. I had also done a little disc jockeying.
Casey Kasem
I was introduced to the world of modern food production in the mid-1990s, while researching an article about California’s strawberry industry for the ‘Atlantic Monthly.’
Eric Schlosser
Despite its many critics, hydraulic fracturing will change the nature of energy production.
Kenneth Fisher
For the last five years I’ve been in the production business.
Chico Hamilton
Over the past two years, the Obama Administration and USDA have worked to build a foundation for sustainable economic growth in rural America. At the center of our vision is an effort to increase domestic production and use of renewable energy.
Tom Vilsack
Art is the production of objects for consumption, to be used and discarded while waiting for a new world in which man will have succeeded in freeing himself of everything, even of his own consciousness.
Eugenio Montale
With nine degrees of warming, computer models project that Australia will look like a disaster movie. Habitats for most vertebrates will vanish. Water supply to the Murray-Darling Basin will fall by half, severely curtailing food production.
Jeff Goodell
It is time for Congress to provide relief for tobacco farmers. Since the 1930’s tobacco production has been regulated by a quota system, which required farmers to purchase quota in order to grow tobacco.
Allen Boyd
The social inefficiency of capitalism is going to clash at some point with the technological innovations capitalism engenders, and it is out of that contradiction that a more efficient way of organising production and distribution and culture will emerge.
Yanis Varoufakis
The first prize for any production is, if you can find a location that means you don’t have to build sets, that will serve, and is not excessively expensive to hire, then it can save you a lot of money.
Gavin Hood
The first play I was ever in was ‘Cinderella,’ a children’s production in Los Angeles when I was only 8. It was strictly a children’s show which played weekends for about a year and which included such songs as ‘Long Ago and Far Away’ and ‘True Love.’
Judy Norton
I’ve been approached in the past to option my stories for television, but prior to Evergreen, there were no assurances the production would be filmed in Alaska.
Dana Stabenow
‘Flying Down to Rio’ established RKO as a leader in musical film production throughout the 1930s. The film helped to rescue the studio from its financial straits and it gave a real boost to my movie career.
Ginger Rogers
As an independent artist, you control the means of production, which is the ultimate form of empowerment.
K. Flay
When you affect consumption, production falls, and when production falls, employment falls and when unemployment rises, it affects poverty.
Alberto Fernandez
From my years of work with so many game show production companies and their producers I’m probably no longer eligible to be a contestant on any American game show.
Randy West
I started out in pre-law. I was going to go to law scho

I started out in pre-law. I was going to go to law school. And I saw a production of ‘Tally’s Folly’ that spring term. I took a theater class that term and auditioned for ‘Harvey’ at the end of the summer, and I was in a play every semester after that.
Kevin Rahm
It has been my fate in a long life of production to be credited chiefly with the equivocal virtue of industry, a quality so excellent in morals, so little satisfactory in art.
Margaret Oliphant
With Cold Sassy Tree having its first production, I saw no necessity to do anything other than produce it with the correct setting.
Bruce Beresford
Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.
Henry George
I would love to learn how to start my own production company and start it in Boston.
Katie Nolan
At one point, I was seriously considering playing Huck Finn in a production in Northern Maine in the dead of winter.
David Walton
Before you approach a production entity or even a potential producer, you should write up a treatment and register your show with the Writers Guild of America.
Penelope Spheeris
It is obvious that the greatest and most important service that is required of our agriculture under existing conditions is an enlarged production of the staple food crops.
David F. Houston
You can muscle your way to the top as long as you’re part of the production, which I am. I’m knitted into the money, so it’s very hard to extricate me from the decision-making dynamic.
Ben Wheatley
We need to break our dependency on foreign sources of oil, which leaves us at the mercy of foreign powers. To do that, we should increase domestic energy production.
Bobby Jindal
We rest our case on the production numbers.
Mel Brooks
The production of wealth is the result of agreement between labor and capital, between employer and employed. Its distribution, therefore, will follow the law of its creation, or great injustice will be done.
Leland Stanford
I started working in the oilfield upon graduating high school. I was on the service end of it, driving tank trucks for Johnny Geer for a couple years and learning about oil and gas production. I had a whole cadre of mentors.
Harold Hamm
Protectionist politicians cannot stand the notion of a fossil-fuel-rich America maintaining record levels of production through exports.
