No one knows when a robot will approach human intelligence, but I suspect it will be late in the 21st century. Will they be dangerous? Possibly. So I suggest we put a chip in their brain to shut them off if they have murderous thoughts.

What my work is, is my approach to it. It’s the practice. And my work is about the effort that I make to get there. And I think if there’s anything artistic, it’s in that middle space.

Colin Powell
In an era of global value chains, worldwide sourcing an

In an era of global value chains, worldwide sourcing and the never-ending search for new markets, we must be careful to avoid the proliferation of regional standards. A multilateral approach holds wider benefits for more actors.

Ruud van Nistelrooy
To resolve problems through negotiation is a very childish approach.

Earl Blumenauer
I believe in a democratic approach to fashion: if you feel good, then great. You may not look good, but it’s not the problem.
Philip Treacy
For me, Picasso was the ultimate man. He taught me that photography is all about how you approach an image: what you do and what you don’t do. He inspired me to go beyond what you think is in front of you.
Rene Burri
Israel’s Supreme Court is one of the best in the world, and I think that it should stay that way; I don’t want to weaken it, I just want to change its approach.
Ayelet Shaked

K. D. Lang

Barbara Kopple
Trump sees the world in terms of a zero-sum game. In reality, globalisation, if well managed, is a positive-sum force: America gains if its friends and allies – whether Australia, the E.U., or Mexico – are stronger. But Trump’s approach threatens to turn it into a negative-sum game: America will lose, too.
Joseph Stiglitz

Jo Brand
I think I approach things with an outsider’s perspective.
Bennett Miller
Our strategy is very horizontal. We’re trying to build a social layer for everything. Basically, we’re trying to make it so that every app everywhere can be social, whether it’s on the web or mobile or other devices. So inherently, our whole approach has to be a breadth-first approach rather than a depth-first one.
Mark Zuckerberg
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Jean Paul
People who have a sense of self-efficacy bounce back fr

People who have a sense of self-efficacy bounce back from failure; they approach things in terms of how to handle them rather than worrying about what can go wrong.
Albert Bandura
Continental directors, as opposed to British and American, tend to be somewhat high-handed in their approach.

Salman Khan
Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone’s got their own character, and that’s the thing that’s amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone’s approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it’s all valid.
Jimmy Page
I do think voters are ready for a change in Olympia and after 28 years of one party rule, they are ready to put a new team on the field and bring a new approach to state government.

Simon van der Meer
Learning to fly an airplane taught me a way of thinking, an approach to problem-solving that was applicable and effective. Pilots are very methodical and meticulous, and artists tend not to be.
Chris Carter
Whether you were talking about Pillsbury, Burger King, Godfather’s, the National Restaurant Association, in each one of those situations, I had a daunting problem that I had to solve.

Guy Kawasaki
Nearer the gods no mortal may approach.
Edmond Halley
Most Americans approach the problems of the Middle East with a pro-Israeli bias – and rightly so.

Bill Nunn
There’s a big tendency to gravitate toward a closed and proprietary approach too easily.
Jimmy Wales
I think a lot of the instincts you have doing comedy are really the same for doing drama, in that it’s essentially about listening. The way I approach comedy, is you have to commit to everything as if it’s a dramatic role, meaning you play it straight.
Will Ferrell
My approach has always been rather sensual.
Jil Sander
I think the really good mountaineer is the man with the technical ability of the professional and with the enthusiasm and freshness of approach of the amateur.

John Schlesinger
I don't approach fashion; fashion approaches me!

I don’t approach fashion; fashion approaches me!
Daphne Guinness
I believe it’s important for us to have a diverse and free approach to making games in the way that we like.

I just want to do as many utterly different parts as I can get. Variety teaches you to act, and it keeps you fresh in your approach.
Betty Field
As we approach each of the great social challenges of our time we must acknowledge that old thinking will not provide the new solutions we need. These solutions will be uncomfortable, hard to sell and risky to execute. But the cost of not doing so is even greater.
Simon Mainwaring
I think that technology has both introduced new sounds but also allowed an increasingly painterly approach to recording music as you can now paint over what you’ve done and more and more refine an existing performance.
Jerry Harrison
The ideal way to approach a character is to find something in yourself that relates in some way.

Anthony Rizzo
I try to push design boundaries using new draping and fabric manipulation techniques every time I approach a new design.
Zac Posen

Sanjaya Baru
Approach each day with the same mindset that your opportunity can come within a blink of an eye.
Teddy Bridgewater
The danger of what’s happening right now in terms of using reconciliation is, the purpose of the Senate is going to be defeated. And that is to bring consensus to big issues in this country so that we have a reasoned and thoughtful approach and that the American public buys into it.
Tom Coburn
The regulatory approach of the Food and Drug Administration and the Patent and Trademark Office has driven up the costs of generic drugs.

Rufus Wainwright
Every day, the approach to life changes. And that’s what music is all about to me.
Rick Ross
People may have found it difficult to approach me, and I realised it and have worked on it. I used to be socially shy. Now I have become a social animal. I go out, meet and interact with people.
Shahid Kapoor
The proactive approach to a mistake is to acknowledge it instantly, correct and learn from it.
Stephen Covey
We must enforce the laws we have on the books, secure our borders, and deny special benefits to illegal immigrants such as in-state tuition rates. This approach is best for American citizens and is fair to those who have taken the time and effort to go through the legal immigration process.
Ron DeSantis
If you contrast the productivity that comes from a networked or capitalist distribution of resources versus a centralized planning system, frequently referred to as communism or socialism, the network approach does much better when it’s applied accurately.
Reid Hoffman
I always feel a little funny being in front of a lot of people trying to show them my approach to the ukulele, but I do enjoy it. I do get a little more nervous doing workshops rather than performing.
Jake Shimabukuro
In many respects I have gone out of my way to avoid the usual approach adopted in crime novels. I have used some techniques that are normally outlawed – the presentation of Mikael Blomkvist, for instance, is based exclusively on the personal case study made by Lisbeth Salander.
Stieg Larsson
I wanted the press to become something of a movement. Not a movement committed to a particular ‘ism’, but a gathering together of writers with an aesthetic approach to literature and with a lust for excellence.
John Metcalf
Truthfully, this is how I approach my workout: I want to be the best athlete I can possibly be. If I can out-perform some of the better athletes then I’m happy. When I look at the NFL or the NBA, these guys look how I want to look – it’s useable, functional muscle.
Channing Tatum
With a common-sense approach, we can reduce waste, fraud and abuse, cut back on unnecessary bureaucracy and provide for the pillars of a strong economy and life in our state.
Jaime Harrison
I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate – treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while, it wouldn’t be sustainable for me, and that’s what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life.
Alanis Morissette
I guess you should approach the roles differently when they’re actual people who have been, this is the difference. Getting the accent exact, or the hair exact is less important in a situation like this.
Mary Stuart Masterson
I don’t approach films purely in context of genre.
Roger Deakins
Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game.
Brett Favre
I don’t think my approach to acting is all necessarily in service of the character. I think, selfishly, I’ve put it in service of myself, my perspective on the world and helping my life.
Jake Gyllenhaal
We were criticized throughout that investigation for being too thorough, for taking too long. But time has proved the correctness of that approach.
Ken Starr
I think what’s been lacking from our discussion for a long time is really that other part of what a Budget chair does, which is set the priorities for this country in terms of making sure we invest in the right places, in education, in job training, and to make sure we do a balanced approach moving forward.
Patty Murray
I’ve spent enough time in the business community to know there are certain regulators who are very constructive in their approach – those who enforce the laws and who actually want to help you comply – and there are others who have a prosecutorial attitude.
Chris Gabrieli
When I design buildings, I think of the overall composi

