The opportunity to build new and surprising partnerships to help Microsoft succeed in a mobile-first, cloud-first world is truly exciting, and I look forward to leading these efforts.
It’s the unusual leading man. Most of the Hollywood leading men are powerful and capable and strong, heroes. He has this vulnerability, he’s fragile, he struggles to find a way to live from day to day that we can identify with, that we can understand.

As a community, we’re fighting for Asians to play Asian roles. And then there’s the other battle, which is Asian Americans playing roles that aren’t written for Asians, and I think that’s something that completely should happen; Why can’t an Asian American male just play a leading cop figure… or the Matt Damon roles?

It’s a very big mental game, all day leading up to warm-ups. You’re not sure if your curveball will break, or will you be able to throw it over the plate? It’s all negative thoughts going into the game.
Instead of leading the world by how much we borrow, it’s time that we make sure we lead the world in how much we build and create and invest.
For a sculptor, a painter, a weaver, a potter, the dialogue between one’s materials and what one makes from them is easy to see: discover a new material or a new way to use a familiar one, and new things can be made, sometimes leading to the discovery of more new material, leading to more creation.

This program that the Republican majority has taken us toward as a country is leading us to fiscal bankruptcy.
A golf course should aspire to generate as much energy as it consumes – golf should be leading the way toward energy net zero.
King Lear alone among these plays has a distinct double action. Besides this, it is impossible, I think, from the point of view of construction, to regard the hero as the leading figure.
When you get into your 40s, the roles do tend to drop off, and I’ve seen it happening to friends of mine. Hopefully it is improving, and there are female TV executives now who are championing women of all ages in leading roles. But I’m not counting on it.
My system is to be considered a system leading up, in a general way, to education. It can be followed not only in the education of little children from three to six years of age, but can be extended to children up to ten years of age.

But being in the closet uniquely assisted me in politics. From my first run for the state legislature until my election as governor, all too often I was not leading but following my best guess at public opinion.
A Shakespearean tragedy as so far considered may be called a story of exceptional calamity leading to the death of a man in high estate. But it is clearly much more than this, and we have now to regard it from another side.
I was in a movie called ‘Vanishing on 7th Street,’ and that was my first leading role in a movie. It’s an apocalyptic thriller, and it’s really cool. It’s the first movie I ever shot.
Good entrepreneurs can manage, but no one but an entrepreneur can entrepreneur, let alone help build and lead the world’s community of leading social entrepreneurs and their top business entrepreneur allies.
‘Beauty Queen’ is the weirdest, strangest, and most perfect play to do before ‘Hedda Gabler’, because there are so many similar issues for Maureen and Hedda.

Reality is the leading cause of stress among those in touch with it.
People are not used to seeing an older woman on screen, unless she’s playing a character role. Why can’t they make a movie about a woman who’s forty-five who’s falling in love or getting divorced? Why does the leading role always have to be a woman who’s twenty-three or twenty-eight?
First of all, I’m Middle Eastern; I’m Iranian, so to be playing a leading role in a big Hollywood movie, I think, is possibly one of the first times.
What the world needs is a small, compact, flexible fusion technology that could make electricity where and when it is needed. The existing fusion program is leading to a huge source of centralized power, at a price that nobody except a government can afford.