Mike Pompeo
Urban conservationists may feel entitled to be unconcerned about food production because they are not farmers. But they can’t be let off so easily, for they are all farming by proxy.
Wendell Berry
Cereal production in the rain-fed areas still remains relatively unaffected by the impact of the green revolution, but significant change and progress are now becoming evident in several countries.
Norman Borlaug
In Europe, there is no television filmmaking legislation that could assist film production because private broadcasters are not interested in supporting Polish film.
Andrzej Wajda
Fuel conservation is as important as fuel production.
Veerappa Moily
Soaring prices for crude oil, falling production surpluses, wild speculation in commodities, a rush into the precious metals, turmoil in the Middle East, assertive oil producers: it is 1973-74 all over again, and at dictation speed.
James Buchan
Large-scale deforestation can be prevented while increasing food production through better, smarter agriculture.
Paul Polman
I get offers to do huge-budget music videos with big production companies all the time, but I have no interest.
Grimes
When I was on the ’70s Show,’ I had that and I had ‘Punk’d’ and I had my own production company. That pretty much sealed up all my time.
Ashton Kutcher
If you just hold your cell phone for 30 seconds and think backwards through its production, you have the entire techno-industrial culture wrapped up there. You can’t have that device without everything that goes with it.
Douglas Tompkins
With ‘Defenders,’ we had some very barebones ideas, but the bulk of it came together very quickly over in Ibiza. The main thing I like about that record, looking back on it now, is the change in the texture of the production from ‘Screaming For Vengeance.’
Rob Halford
In the ordinary affairs of life we do not require nor expect demonstrative evidence, because it is inconsistent with the nature of matters of fact, and to insist on its production would be unreasonable and absurd.
Simon Greenleaf
I was producing demos for a band that was called Physical Ed. Out of production of demos I went and did a few jam sessions with then in Northern California clubs, but I never actually toured with them.
Ronnie Montrose
When I was 23, I went to work for Jack Nicholson reading scripts. Later, I was married to a production designer named Richard Sylbert. So I lived in Los Angeles for ten years.
Susanna Moore
Manufacturing capacity is not a rigid level against which one bounces. When you are dealing with a world economy, with a flexibility to employ production facilities other than one’s own, then the concept of capacity is vaguer.
Alan Greenspan
I’m not so sure that younger people today really appreciate the enormous bravery that went into the creation and production of that film, or how important a film at the time it really was.
Rod Steiger
Enhancing fabric production will also lead to strengthening the power loom sector.
Smriti Irani
Delayed energy projects and regulatory hurdles to domestic oil production not only cost the United States economy billions of dollars and millions of jobs, but they also stand in the way of an elusive goal: true American energy security.
John Hoeven
I don't want food that comes from animals that are cage

I don’t want food that comes from animals that are caged up and fed antibiotics. I am really suspicious of that kind of production of meat and poultry.
Alice Waters
I bought a year’s production of flax from a single field owned by a Dutch producer. That’s 10,000 kilograms of flax, enough to enable industrial level production. Now, I’m weaving it into tablecloths, tea towels, and other items at the Textile Museum in Tilburg. I’m producing hundreds of grown-up products!
Christien Meindertsma
It is a fearful mistake for us to neglect the study of the Bible to investigate theories that are misleading, diverting minds from the words of Christ to fallacies of human production.
Ellen G. White
Direction or even production doesn’t fascinate me at all.
Dimple Kapadia
There are so many ingredients that are contained in ‘The Wall’ that were not necessarily contained in other Pink Floyd records, particularly following on from ‘Animals,’ which was very spare and sparse. Production on it was much more massive, the complexity of the recording was much more intense.
Nick Mason
The one thing I always think about when I don’t get jobs is that it just wasn’t yours. You don’t want to do something that you’re not right for because it won’t make the production look good, and it won’t make you look good.
Timothy Simons
There’s a different energy with a female director, a female at the head of the production. I don’t prefer one over the other, but they’re definitely different experiences, and I would love to have more of them.
Hailee Steinfeld
I was in college, and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time, it seemed the thing I really wanted to do, production design, just wasn’t available in the U.K., so I turned to music.