When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.
Tadao Ando
It wasn’t until I discovered comics that I actually began to approach drawing as a possible career.
Scott McCloud
I have spent a lot of my career working on normative political philosophy, developing the ‘capabilities approach’ to social justice. I have also spent a lot of my career working on the structure of the emotions, and their role in human life.
Martha Nussbaum
There can only be one state of mind as you approach any profound test; total concentration, a spirit of togetherness, and strength.
Pat Riley
Some people approach every problem with an open mouth.
Adlai Stevenson I
President Obama’s approach embodies the values, the ideas, and the direction America must take to build a 21st century version of the American Dream in a nation of shared opportunities, shared prosperity and shared responsibilities.
William J. Clinton
I was always a little hesitant to accuse people of loading a bat to hit a ball farther. I was always very hesitant to approach people because I never had any evidence that I had firsthand knowledge of.
Joe Torre
My approach is to start from the straightforward principle that our body is a machine. A very complicated machine, but none the less a machine, and it can be subjected to maintenance and repair in the same way as a simple machine, like a car.
Aubrey de Grey
For a few thousand years, women had no history. Marriage was our calling, and meekness our virtue. Over the last century, in stuttering succession, we have gained a voice, a vote, a room, a playing field of our own. Decorously or defiantly, we now approach what surely qualifies as the final frontier.
Stacy Schiff
I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did, and I get the sweats, I go in and start working, I’m not sure where I’m going.
Frank Gehry
My desire to experiment comes from my attention-deficit approach to cosmetics. I just get really bored, really easily.
Paloma Faith
I’ve never made a film that I didn’t believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I’ve always given everything to it. That’s kind of how I approach life. I can’t help it. There’s no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life.
Tom Cruise
Film and television is just a different technique in terms of how to approach the camera but basically the job is the same; but what you learn as a craft in theater, you can then learn to translate that into any mediums.
Joe Morton
Miss Rice talks very tough. We have gotten used to this nonsense. Miss Rice is a bit emotional about this, and we predicted that she would have a more emotional approach to this.
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani
When I’m playing with the band or playing with some projects or some of my own stuff it’s about the musical approach. That would be the more turntablist approach to things of where it’s strictly about music.
Eric San
What attracted me to Jimmy Bulger were the various facets of his personality and his humanity because I felt that the only way I could approach playing a character like him was to find his human side first and then map that out to see where it took the turn. He was a very complicated man.
Johnny Depp
I love that Viking era, but also they’re a fatalistic people and that dictated their fearlessness in battle and approach to life.
Chris Hemsworth
I have not been part of an active counterculture movement, as it is not the approach that I have personally pursued to create a qualitatively beneficial and meaningful impact on society.
Al Seckel
I’m not really a country singer, although I did make a couple albums and love its simple, straight-from-the-heart approach, but I have always sung a lot of jazz, show tunes, pop tunes, gospel and blues.
Dinah Shore
Simultaneously, the movie business now experiments with a colorblind approach to casting.
Michael Medved

Lal Bahadur Shastri
The voluntary approach to corporate social responsibility has failed in many cases.

I cannot approach someone; I lack the confidence when it comes to the guy I desire. I’m very good when it comes to matchmaking and hooking others up. But I can’t help my own cause.
Kangana Ran
aut
My approach to politics is that I’m not a Democrat or a Republican. I’m an American and I always support candidates I think are great for the country.
Marc Benioff
I never approach a character from a negative place.
Nina Arianda
The only thing we don’t do together is get in front of an actor and show any indecision at all about what we think. We don’t always agree, so we meet privately, then one or the other will approach the actor.
Bobby Farrelly
There’s no way to approach anything in an objective way. We’re completely subjective; our view of the world is completely controlled by who we are as human beings, as men or women, by our age, our history, our profession, by the state of the world.
Charlie Kaufman
The approach of liberty makes even an old man brave.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
If you’re scared to lose rather than excited to win, then that’s the wrong way to approach a race.
Cate Campbell
Hitler was such an anomalous character – he was so over-the-top chaotic in his approach to statesmanship, his manner and in the violence which overwhelmed the country initially. I think diplomats around the world… felt like something like that simply would not be tolerated by the people of Germany.
Erik Larson
But here too it should be noted that the President's ap

But here too it should be noted that the President’s approach was to first ask the repressive and brutal Taliban to surrender Osama bin Laden to us, and only after that government refused to do that did we invade.
Barney Frank
I’ve always been interested in character-driven pieces, and my approach to directing is through acting.
Steve Buscemi
And my approach has always been to stand up and speak out on behalf of the economic rights of people.
Dennis Kucinich
Acting for screen is very different from acting on stage, and then obviously when you dance… everything is a physical embodiment. But the discipline is the same approach. You have to take both things seriously; nothing well-crafted is by mistake.
Amanda Schull
I am not getting any younger and am taking a new approach to life.
Alfre Woodard
Chimpanzees, typically, kiss and embrace after fights. They first make eye contact from a distance to see the mood of the others. Then they approach and kiss and embrace.
Frans de Waal
Here is my general approach to the energy companies. You have already charged the utilities a 50 percent credit penalty for the power they were buying from you. You’re charging us a penalty. You’re not going to get two bites of the apple here.
Gray Davis
Approach the game with no preset agendas and you’ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.
Phil Jackson
I don’t think I approach my songs differently from other artists. You get a big picture of it, and you imagine the song and hear and feel it, and that big picture is like a snapshot, and it comes to you as fast as it takes to click a camera.
Steve Vai
I tend to approach things from a physics framework. And physics teaches you to reason from first principles rather than by analogy.
Elon Musk
I am convinced that this approach, a mainstream Democratic approach, commands the strong support of the American people, and presents a sharp and compassionate contrast to the Republican abortion position which offers no real hope or commitment to mother or child.
Robert Casey
Our career path has tended to be the most perverse and contrary approach to the entertainment industry imaginable, while at the same time doing the kinds of things that you have to do, the videos, the photos and all that sort of stuff.
Peter Garrett
Well I do think there are people who are habitually negative and depressed and take the opposite approach because they imagine the worst, and their minds become dominated by that. They let their own emotions and expectations transform their perceptions of the world.
Barbara Ehrenreich
My approach to the story… is if you can get into a criminal’s mind and understand how it works and understand how crime is committed, you can help prevent it from happening to someone else.
Chris Hansen
Approach the game with no preset agendas and you’ll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.
Phil Jackson
Everybody’s going to approach a character differently, depending upon what they bring to it on their own intellectual level or their feelings from their heart and soul.
Peter Cullen
President Obama has offered a plan with 4 trillion dollars in debt reduction over a decade, with two and a half dollars of spending reductions for every one dollar of revenue increases, and tight controls on future spending. It’s the kind of balanced approach proposed by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission.
William J. Clinton
Affirmative action was never meant to be permanent, and now is truly the time to move on to some other approach.
Susan Estrich
I don’t go to Mass every day. But I go to church every day. Just sitting there, thinking – it’s a great way to start the morning, you know? You feel so good coming out, and your approach to everything is suddenly really clear.
Mark Wahlberg
Advertisers are not thinking radically enough – they look for technology to lead instead of trying the neuroscience approach and thinking about what parts of the brain haven’t been activated before. These new experiences bring new capabilities to the brain.
Jaron Lanier
Our multiaccess approach will make the life of the customer simpler.
Jean-Marie Messier
Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.
Tony Robbins
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
Efforts to promote financial stability through adjustments in interest rates would increase the volatility of inflation and employment. As a result, I believe a macro-prudential approach to supervision and regulation needs to play the primary role.
Janet Yellen
Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.
Van Morrison
I don’t have a very disciplined approach to practicing or anything, but I do tend to have a guitar around most of the time, which I strum on most of the day.
David Gilmour
Scoring animated films, I have the exact same approach and philosophy as I do for a live action. It’s all story- and character-driven. I don’t care if it’s a mouse or Tom Cruise.
Michael Giacchino
I now need to take a very aggressive approach to having a baby.
Connie Chung
A fascinating challenge facing today’s environmental movement is how to best approach the reversal of past decisions that altered once-pristine environmental spaces for the sake of urgent man-made needs.
Matt Gonzalez
People often assume that the same approach will work for everyone, that the same habits will work for everyone, and that everyone has the same aptitude and appetite for forming habits, but from my observation, that’s not true.
Gretchen Rubin
There’s the famous quote that if you want to understand how animals live, you don’t go to the zoo, you go to the jungle. The Future Lab has really pioneered that within Lego, and it hasn’t been a theoretical exercise. It’s been a real design-thinking approach to innovation, which we’ve learned an awful lot from.
Jorgen Vig Knudstorp
Women tend to break the network of friends they make, b