Eric Burdon
The fully developed bureaucratic apparatus compares with other organisations exactly as does the machine with the non-mechanical modes of production.
Max Weber
Any time you talk about the look of the film, it’s not just the director and the director of photography. You have to include the costume designer and the production designer.
Spike Lee
There was no such thing as production at Starday. We’d go in with the band, we’d go over the song, I’d look over and tell the steel player to take a break or kick it off, and I’d get the fiddle to play a turnaround in the middle.
George Jones
My father was a construction engineer, and my mother was a production engineer.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky
It costs a lot of money to make an album in a studio in New York with a producer and musicians. I have to pay a publicist every month. I have to pay for mastering, production, the manufacturing of the discs. Then, to promote an album properly, you have to spend a lot of money.
Juliana Hatfield
‘The X-Files’ from the beginning was a very visual show, and with Bob Mandel directing the pilot and Dan Sackheim being involved in the production of the pilot and directing the first episode, they brought a visual style to it that was elaborated on by so many good directors.
Chris Carter
The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.
Adrienne Rich
The days I’m not doing videos, I always have random stuff. We do production meeting stuff. Those are so stupid. Everyone’s like, ‘We like you; we don’t know what to do with you.’ I’m like, ‘Cool.’
Jenna Marbles
When shooting in real spaces, the work of a cinematographer begins where location meets production design meets time of day. No movie light will ever look as real as the sun, so scheduling becomes truly paramount to naturalistic lighting.
Rachel Morrison
We had four different sets and built 38 flats to use as walls, so we had a major production going on. It’s so much fun when you’re controlling it, but it’s also so much pressure.
Maria Menounos
In the production, it’s my job to find every flaw and the ones that can’t be fixed, and that’s why my job kind of sucks. My first reaction to everything is: here’s the 20 things that are wrong with it. Unfortunately, that’s how I have to live.
Christopher McCulloch
Among the many important provisions in the energy bill are the creation of an estimated half million new jobs, increased oil production, blackout protection, controlling fertilizer costs by stabilizing natural gas prices and enacting new efficiency benchmarks.
Paul Gillmor
Mitt Romney understands the importance of Alaska as a leader in our country’s energy production and I look forward to working with him on such an important economic and national security matter.
Lisa Murkowski
Production chains, how consumers can drive change: all these things may seem at odds with fashion, but arguably, they’re not.
Lily Cole
From another point of view, a new situation now seems to be arising in which Japan’s prosperity is going to be incorporated into the expanding potential power of both production and consumption in Asia at large.
Kenzaburo Oe
Getting into film production was obviously the next step once we had consolidated our music business.
Bhushan Kumar
I believe the digital world presents tremendous opportunities for the producers who understand it, and I am launching a digital production company, iMan Productions, to take advantage of this opportunity.
Ian Ziering
Some people do stage and film. Some people are film actors, and some people are stage actors. I’m quite sure that any of the actors who did the original production of ‘August’ could have done the film of ‘August.’ I don’t think any of them were particularly surprised when they didn’t wind up doing the film.
Tracy Letts
Childhood doesn’t have to be perfect, and children don’t have to be beautiful. From a bit of grit may grow a pearl, and if pearl production doesn’t materialise, the outcome will still be preferable to the shallowness of vanity.
Laurie Graham
Fashion is such an octopus. You’re connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.
Raf Simons
To understand the limits and opportunities of algorithms in the context of artistic creation, we need to understand that the latter usually consists of three elements: discovery, production, and recommendation.
Evgeny Morozov
With ‘GoldenEye,’ the franchise got locked into this legal fight. They couldn’t make new Bond movies for about seven years. It was my first huge production. I figured if I did at least a yeoman-like job, it would be greeted as a complete revival of the series.
Martin Campbell
I will continue to advocate for a strong federal government role to establish the production, storage and distribution networks needed to support a hydrogen economy.
Albert Wynn
Because most of my career in the classroom has been at

Because most of my career in the classroom has been at art schools (beginning at Bennington in the 1970s), I am hyper-aware of the often grotesque disconnect between commentary on the arts and the actual practice or production of the arts.
Camille Paglia
I’m all for big production – I love putting on shows.
Derek Hough
My most vivid memory – it’s actually one of my first memories – I was three, and I was the youngest angel in the show production. And I remember being absolutely desperate for the toilet. I needed to wee really badly. So I was crossing my legs when I was walking down.
Rose McIver
Some writing and production projects will be a great way to spend my elderly rock years.
Geddy Lee
The production of antibody is not the only, nor I believe the most important, manifestation of immunity, but for reasons both historical and of experimental convenience, antibody is likely to remain the touchstone of immunological theory.
Frank Macfarlane Burnet
I’m a serious student of music, a perfectionist in the studio, and I take the arrangement and production of it very seriously, down to the mixing and mastering even. But at the same time I’m having so much fun with it. I try not to take myself so seriously.
Mayer Hawthorne
When I listen to ‘Nevermind,’ I hate the production, but there’s something about it that almost makes me cry at times.
Kurt Cobain
‘Little Princess’ was the first big movie that I did in America with big stages where we had kind of a different schedule to work. We had a great production designer, Bo Welch, and we had time to think about the movie in pre-production.
Emmanuel Lubezki
If we do not change our negative habits toward climate change, we can count on worldwide disruptions in food production, resulting in mass migration, refugee crises and increased conflict over scarce natural resources like water and farm land. This is a recipe for major security problems.
Michael Franti
In the evening, since I have a lot of friends in theater, we might take in a Deaf West production in North Hollywood, or, since I’m a member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, they have screenings that are really great.
Tim DeKay
The shows at the Hilton are the most exciting shows I’ve ever done. The stage is huge, but the theater is intimate, so we can have a magnificent production and still connect with the audience.
Barry Manilow
My first paying job was a in a production of Neil LaBute’s ‘Bash: Latter Day Plays’ at the Union Street theater in Borough. I played the ‘Medea Redux’ character. That was my first job out of drama school. I can’t remember how much I got paid. I’m sure it was pennies.
Juliet Rylance
Biographers use historians more than historians use biographers, although there can be two-way traffic – e.g., the ever-growing production of biographies of women is helping to change the general picture of the past presented by historians.
Claire Tomalin
Why, when India’s agricultural products are among the cheapest in the world despite a low yield per hectare, are we not able to double the production and export the products abroad?
Subramanian Swamy
The State becomes society or humanity on the ethical side, a production and trade system on the economic side.
Francis Parker Yockey
It’s very common to implement mob grazing and double your production for a per-acre capitalisation investment… because it doesn’t take any more corraling, no more electricity, rent, machinery or labour to double your production on an existing place.
Joel Salatin
Despite recent speculation in the media, and after difficult but sincere consideration, I have decided not to direct ‘Catching Fire.’ As a writer and a director, I simply don’t have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make, because of the fixed and tight production schedule.
Gary Ross
You have to have pace, you have to have high production values, you have to have interesting graphics, and you have to have attractive people. CNN could afford not to be so obedient to those commands, and for a long time, it wasn’t.
Brit Hume
Especially when it comes to something like the awards, I find it kind of baffling that ‘True Blood’ has been snubbed so many times given the incredible range of acting they have on there; I mean, incredible storytelling and the incredible production values.
Denis O’Hare
I’ve watched with amazement as Local Motors has pioneered a co-creation and micro-manufacturing model that has democratized the development and production of complex machines, effectively transforming consumer choice from supply-driven to demand-driven.
Bre Pettis
Being exposed to different production environments in Korea, Japan and the U.S. was a great experience, and each system allows you to quench your thirst in a different way.
Bae Doona
I already have a production company called J Squared and we’re working on two projects.
Jordana Brewster
I don’t want to find myself at the age of 60 waiting by the telephone for someone else to decide if I am capable of being in what might be a crummy TV production.
Peter Capaldi
Any rehearsal process – I find, anyway – does have quite an effect on me, and I very much live in that world for the whole period of time that I’m involved with the production. But normally, afterwards with a little bit of space, I can come right back out of it again.
Laura Donnelly
I’ve had my run-ins with department stores, like Harrods, which stopped selling fur coats, but I found some there with fur trim, which is just as disgusting. Foie gras production is appalling – there’s no excuse for selling it.
Joanna Lumley
I was a drama-class nerd. I did whatever school production we put on.