Women tend to break the network of friends they make, but it is a habit that men have learned. It is an approach to life that involves planning almost without thinking about it. And men sustain this. I came from a northern grammar school. I had a good education, but I didn’t have a good network.
Pauline Neville-Jones
The main advantage of the omniscient approach is that it’s the easiest to handle. That’s the major reason so many writers select it.
Arthur Herzog
Younger women tend to be busier, wearing more layers and more make-up. I don’t know if it’s because older women are more confident, or just that we don’t care any more. But that pared-down approach is the same with the sentences I write; I take out adjectives and adverbs and keep the description to a minimum.
Tracy Chevalier
My proposal to re-establish diplomatic relations – not necessarily friendly relations, but diplomatic relations – is a sensible, simple, and straightforward approach that will finally get us off dead center.
Cyrus Vance
I remember when Victoria Wood started to come through, and I thought she was great, though she and I are very different in our approach.
Jo Brand
I’ve had a ton of fast-food jobs – it changes your approach to human interaction forever.
Beth Ditto
There’s nothing but spirit in music. That’s all it is. Yeah, there’s a lot of intellectual elements to it, but no matter how you approach it, it’s all spirit.
Amos Lee
You know, with the film industry crews, there’s an odd mix between a very technical and a very artistic approach to the work, and sometimes as a woman you have to be a little bit careful about how things come out because people don’t really want to listen if it’s in a certain emotional tone or too strong.
Kristen Stewart
The point never to lose sight of is to be guided by the correct thing, as you see it. It’s the only way to approach such profound matters and retain your integrity.
Charles Kennedy
‘Gatekeeper’ was sort of my first attempt to put a little bit of a frame and boundaries around songwriting, and try to figure out a way to approach it that had a sort of end result in mind. I haven’t written many like that.
Feist
The advantage of the analytical approach is that it is widely applicable, and it can provide a considerable amount of quantitative information even with a relatively poor resolving power.
Christian de Duve
If you take golf, you have a teacher for the drive, a teacher for the approach play, and a teacher for the putt. That’s three specialist coaches for one player. In football, one coach looks after 25 players.
Johan Cruyff
The major driver of economics is the equilibrium approach, which has taken various forms over the years. General equilibrium is the statement that all the different parts of the economy influence each other, even if it’s remote, like mortgage-backed securities and their demands on automobiles.
Kenneth Arrow
Why do children dread mathematics? Because of the wrong approach. Because it is looked at as a subject.
Shakuntala Devi
I think one of the lessons of the Depression – and this is something that Franklin Roosevelt demonstrated – was that when orthodoxy fails, then you need to try new things. And he was very willing to try unorthodox approaches when the orthodox approach had shown that it was not adequate.
Ben Bernanke
If someone comes to me, any community in the Northern Territory, with a viable economic future, and says, ‘We want to be part of a bold new approach,’ I’ll put them down as a major project, and I’ll do everything I can to help them out.
Adam Giles
You have to be just as mistrustful of straightforward rationality in business as you do of a uniquely gut approach.
Bernard Arnault
I don’t understand the Democrats’ approach to Social Security in this country, and I’m not alone.
William Weld
I think starting in anime, like I did, gave me a good idea of how to approach games that come from Japan. Japanese developers can be very different from companies here in the western market.
Laura Bailey
We must draw on the unique strengths of the Japanese economy, seek an open and cooperative approach with our international partners, and intelligently exploit the promise of new growth areas.
Yoshihiko Noda
Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Working with Bryan Cranston on ‘Breaking Bad’ has been totally thrilling because he is so clear in his approach.
Jessica Hecht
Many art-worlders have an if-you-say-so approach to art: Everyone is so scared of missing out on the next hot artist that it’s never clear whether people are liking work because they like it or because other people do. Everyone is keeping up with the Joneses, and there are more Joneses than ever.
Jerry Saltz
My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.
Eric Williams
Run toward the hardest problems. This approach has helped me to learn a tremendous amount from both success and failure.
Lisa Su
I always try to approach character first and foremost viscerally.
Patricia Clarkson
Every time I write a song my approach changes.
Shawn Mendes
Google is making a huge investment in developing the Ajax approach.
Jesse James Garrett
I approach ‘Fast & Furious 6’ the same way I would approach a Sidney Lumet film. Getting into character’s getting into character.
Vin Diesel
To me, Shane Warne is a great turner of the ball. I like his aggressive attitude, I love the way he attacks batsmen, and I give him 100 per cent for that, as not enough spinners bowl with that approach, but in my estimation, Subhash Gupte was a better leg-spinner.
Garfield Sobers
You know, master classes are essentially extended Q&As. That’s how I always approach them. I don’t mean to downplay it. It’s just that I never fancy myself as someone who is taking a class. ‘Master class’ insinuates a teacher, and I’m not one.
Sean Baker
I think if we just stay focused on what we focus on, wh