Jessica Pare
I could draw up a list of about 30 artists who I apparently sound like. From Lady Gaga, to Katy Perry to Lana Del Rey. I don’t know if it’s because I’m versatile or because production affects how people judge music. I can’t wait for a time I can just be classed as myself.
Marina and the Diamonds
Recently I made the mistake of opening a bundle of reviews that someone had sent me of a production from years and years ago, and someone had written a really lovely review except that it made a remark about the way I spoke: ‘A lot of people find her voice terribly irritating.’ Do they? I had no idea.
Lindsay Duncan
Once Europe’s colonial empires were sent into deep decline, thanks to World War II, America became globalization’s primary replicating force, integrating Asia into its low-end production networks across the second half of the twentieth century – just like Europe had integrated the U.S. before.
Thomas P.M. Barnett
Our food is safer and our diets are more diverse than ever before; production methods are becoming increasingly sustainable, clean and efficient; and we are constantly becoming better at protecting biodiversity.
Louise Fresco
People who run a ready-to-wear company are businessmen rather than production or design people.
Calvin Klein
I started out doing production work on promos, stuff li

I started out doing production work on promos, stuff like that. I didn’t think it was cool to be working for NPR. I didn’t need anything to be cool. I just wanted something to do that would be interesting. It was fun. I didn’t think of it as anything else but fun.
Ira Glass
Coming from the industry and maintaining contacts with producers and directors, I am very well aware that costs associated with movie production are a major factor in determining where films get made.
James Costos
If you think about what ‘The Killing’ is, it is the theatrical production, not the script.
David Hewson
I’ve been in charge all my damn life, but executive producing is teamwork. You’re involved with every aspect of the production, from casting to locations, everything.
Jenifer Lewis
When you’re making a TV drama, the showrunner is God, and so however onerous and difficult and consuming that responsibility is, you’re being treated with respect, so it changes your whole outlook to the production. You’re being asked about costumes, set design, music, every aspect of the show.
Michael Hirst
I missed my entrance in a production of ‘Blade to the Heat’ at Thick Description in San Francisco. I came into the scene very late and hugged the punching bag. I had no idea what to do! Unfortunately, that mishap was recorded for archives at UC Berkeley. It goes down in history.
Colman Domingo
Right now my career is totally schizophrenic, because when an American production like Hitchcock Presents asks to see my work I would never dream of showing them my independent films.
Atom Egoyan
My two boys have each done a play. They’ve done school plays as well, but one of them did a local production of ‘Waiting For Godot,’ and he played the boy.
Thomas Gibson
For more than a decade, I led an organization that put on an elaborate Christmas program each December. It was a big production, with over 250 people participating in more than 20 performances. By the end of the season, everyone who participated was exhausted.
John C. Maxwell
No acting, no production, could take the place of that moment when you come out in the dark on to the stage and the drummer plays four beats on the hi-hat and then lights and music. It just takes your breath away. No words can do what music can.
Ken Stott
I know I’m in the exceptional position of having money, but I didn’t have it for many decades. I’m always trying to get shows put on for 25 per cent less production costs.
Cameron Mackintosh
I’m not interested in more money for the sake of it. You’re aware that if you’re nicking all the budget, somebody else is getting threepence ha’penny, or the production values aren’t going to be so high.
Kevin Whately
Well, you know, News Corp is the only real media global – that has a global presence that’s involved in TV production, in movies, in publishing, in newspapers, digital media, et cetera. So for a company like that to function, clearly it does not depend only on Rupert Murdoch or James Murdoch.
Al-Waleed bin Talal
I apologize for being obvious, but every time I watch the curtain come down on even a halfway decent production of a Shakespeare play I feel a little sorrowful that I’ll never know the man, or any man of such warm intelligence.
Ian Mcewan
What we need is more women writers, writing for older women. There are some actresses who have production companies and create their own material, and I truly admire that.
Kathleen Turner
You really just have to love the process. I can’t tell you the amount of film sets I’ve been on where people are talking about Oscars in the middle of the production. It happens all the time.
Olivia Wilde
The reason I took Early Edition – besides the fact that I liked it – was that it enabled me to start a production company in New York City. It’s a low-budget film company to produce and direct movies.
Fisher Stevens
I don’t go on set with an army of people because the most expensive elements of a movie production are the plane tickets, the hotel rooms, food and gasoline. If you’re willing to discover new colleagues in the place that you are, you can save a ton of money.
Francis Ford Coppola
The Gross National Product includes the destruction of the redwoods and the death of Lake Superior. It grows with the production of napalm and missiles and nuclear warheads… It includes… the broadcasting of television programs which glorify violence to sell goods to our children.
Robert Kennedy
The exchangeable value of all commodities, rises as the difficulties of their production increase.
David Ricardo
Humanity has experienced many revolutionary changes over the course of history: revolutions in agriculture, in science, industrial production, as well as numerous political revolutions. But these have all been limited to the external aspects of our individual and collective lives.
Daisaku Ikeda
What makes the production of my work so expensive? The whole installation thing – the construction, the objects, the technology. It really adds up.
Barbara Kruger
I tend to look at things from the supply side, looking for ways to make it less expensive to do more production. I think that’s what creates a demand and keeps an economy moving.
Pat Toomey
I’m so into music that I just stop and listen, whenever there’s music on. That’s the problem with being a musician for so long. I can get lost in the bassline, fascinated with the arrangement, curious about the production. I can’t shut it out.
Derek Sivers
We hear of the wealth of nations, of the powers of production, of the demand and supply of markets, and we forget that these words mean no more, if they mean any thing, then the happiness, and the labor, and the necessities of men.
Frances Wright
Our cells engage in protein production, and many of those proteins are enzymes responsible for the chemistry of life.
Randy Schekman
When the show’s in production, we work for three weeks at a time and then take a week off.
Drew Carey
The prevailing – and foolish – attitude is that a good manager can be a good manager anywhere, with no special knowledge of the production process he’s managing. A man with a financial background may know nothing about manufacturing shoes or cars, but he’s put in charge anyway.
W. Edwards Deming
In order for a society to survive, it must generate a sufficient level of physical production both to meet its current needs, and to produce a surplus for upgrading its productive powers.
Robert Trout
DJ Sliink is amazing, and his production is on the next level. There are a lot of EDM producers that I’d like to work with, not for the sake of having an engineered record, but for the fact that I love their production and music.
Travie McCoy
Empire Square production finishes in about a month’s time, so at the moment, right now, I’m just completely full on Empire Square. There’s no time to do anything else. But there’s a few things on the back burner, including another Blur album before too long.
Dave Rowntree
I haven't thought about writing so much as potentially

I haven’t thought about writing so much as potentially producing and finding my own projects to get into production. I want to be able to buy the rights to a story that I have read or a book that I have read.
Mandy Moore
It’s people, not possessions, that make home for me. It’s not that I get much time to entertain, or any of that, what with the television production schedule and, now, singing concerts all around the country and making recordings.
Jim Nabors
Dub has been a big influence in terms of production. It’s inspired so many people and so much music – in terms of music where mixing desk was the instrument. Central to that is the echo chamber, and I think there’s a little bit of a romantic thing there.
Mike D
When creating an album, one of the first things you have to think about is what you want your production style to be.
Laura Bell Bundy
As a producer, I think one of the most important decisions you make is not necessarily the material you are working on but the production apparatus that you choose to develop the project with, and that determines what funding you go to, it determines many factors.
Atom Egoyan
During the past three years spectacular progress has been made in increasing wheat, rice, and maize production in several of the most populous developing countries of southern Asia, where widespread famine appeared inevitable only five years ago.
Norman Borlaug
Venezuelans are tired of 14 years of promises and no results. The only things growing are inflation, murder and crime. The good indicators – production, education and jobs – are all falling.
Henrique Capriles Radonski
I’ve taken the leap of faith to stop punching the company time clock and start working for myself. I’m now the CEO of Starfish Media Group, my production company, in New York City.
Soledad O’Brien
Ridley Scott was part of the production team on ‘The Good Wife.’ I auditioned on my iPhone, and it moved very quickly after that, as they thought I was right for the role, and pretty soon I was filming in Iceland for two months.
Mike Colter
Personally, I’m not interested in getting more money for what I do; I’m just interested in more money being put into the production.
Richard C. Armitage
You have to fall in love with the production, and then there’s a certain mind-set that you develop where it does stay fresh in your mind.