I think if we just stay focused on what we focus on, which is ourselves, playing good ballgames, trying to win every day, don’t take wins with us, don’t take losses with us, if we just stay with that approach the results are going to be what they’re going to be.
Gerrit Cole
I felt the way people talked to me was like, ‘It’s OK to be No. 2 in the NFL, a backup,’ and things like that. That’s never been my approach.
Colin Kaepernick
I just try to approach and serve the music in the way that I think is right for the band I’m in at the time.
Chad Smith
I do believe anybody manufacturing products for healthcare cannot regard it truly as a 100 per cent business: it is business plus a humanitarian approach to society because you are saving lives. You are playing with people’s lives.
Yusuf Hamied
Everyone says to you, ‘if you play Ophelia, you’ll end up crazy,’ but we’re all somewhere on the spectrum of mental health, and I think that if you approach it that way it’s not such an intimidating issue.
Gugu Mbatha-Raw
I like to treat paint as material – to daub it, drop it, let it slide. There was Action Painting, but I also compare it to paint effects found on the streets. This approach is superimposed on a sculptural surface that is also ‘painterly.’
Claes Oldenburg
We believe a renewed commitment to limited government will unshackle our economy and create millions of new jobs and opportunities for all people, of every background, to succeed and prosper. Under this approach, the spirit of initiative – not political clout – determines who succeeds.
Paul Ryan
I’m noticing a new approach to art making in recent museum and gallery shows. It flickered into focus at the New Museum’s ‘Younger Than Jesus’ last year and ran through the Whitney Biennial, and I’m seeing it blossom and bear fruit at ‘Greater New York,’ MoMA P.S. 1’s twice-a-decade extravaganza of emerging local talent.
Jerry Saltz
My approach to training changed dramatically throughout my experience as one of the trainers on ‘The Biggest Loser.’ Getting to know each person was an important reminder that to get the body physically fit, you must first get mentally and emotionally ‘fit.’
Brett Hoebel
I worked in sales. It was definable, it had a quantifiable approach to accomplishment that had a great deal of importance to me. It had a degree of clarity that I loved. And of course, it was core.
Anne M. Mulcahy
Corporations hope that the right concept will turn things around overnight. This is what you might call the crash-diet approach: starve yourself for a few days and you’ll be thin for life.
James Surowiecki
I approach everything as chamber music. Even with Beethoven symphonies, I lead from the violin and basically encourage the orchestra to think of it as a giant string quartet.
Joshua Bell
Just because you are CEO, don’t think you have landed. You must continually increase your learning, the way you think, and the way you approach the organization. I’ve never forgotten that.
Indra Nooyi
I take a laid-back approach to a lot of things in life and, at the end of the day, rugby’s just a game.
Beauden Barrett
South Dakota, like a lot of rural states, small states, there are small cities with a very big work ethic, very common sense approach. That has certainly shaped me.
Kevin Brady
I would say that the woman’s ability to multi-task and to be maternal in instinct, it fosters a different approach to the character that makes sense as an actor.
Omari Hardwick
I am deeply impressed with the gravity and wisdom with which most federal judges approach the responsibility of sentencing. It is a difficult, soul-searching task at best.
Robert Kennedy
Bill Condon, I must say, may have been one of the best professional experiences of my life, collaborating with him. He, himself, is an Academy Award winning screenwriter. He is a storyteller first and foremost, so we speak the same language. We approach things always from the story.
Melissa Rosenberg
I like to approach comedy from character, to have the stakes for the individuals in the story be very high.
Seth Gordon
Internet TV and the move to the digital approach is quite revolutionary. TV has historically has been a broadcast medium with everybody picking from a very finite number of channels.
Bill Gates
Salad can get a bad rap. People think of bland and watery iceberg lettuce, but in fact, salads are an art form, from the simplest rendition to a colorful kitchen-sink approach.
Marcus Samuelsson
When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space.
Tadao Ando
The disciplined approach to pursuing and selecting the most attractive investment opportunities continues to distinguish ExxonMobil. We are long-term driven, and we’re patient. And we’re not opportunity-constrained.
Rex Tillerson
If you take the approach that you want to scrape every last nickel off the table, that’ll work one or two times, but after awhile, your reputation will precede you.
Tom Hicks
You should approach a sequencer like you would a Dobro guitar.
Colin Greenwood
The game plan might be different based on the opponent, but the approach is the same.
Andre Ward
By employing a certain sense of humor, you essentially get more serious about things and show conflict more effectively than if you were overly dramatic or only violent because that’s a one-way approach that just forces audiences to watch something appalling.
Yorgos Lanthimos
It is important that the decorum and dignity of the House is upheld at all times. The image of Parliament in the public mind should be one where proceedings, debates and discussions take place with a view to resolve issues through a constructive and co-operative approach.
Pratibha Patil
But it wasn’t just a technical approach towards the piano, studying the music for this film was also a way of approaching the soul of the film, because the film is really about the soul of Schubert and the soul of Bach.
Isabelle Huppert
The old approach of sacrificing the needs of one group to benefit another just won’t work.
Mike Simpson
I design from instinct. It’s the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut.
Donna Karan
The approach to make more gorgeous-looking graphics...

The approach to make more gorgeous-looking graphics… to have the horsepower, to have much faster processing – they don’t do anything to ask nongamers to play with a video game.
Satoru Iwata
My approach to ‘Eastenders’ is the same as my approach to film and the same approach to theatre. Whatever I do, I use the same skills and tools.
Steve McFadden
I always approach logic without emotion. The math always equals the math. Regardless of whether I discovered the math before anyone else, or I just decided to accept it, I know what logically makes sense, and I’m going to speak on it every time.
Damon Dash
If you approach an opera as though it were something that always went a certain way, that’s what you get. I approach an opera as though I didn’t know it.
Sarah Caldwell
When I look at the chaotic and volatile debate right now, both in Germany and around the world, my impression and concern is that the daily barrage of proposals and political statements is making markets and consumers even more nervous. Still, Brussels is pressing for a joint European approach.
Peer Steinbruck
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln
For me, the strike zone has always been, If it’s something I can drive, it’s most likely a strike. I feel like if it’s a ball I really can’t do much with, it’s most likely a ball. So that’s just always been my approach.
Aaron Judge
The role model approach to social change is no substitute for challenging unjust employment practices, educational policies and housing.
Patricia Hill Collins
Magical realism allows an artist like myself to inject layers of meaning without being obvious. In American culture, where there is freedom of expression, this approach may seem forced, unnecessary and misunderstood. But this system of communication has become very Iranian.
Shirin Neshat
It seems the best approach for any venture is a combo platter – Japan’s quality-consciousness paired with America’s willingness to experiment and (sometimes) fail.
Daniel H. Pink
It’s a terrific… you can’t put it down. So I phoned him back and I said I’d love to do it. I went over to Paris for a meeting, and we just talked very generally about the approach.
Ronald Harwood
You learn, just as you learn good manners, how to approach things with a certain amount of diplomacy.
Robert MacNeil
Keeping a feminine approach is vital – men hate bossy females.
Ida Lupino
My approach to beauty is all about moods. If you want to feel sexy, if you want to feel feminine or, I don’t know, boyish – it’s all about how you feel at that point in time. My mood changes.
Banks
We need what I have often called an ecological approach to the management of these resources and we do not have that now. We have the inertia of past habits, unsustainable habits.
Maurice Strong
I approach the world as a whole by taking an integrative approach, not a world of parts, and I like to bring different fields and disciplines together. The same is true with my preoccupation with cultural expression.
Neri Oxman
Essentially, pride is a ‘my will’ rather than ‘thy will’ approach to life.
Ezra Taft Benson
I realise that I had the best of serious picture journalism. There was an innocence in our approach, especially in the 1950s and 1960s when we naively believed that by holding a mirror up to the world we could help – no matter how little – to make people aware of the human condition.
Eve Arnold
Some children may need a behavioral approach, whereas other children may need a sensory approach.
Temple Grandin
I take a more holistic approach to fitness than trying to achieve a certain body to display.
Farhan Akhtar
I approach music and acting the same way, through spontaneous improvisation. I never really try to rehearse anything, do it over and over, except when we’re inside a take.
Matt Schulze
A successful entrepreneur can’t be afraid of failures or setbacks. An initial setback can be a great opportunity to take a new and more promising approach to any problem, to come back stronger than ever.
John Roos
I think baking cookies is equal to Queen Victoria running an empire. There’s no difference in how seriously you take the job, how seriously you approach your whole life.
Martha Stewart
Seriously, my music really does help my acting, and, like, getting in and out of a character from a different lifestyle and writing a song about it. Likewise, my acting inspires the music because I can write a theme that I wouldn’t necessarily approach at all in life.
Bryan Greenberg
I think I take what you might call a B-movie story, deal with B-movie subjects, and I treat it as if it’s an A-movie in terms of my approach, my crew, my actors, my ethics and so on. I guess that’s my trademark or one of them, anyway!
M. Night Shyamalan
I always take a less-is-more approach to my routine, and use products that create a sun-kissed glow that can transition from day to night.
Charlotte Ronson
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
Abraham Lincoln
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Steve Jobs
I still approach a scene as one would approach a solo. There’s nothing set or pat.
Johnny Depp
I’ve approached so many things in my life with such intensity that I want to approach motherhood with dedication and focus.
Drew Barrymore
Some spider silks are really strong, but not all of them are. The ones that are really strong can actually rival steel and approach the tensile strength of Kevlar. Thus far, the dragline silk seems to be the strongest.
Cheryl Hayashi
The reason why I have survived as long as I have surviv