Roy Conli
Pilot season can be maddening. You’re basically putting yourself and your talent out there to be scrutinized several times a day for months by network executives who have probably never acted in anything since their junior high school production of ‘The Wiz.’
Reid Scott
I don’t work for production houses. I only work for good scripts and roles. If you follow my career graph, you will find that I have not given a single flop yet in my career. I am proud of it.
Anushka Sharma
‘The Newsroom’ is phenomenally bad good TV. Sam Waterston and Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer are all terrific! So is the production, and the direction, and even the editing!
Alex Pareene
What really excites me is the production. I get in there and change a lot of stuff.
Aubrie Sellers
McSweeney’s as a publishing company is built on a business model that only works when we sell physical books. So we try to put a lot of effort into the design and production of the book-as-object.
Dave Eggers
I developed my own production company. I’m reading different books and writing, working on myself. I’m being focused on that, but also being focused on in front of the camera and balancing mommy life at the same time. I just want to continue to move forward.
Kyla Pratt
My streams have always been the best, consisted of the highest production quality… and I’m committed to continuing breaking creative horizons and engaging fans in an authentic manner. Anyone who’s not should just get out of the way.
Dr. Disrespect
It has given me an insight into what it’s like as an actor to come into a show in the middle of a production and fit into a group that’s already established.
Corin Nemec
At our production company, the trademark dish – and this sounds particularly revolting – is curried pickled herring.
Joshua Oppenheimer
I have a lot of respect for, always dig, the crew. Sometimes a lot more than the cast. But a good run production team is paramount to making a good film. You just can’t it done without a good line producer, without creative producers, without people who are making stuff happen.
Ben Foster
Good records – from my point of view, where I grew up which was Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull… bands that were pushing the envelope a little – musically and in production.
Kip Winger
Because of poverty, we must adopt the capitalist means of production to develop our resources to get rich. However, if we ignore the issue of social justice at the beginning of China’s industrialization, we will sow the seeds of class warfare in the future.
Sun Yat-sen
The simple truth is, the short-term solution is for the FDA to allow more importation of safe vaccines from other nations. But the long-term solution is to get more vaccine production within the U.S.
Larry Craig
The idea of ‘raw’ music, to me, is honesty: getting people to feel you with the least amount of production possible, the shortest distance traveled emotionally, sonically.
Fantastic Negrito
Developing the locally-run industry is very important in increasing the production of consumer goods.
Kim Jong-un
I have a production company,; I have a foundation. I have a lot of responsibilities. Not family – just a lot of responsibilities.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Food production is ripping the living world apart. Fishing and farming are, by a long way, the greatest cause of extinction and loss of the diversity and abundance of wildlife. Farming is a major cause of climate breakdown, the biggest cause of river pollution and a hefty source of air pollution.
George Monbiot
As the world’s sole remaining super power and economic powerhouses, our nation’s ability to be at the forefront of innovation and production has enabled unparalleled economic success of our nation’s workforce.
Leonard Boswell
‘Upstairs Downstairs’ and ‘Downton Abbey’ appeal to people because they’re about our history, they look so beautiful, are written by amazing writers and have high production values.
Keeley Hawes
Here’s my tip: Have your production hire the best hair stylists on the planet to do your films and commercials, then casually hint about how great it would be to get a trim during lunch break.
Mark Romanek
The product of mental labor - science - always stands f

The product of mental labor – science – always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.
Karl Marx
I’m not gonna be bad at anything, and I want to actually be the best at anything I’m doing. So if I’m playing basketball, if I’m taking the SATs, like, there’s a competitive spirit behind it. With production, it’s the same thing.
J. Cole
I was very aware that my path into the industry would probably be as an actress and not in production, that I could learn a lot that way. And I did.
Leslie Hope
I have enjoyed acting, but getting into production is hectic. I am not made for it.
Ayesha Takia
While boosting the production of consumer goods, we should channel great efforts into improving the welfare service for the people.
Kim Jong-un
A monopoly on the means of communication may define a ruling elite more precisely than the celebrated Marxian formula of monopoly in the means of production.
Robert Anton Wilson
There are very important and practical issues raised by following this alternative route which says, let’s look to material conditions, to the systems of production, to the needs that human beings have, and to competing alternative solutions to the satisfaction of those needs.
Marvin Harris