The reason why I have survived as long as I have survived is what my friends, comrades and supporters thought was an extraordinarily cautious approach.
Ernst Zundel
I approach every film as my first film.
Ayushmann Khurrana
I approach writing stories as a recorder. I think of my role as some kind of reporting device – recording and projecting.
Jhumpa Lahiri
It’s been all over the press, and schools are deciding to shut it down. We released a public announcement saying that we had some potential solutions that we were working with, and once we had something concrete we would start implementing it and approach schools.
Shawn Fanning
I always try to make myself be very approachable and easy to talk to, so hopefully people will feel that they can approach me.
Kristanna Loken
In 1964, I tried to convince my grandfather, who was active in the New York City firefighters union, to vote for Barry Goldwater over Lyndon Johnson because at the time I thought his approach to limited government was right on.
Joe Lhota
I think compassion is the only way to approach any subject, especially if it’s to do with physical appearance. I don’t think it’s really about tearing something apart.
Jameela Jamil
I learned to approach racing like a game of billiards. If you bash the ball too hard, you get nowhere. As you handle the cue properly, you drive with more finesse.
Juan Manuel Fangio
The best way to preserve your privacy is to use a search engine that does not keep your logs in the first place. That’s the approach used by Startpage and its European parent company, Ixquick.
Barton Gellman
My approach to every game was to try to erase the games that were before and try to focus on the game at hand.
Cal Ripken, Jr.
It’s a hard thing to do, to be given a script, and know that you’ve got to turn up on the first day of the shoot – generally without having had any rehearsal – and present a character. It’s really baffling; it’s incredibly hard to know how to begin, to approach it, other than just thinking about it.
Emily Mortimer
My theme for philanthropy is the same approach I used with technology: to find a need and fill it.
An Wang
My claim is simply that the literary approach is one necessary way to read and interpret the Bible, an approach that has been unjustifiably neglected. Despite that neglect, the literary approach builds at every turn on what biblical scholars have done to recover the original, intended meaning of the biblical text.
Leland Ryken
Singing in church is a very different approach to music. It’s very much about transcending the idea of self. It’s about finding something greater that connects all of us. Gospel music is about tapping into that.
Lizz Wright
I know that some filmmakers strive for a kind of naturalistic approach, but you’re never going to capture something that’s really natural – just the simple fact that you choose to put a frame around something means that you’ve already chosen one particular thing to put more attention on.
Jarvis Cocker
It’s very difficult to change your approach to how you see yourself when you suddenly get divorced. And you have to think again, over the next few years, how you’re going to earn your income, how you’re going to run your life. You have to identify as a single mother rather than as part of a family.
Amber Rudd
I approach my character with the question: What would an animal think? How would an animal respond? A lot of times, it’s quick action and no fear, and sometimes it’s irrational fear. You don’t always know.
Victoria Pratt
I’ve played in small markets; I’ve played in big markets. For me, basketball is inside the arena. It doesn’t recognize what market you’re in. It’s about wins and losses, and that’s the way I approach it.
Jason Kidd
When I approach my music and my music videos, obviously all of the subjects and stories that I tell come from an honest, truthful place and the experiences that I’ve had.
Hayley Kiyoko
Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.
Tony Robbins
I seek speed, clarity, and a practical approach in people I mingle and work with. I can’t see myself working in films that stretch beyond maximum four months.
Ravi Teja
I’ve always been a big fan of taking old songs and completely turning them on their head. Having no adherence to the fine tradition of the original version. Rearranging them and taking a different approach to them.
Joe Bonamassa
Given that GPs are essentially a private part of our health care system, providing services independently of the rest of the health service, NHS England is supposed to take a strategic approach to co-ordinating GP practices.
Emily Thornberry
If the goal of health-care reform is to provide comprehensive, universal health care in a cost-effective way, the only honest approach is a single-payer approach.
Bernie Sanders
Once the amateur’s naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur.
Alfred Eisenstaedt
Sting I’ve seen a few times, and he really inspired me in the sense that he breaks the songs down a lot and will take a different approach. He’ll take an acoustic approach to them; he’ll rearrange them for the live stage.
Shania Twain
I think we’re quite unique in that we do have our own sound and approach and we don’t really care what’s going on elsewhere… we’ve never wanted to be part of another trend or movement.
Alex Lifeson
From now on, I approach the cinema as a business woman. I intend to be in more action movies because, apart from Angelina Jolie, no other actress stands out in this genre.
Milla Jovovich
There’s full consensus in the military that women shouldn’t be in person-to-person combat. I don’t know if we have enough experience to know whether this is the right approach. But women can be elsewhere. We have mandatory military service in Chile. I pushed for women in all areas.
Michelle Bachelet
In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don’t know if either one of them is the right approach to nature.
Roger Penrose
I approach love differently now that I know it’s hard for it to work out.
Taylor Swift
As with lemon juice, the more sorrel you use, the more

As with lemon juice, the more sorrel you use, the more it has to be balanced with something sweet, starchy or creamy – it’s a yin-yang approach to cooking that I find rather calming.
Yotam Ottolenghi
I have a very simple approach in career: You work with the people you love.
Ken Jeong
I approach video games the same way I approach theatre, filmmaking, poetry, or painting. I wish more people would take that point of view. It would help the industry to move on.
David Cage
Approach every film with the same enthusiasm, regardless of its budget.
Lou Diamond Phillips
I directed the men in our barque to approach near the savages, and hold their arms in readiness to do their duty in case they notice any movement of these people against us.
Samuel de Champlain
I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.
Nick Cave
People who have a sense of self-efficacy bounce back from failure; they approach things in terms of how to handle them rather than worrying about what can go wrong.
Albert Bandura
The largest and most influential houses chiefly demonstrate the aloofness of the French approach.
Stephen Gardiner
If you have good songs and a real desire to make music, the next thing to do, instead of approach record companies, is to get yourself a really good manager because then it allows you to focus on your profession of being a musician. Then they can focus on the darker art of the record label and the music industry.
James Blunt
I think it’s my nature to try and make original content, and that’s what I’ve done, is just try and approach things in an original way, and do things differently.
Darren Aronofsky
There are two ways to wake up. You can wake up thinking about what you know, or you wake up thinking and saying ‘What can I learn?.’ That’s a very different approach.
Tori Amos
I went to L’Academie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and I think French cooking is the basis for a lot of classical cuisine, a foundation of a lot of other cuisines. That said, it’s not the only way to approach a cooking career.
Carla Hall
As a woman, my style defines my leadership. It’s a gentler, more compassionate approach. I consult, I listen and I compromise where it’s in the best interest of the citizens.
Kamla Persad-Bissessar
If I read a script and find it engaging and I start making choices in my mind on how to approach the work, than that’s a good indication that it is something worth pursuing.
Karl Urban
Climate change is real, and we need to work on a comprehensive approach. We eliminated sulfur dioxide in the air, and got rid of acid rain. We got rid of lead in gasoline. You can achieve these things when the private and public sectors work together.
John Fetterman
I have a rather naive approach, I think, to my job.
Ben Kingsley
My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.
John Frusciante
You feel you can pretend to be young until you’re 50, but after that, what happens and how do you approach it?
Sharon Horgan
My background is sociology. Combined with my graphic approach, if I could do some film projects, I think I’d be very good at making documentaries eventually, but people don’t think of me for that, of course. But dialogue is something I know I can be good at.
David Carson
I think the growing interest in stakeholder capitalism stems from companies genuinely invested in doing good for our world, because it’s the right thing to do and because businesses who take this approach are stronger.
Doug McMillon
I think that the idea of having a different approach to every single one of my albums is so exciting to me. I never want to make the same record twice. Why do it? What’s the point?
Taylor Swift
Ultimately, I think, as humans, we all care deeply about our life’s legacy, and contemplating our own mortality is the only real way to approach that question of legacy honestly.
Mark Manson
Day and night cannot dwell together. The Red Man has ever fled the approach of the White Man, as the morning mist flees before the morning sun.
Chief Seattle
Directors approach me for doing ‘strong’ women characters which, as an actor, increases a sense of responsibility to give my 100 per cent and even more for the faith they entrust on me.
Aishwarya Rajesh
I like to find those shirts that they only made one of. That’s my approach to style. But my vintage T-shirt collection is a little ridiculous.
Josh Henderson
I don’t really approach a character as to whether or not it’s good or bad. I just approach a character as to where it lives in me.
Zachary Quinto
Illness and death are not optional. Patients have a right to determine how they approach them.
Marcia Angell
I don’t want to sound too critical, but we’re taking a wait-and-see approach on UltraViolet.
Bob Iger
My approach is to be part of a band that makes music, not hit songs.
Adam Jones
My music is mostly for the music. And it gives the liberty to do anything which I want. And nobody limits me to one genre of music. But I learn from life and I try to give back to life, in a way, whether it’s the thought of the song or whether it’s the approach to the arrangement or anything.
A. R. Rahman
As a matter of principle, I always come to a film like a blank slate, I don’t learn my lines in advance. With this approach, I feel clean.
Jeanne Moreau
Actually, when I'm not filming a movie, my beauty appro

Actually, when I’m not filming a movie, my beauty approach is really natural – I prefer a bare face that looks really healthy and dewy.
Eva Green
Scotland is one of my favourite places to perform: it’s really something special. Scottish audiences are just so enthusiastic; their approach to dance music just feels similar to my own somehow.
Moby
Where is instruction in relationships, in the management of career, in the raising of children, in the pursuit of friendship, in the wise approach to anxiety and death? All this sort of stuff I craved to learn about when I was a student and down to this day.
Alain de Botton
People are sheepish when they approach me.
Ryan Phillippe
Originally when I went off to work on ‘The Lord of The Rings’ I got a call from my agent saying that I was just going to do a voice. But I couldn’t really approach it like that. To get Gollum’s voice I had to play the character.
Andy Serkis
I’m just trying to approach what I make with as much respect and research as I can, and just make it with a good heart.
Garth Davis
I am flattered that they think that many people would enjoy my work. I don’t approach any genre a different way than I may approach another one. I treat every role I do like a role worthy of applying whatever kind of tactic, process and talent I have.
Vin Diesel
I think we have the approach that every race is a sprint. Some races are just longer sprints than others.
Katie Ledecky
In December 2012, the U.S. 9th district court granted a temporary injunction to the Japanese whalers that ordered the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society U.S.A. to not approach within 500 yards of the whaling vessels.
Paul Watson
I think the approach of the character for us is the same in a silent movie as in a talking movie because we had balance, we had lines to learn.
Berenice Bejo
My teachers helped guide and motivate me; but the responsibility of learning was left with me, an approach to learning which was later reinforced by my experiences at Amherst.
Joseph Stiglitz
Compared to the United States, physicians in Europe have a much more conservative approach to joint replacement in general.
Allen Boyd
While we can never truly repay the debt we owe our heroes, the least we should do for our brave veterans is to ensure that the government takes a proactive approach to delivering the services and benefits they have earned, so they can access the care they need and so richly deserve.
Kirsten Gillibrand
The trick with computers I think, is to approach old and new things with the same reverence as you would like your favourite chair and not be seduced by the constant innovation otherwise you never do anything.
Colin Greenwood
I’m clenched down, I’m locked in on it, which is my general approach to life.
James Ellroy
We still have a soft approach on the perpetrators of crimes like worst forms of child labour.
Kailash Satyarthi
I think the reason I choose the comic approach so often is because it’s harder, therefore affording me the opportunity to show off.
Rita Mae Brown
The whole kiss-and-tell thing is a negative approach that often happens in a World Cup. We will see negative stories about the players and it can affect their confidence and the overall performance of the national team on the pitch, let alone the bid to actually stage the competition.
Gary Lineker
I’m going to be vocal, but I’m not going to be just yelling around. That’s not me. But I can go talk to guys. I can lead by example by my hard work and my approach every day and with how I prepare for games, practices.
Nikola Vucevic
The avant-garde theater is fun; it is free-swinging, bold, iconoclastic, and often wildly, wildly funny. If you will approach it with childlike innocence – putting your standard responses aside, for they do not apply – if you will approach it on its own terms, I think you will be in for a liberating surprise.
Edward Albee
Writing is my way of diving deep into an issue. My approach is to watch, read and listen – sometimes for years – in order to grasp the dynamics, resistance and patterns of thought that repeat and impede progress and breakthrough.
Paul Hawken
The great lesson I get from ‘Moby-Dick’ is that when the times are bad, when there is great foreboding, there are still ways to go about living. It’s through Ishmael that I find a kind of overall cosmic approach to a meaningful life in this meaningless world.
Nathaniel Philbrick
Diana Krall knocks me out. I like jazz and I like her simple approach.
Merle Haggard
The government must adopt a rights-based approach that speaks to the needs and aspirations of surrogate mothers, children born out of surrogacy, and all individuals who want access to altruistic surrogacy services.
Kapil Sibal
When the wedding march sounds the resolute approach, the clock no longer ticks, it tolls the hour. The figures in the aisle are no longer individuals, they symbolize the human race.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Mr. Obama’s approach to engagement to some degree makes him dependent on people who wish neither him nor America well. This doesn’t have to end badly and I hope that it doesn’t – but it’s not an ideal position after one’s first year in power.
Walter Russell Mead
We approach people the same way we approach our cars. We take the poor kid to a doctor and ask, What’s wrong with him, how much will it cost, and when can I pick him up?
James Hillman
My mom taught me the power of love. I learned to focus on the long-term big picture from my father. His sense of humor and light-hearted approach always make me smile. My husband is a pivotal anchor in my life. His influence encourages me to be independent and take risks.
Padmasree Warrior
I’m really looking forward to it because it will give me the opportunity to do the whole other kind of approach to the music live that I haven’t had a chance to do. and I think is important for me to do.
Al Jarreau
At the end of the day, if I can say that I had a career where I was able to play all different kinds of characters and I’m known as someone who is well-respected for my approach to the craft, that would be a beautiful life.
Adepero Oduye
What’s going to be hard for me is to try to divorce myself as much as possible from what I wrote. I’ll have to approach it simply as raw material and try to craft a film script out of it.
Michael Chabon
My own approach has always been to push intense emotion

My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.
Alanis Morissette
Age, style, where you come from, where you were born, it’s different every time, which, to me, is refreshing because it says that there isn’t any one thing, one formula or kind of character that makes a great comedian. Everybody has had a different approach.
Alan King
The choices politicians make must be based on values – not an arbitrary, axe-wielding approach to public spending or a dismal exchange between Gordon Brown and David Cameron about percentages that sounds like an argument between different book-keepers.
Nick Clegg
I never shot on sets, but if I was traveling somewhere or on location, I would always have my camera, and I’d always be – it’s that kind of fly on the wall approach to photography, though. I don’t engage the subject. I like to sneak around, skulk about in the dark.
Jessica Lange
I tend to follow a scattershot approach to reading a lot of very diverse subjects interest me, and I’m quite happy to read stuff on any of them.
Vikram Seth
If you look over the years, the styles have changed – the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it’s really the same.
John Oates
I think it is just stupid economics for a government to approach economic management from a strand of thinking regarding unions as enemies.
Bob Hawke
If you find yourself waiting for the weekend to approach, then it means that you are not happy for at least five days a week.
Rakshit Shetty
Whether we’re conscious of it or not, our work and personal lives are made up of daily rituals, including when we eat our meals, how we shower or groom, or how we approach our daily descent into the digital world of email communication.
Chip Conley
I don’t want to approach reading from the viewpoint of that it’s a pleasant adjunct to your life. I want to approach it from the idea that you have to read or you’re going to suffer. There’s a difference to be made – and you can make it if you read with your child.
Walter Dean Myers
What Christopher Nolan and I have done with ‘Superman’ is try to bring the same naturalistic approach that we adopted for the ‘Batman’ trilogy. We always had a naturalistic approach; we want our stories to be rooted in reality, like they could happen in the same world we live in.
David S. Goyer
Somewhere in that 20-year period, I would assume that there will be some basically new approach that will begin to cut into it, but it’s got a long time.
Jack Kilby
If you have good songs and a real desire to make music, the next thing to do, instead of approach record companies, is to get yourself a really good manager because then it allows you to focus on your profession of being a musician. Then they can focus on the darker art of the record label and the music industry.
James Blunt
My contention is that if we expand the patient-centered health care approach, we’ll have less people that have to go the medical clinic that provides free service or go to the emergency room – they can have their own health care plan.
Tim Walberg
My approach to the work is the same, whether I had the lead or a supporting role. I consider myself a character actor in the true sense of the word. Unless I’m doing my autobiography, I’m playing a character.
Ving Rhames
If we all knew we were going to live to be 150 years old, we’d all approach our lives very differently.
Eric Bogosian
I like the idea of an eclectic approach, incorporating jazz with other forms and other genres of music.
Herbie Hancock
There’s a couple of tracks on the new record which is sort of using similar sort of rhythms as the drum and bass tracks but playing it all live. It’s a new approach to it.
Tom Jenkinson
And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality. It’s fantastic when you go to premieres and people cheer you, but it’s not real. And it’s totally not my approach to get my name on a club door just because I can.
Tom Felton
We believe very passionately that an international approach is necessary to achieve some of these goals.
Bob Menendez
Be careful that what you write does not offend anybody or cause problems within the company. The safest approach is to remove all useful information.
Scott Adams
Fit no stereotypes. Don’t chase the latest management fads. The situation dictates which approach best accomplishes the team’s mission.
Colin Powell
There’s a very specific thing you can do to get in magazines. I’m much happier to just show up and do the job. I haven’t taken the active approach to making myself a star. I haven’t been in a blockbuster.
Paul Rudd
In the past, I’d sort of know before Ozzy sang something, what he was going to sing. I’d know what sort of way a melody was going to go ’cause of the way he’d approach it.
Tony Iommi
Each game we approach like a final. Today it was the opening game at home, we won and showed outstanding football qualities. We will be preparing for the next game the same way.
Andriy Shevchenko
George Harrison is perhaps one of the most creative people I ever met, not only in his music and songwriting, but just the way he lived his life, decorated his gardens and homes. He was a dear friend of mine. His entire approach to music was very unique.
Gary Wright
Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn’t so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.
Jane Goodall
I approach dancing from a different angle than those who begin dancing at 8 or 9. Those who have studied from the beginning never question anything.
Rudolf Nureyev
There’s a lot of the Midwest and the West in Justice Rehnquist’s approach to constitutional law. And by that I mean a recognition that people know pretty well how to govern themselves, that government that is closest to the people is apt to be more responsive to their legitimate concerns and needs.
John Roberts
Many futurists use a checklist approach to make sure they’re covering a sufficiently wide set of topics in terms of both research and brainstorming during a foresight exercise.
Jamais Cascio
When there is an influenza threat, drop everything and focus on risks from influenza pandemics. When SARS spreads, focus on unknown respiratory diseases. This approach helps to quell public concern, but it’s a hugely inefficient way to deal with future risks.
Nathan Wolfe
My whole approach to wardrobe is, throw it in a suitcas

My whole approach to wardrobe is, throw it in a suitcase and make sure they don’t press it, for Pete’s sake, so I can try to display some rumpled charm. Actually, I’m just a pig. I’ve got coffee stains on my pants. I think they’re coffee stains, anyway.
Mel Gibson
Each story we approach in the same way, with curiosity and interest and determination to get behind the image.
Martin Bashir
I think great players can play in any year, that’s why they’re great. A lot of it is down to the mental approach.
Ian Rush
I have, for many years past, contemplated the noble races of red men who are now spread over these trackless forests and boundless prairies, melting away at the approach of civilization.
George Catlin
I think romance is a tool, comedy is a tool and drama is a tool. I really just want to tell stories that challenge the viewer, move people, make you laugh, perhaps push an idea about being open-minded but never settle on a genre or an opinion. I hate genre. I like movies that are original in their approach.
Jason Reitman
I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I’m trying my best. So I’ve had a ‘blood, guts and glory’ approach through my whole life.
Ali Larter
Does not the very word ‘creative’ mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act – rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life – not death.
Berenice Abbott
I grew up in a family of strong women and I owe any capacity I have to understand women to my mother and big sister. They taught me to respect women in a way where I’ve always felt a strong emotional connection to women, which has also helped me in the way I approach my work as an actor.
Ryan Gosling
Our pat-down approach is very similar to what is being utilized in Europe and, as we know, around the world. It’s even much more thorough in other parts of the world.
John Pistole
I took a workshop from him a few months after that. That experience changed my whole approach to photography. At that workshop in Yosemite in 1973 I decided I wanted to try and see if I could pursue this for myself, and I’m still trying.
John Sexton
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
We all have such common ways to identify with each other, and I think when you approach music in that organic way, it’s almost indescribable how it connects human to human and heart to heart.
Debby Boone
We must be vigilant in our actions towards criminals, and innovative in our approach towards solving crime.
Thomas Menino
There were open source projects and free software before Linux was there. Linux in many ways is one of the more visible and one of the bigger technical projects in this area, and it changed how people looked at it because Linux took both the practical and ideological approach.
Linus Torvalds
I never really approach collaborations as kind of normal things where they’re arranged and they happen because you’ve arranged them. I’ve always been like this, I just have friends I hang out with, and while we’re hanging out, if music happens then it happens.
James Blake
But if you’re asking my opinion, I would argue that a social justice approach should be central to medicine and utilized to be central to public health. This could be very simple: the well should take care of the sick.
Paul Farmer
We struggle with eating healthily, obesity, and access to good nutrition for everyone. But we have a great opportunity to get on the right side of this battle by beginning to think differently about the way that we eat and the way that we approach food.
Marcus Samuelsson
The Maria Mayer shell model suggestion in 1949 was a great triumph and fitted my belief that a nuclear shell model should represent a proper approach to understanding nuclear structure.
James Rainwater
I’d read so much right-wing crime fiction where they find the evidence and shoot the bad guy – I thought there must be another approach.
Denise Mina
While different people may approach opportunities in different ways, we need to base decisions on a fundamental set of values as we chart our course of action.
Ron D. Burton
I have a different approach. I don’t file lawsuits because I really don’t care.
Nicole Kidman
In a sense, a hit belongs to the person who made it popular, but if a tune is good enough to attain tremendous success, then it certainly deserves more than one version, one treatment, one approach.
Les Baxter
Whenever I approach a record, I don’t really have a science to it. I approach every record differently. First record was in a home studio. Second record was a live record. Third record was made while I was on tour. Fourth record was made over the course of, like, two years in David Kahn’s basement.
Matisyahu
My disorder has been attended with several symptoms of a consumption; and I have been at times apprehensive that my great change was at hand: yet blessed be God, I have never been affrighted; but, on the contrary, at times much delighted with a view of its approach.
David Brainerd
Socially, in most groups I tempered my conversations on my approach to health because those who entrusted their lives to allopathic, ‘standard of care’ Western doctors might not want to entertain the idea that they might have made the wrong choice or that their way wasn’t the best way.
Suzanne Somers
Today when I think about diversity, I actually think about the word ‘inclusion.’ And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It’s not men, it’s not women alone. Whether it’s geographic, it’s approach, it’s your style, it’s your way of learning, the way you want to contribute, it’s your age – it is really broad.
Ginni Rometty
You will enrich your life immeasurably if you approach it with a sense of wonder and discovery, and always challenge yourself to try new things.
Nate Berkus
Even though we live in a fast-changing world with short term-ism all around, it requires years of determination to transform a company and structurally reap the rewards. Innovation companies need to set their sights on solving unmet needs – but this approach requires focus and long-term tenacity.
Frans van Houten
While I agree that homegrown terrorism and the jihadist threat deserve continuing attention, a single-minded approach ignores all other threats.
Bennie Thompson
I really admire artists that are willing to take a different approach and a different angle to their shows.
Shania Twain
I’m quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That’s been my approach, for the most part.
Orlando Bloom
The basis of our partnership strategy and our partnersh

The basis of our partnership strategy and our partnership approach: We build the social technology. They provide the music.
Mark Zuckerberg
The benefits and consequences of globalization have a great deal to do with whether we’re intelligent and thoughtful about how we approach globalization, or whether we’re blindly accepting… or blindly resistant.
Ethan Zuckerman
The approach of recognizing marriage between two people, without limitations, responds to a problem of eliminating all types of discrimination in society.
Miguel Diaz-Canel
One of the things I’ve told men over and over and over and over is if you’re being rejected by all the women that you approach, it’s not the women!
Jordan Peterson
As the director of an opera, it is my responsibility to unify the style of the particular performance, but one can certainly approach the piece from different points of view. That’s what makes it interesting and keeps it alive.
Sarah Caldwell
Semiotics is a general theory of all existing languages… all forms of communication – visual, tactile, and so on… There is general semiotics, which is a philosophical approach to this field, and then there are many specific semiotics.
Umberto Eco
Virginia ‘s tax system needs to be fixed. The time to act is now. Do not send me any more studies. Do not send me another piecemeal approach that confuses tinkering with real reform.
Mark Warner
The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man’s frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search.
Max Lerner
I hate to spoil my own prospects, but I really don’t respect the kiss-and-tell approach to public life at all, not at all.
Alexander Downer
Socialism is… not only a way of life, but a certain scientific approach to social and economic problems.
Jawaharlal Nehru
With ‘Nobody Knows,’ I consciously set out to make a fiction film, which is a different approach from ‘Distance,’ but I still applied a lot of the things I learned from making ‘Distance’: for example, how to use the camera in relation to the children and how to create the right atmosphere on set.
Hirokazu Kore-eda
Some people write heavily, some write lightly. I prefer the light approach because I believe there is a great deal of false reverence about. There is too much solemnity and intensity in dealing with sacred matters; too much speaking in holy tones.
C. S. Lewis
We save limited resources in terms of who we are physically screening. The approach will allow us to pay more attention to those potential terrorists.
John Pistole
The biggest and most interesting challenge is to bring Elsa Schiaparelli’s legacy to the present and the future. She had an exceptional, incredible, and intelligent approach; she was ahead of her times.
Marco Zanini
Perhaps the most effective way to describe the approach a brand must take is to think of themselves as social cartographers. By that I mean that brands must simultaneously inspire, engage and maintain a series of conversations taking place within certain cultural landscape specific to their business goal.
Simon Mainwaring
The nearest approach to immortality on earth is a government bureau.
James F. Byrnes
There was a point of frustration, where I thought I should just take a film, even though I didn’t want to. I was impatient with being at home. But I hung on to the approach I’ve always had, which is to wait for a project that I could contribute something unique to.
Peter Weir
I’m not a hero or a superstar. I’m an everyday guy. I feel happy when children approach me. I feel that something good is happening in life when little kids recognise me.
Boman Irani
Personally, I have had sometimes moments where I thought my idea behind the idea of a collection – the concept maybe – something that we don’t see at the end on the catwalk, I think the way it was, the genesis in my mind, was probably artistic, an artistic approach.
Olivier Theyskens
Looking back, I clearly understand that seeing a ‘chain of command’ approach in my house was a positive thing for me. My father provided a strong point of view on life and was a leader. Boys, especially, need that.
Bill O’Reilly
At our college we were taught a universal approach to find out about a person: what problems the person has, what difficulties, what personal tendencies and likings.
Markus Wolf
Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen.
Mark Twain
Sometimes I’m doing a big movie, or sometimes I’m doing a TV show, but as an actor, it’s almost the same thing for me. If I’m doing action, or comedy, or something more heartfelt, it’s a different approach, but it’s all acting for me.
Hiroyuki Sanada
As the people at the sharp end of delivering the government’s commitment to tackle climate change we know attaining zero carbon status has always involved a flexible approach.
Grant Shapps
I didn’t learn anything about acting until I joined the Group Theatre. They taught me an entirely new approach, an entirely new technique.
John Garfield
I can only approach things indirectly, or I can’t approach them at all.
Michael Feldman
Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.
Denis Waitley
There’s nothing like having some healthy competition. We really strive to think outside the box by taking the standard approach the then twisting it a little, all the while trying something new.
Synyster Gates
Smiling is definitely one of the best beauty remedies. If you have a good sense of humor and a good approach to life, that’s beautiful.
Rashida Jones
Marylanders have led the nation in adopting a balanced approach to revenues and investments because we know that in order to maintain and build the #1 public schools in the nation, we had to ask everyone to pay their fair share. We need Congress to do the same.
Martin O’Malley
I’m a firm believer in the saying that goes, ‘If you want to make god laugh, tell him your plans,’ kind of approach.
Jacob Collier
From food security to housing, from job creation to hea

From food security to housing, from job creation to healthcare, from financial inclusion to insurance – we have adopted a holistic approach towards social welfare.
Anurag Thakur
There are so many ways to approach a character. You have to figure out the similarities between you and the character, build on them, and at the same time, blur the dissimilarities. Since you do it day in and day out, it becomes a process and a part of you.
Sushant Singh Rajput
My approach is so simple; every song I sing, every story I tell, every move I make, must move the audience to laughter, tears, or inspiration. Otherwise, why do it? It’s the communication.
John Davidson
And I think if the president’s made a mistake here, it’s this laid-back kind of approach where he’s waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Some people say it’s a political strategy. No matter what it is, it’s not effective in solving problems.
Chris Christie
Fit no stereotypes. Don’t chase the latest management fads. The situation dictates which approach best accomplishes the team’s mission.
Colin Powell
The pleasure of writing fiction is that you are always spotting some new approach, an alternative way of telling a story and manipulating characters; the novel is such a wonderfully flexible form.
Penelope Lively
While there have been terrific advances in the state of technology around heuristics, behavior blocking, and things like that, technology is only a part of the approach to solving the problem with the more important aspect involving putting the right process in place.
John W. Thompson
Call it nature or nurture, there are differences in how men and women approach professional conduct, and facing these issues head-on will make us all more equipped to succeed.
Kathryn Minshew
I’ve always had a ‘Work hard, play hard’ attitude to life – I still do – but sometimes you get involved in something that needs a calm, methodical approach.
Damian Lewis
If I had different parents who were in it for the money, I might have a different perspective. But they really are artists; they intelligently approach each character and prepare in every sense of the word. I grew up in a world that had great discipline.
Laura Dern
Turkey wants a policy of engagement exactly like President Obama’s new approach. Policy of engagement, less confrontation, less tense attitude, especially in the region.
Ahmet Davutoglu
I approach every role from scratch.
Paul Dano
Smartness, a good appearance, courtesy, delicacy are not yet norms, are not yet an integral part of the approach of workers in the state apparatus, of their approach either to work or to dealing with the public.
Samora Machel
The reporting I did was mostly entertainment or lifestyle. I took a very different approach than most reporters. I approached it more casually than you would think a reporter would. Now I’m a morning radio personality, and radio is really casual.
Eleanor Mondale
I actually don’t meet very many men because they are, I guess, afraid to approach me or think that I’m from another planet.
Claudia Schiffer
As I approach the end of my life, I have even less and less interest in examining what have got to be very superficial evaluations or opinions about the significance of one’s life or one’s work. I was never given to it when I was healthy, and I am less given to it now.
Leonard Cohen
I watch every day when we hit and take ground balls and the way we go about our business. If I saw any lackadaisical approach, that would concern me.
Mike Quade
Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning.
Denis Waitley
President Clinton got it right in 1996 when he established a free-market-based approach to this new thing called the Internet, and the Internet economy we have is a result of his light-touch regulatory vision.
Ajit Pai
So, look, in order to move our country forward, we have to do the things our parents and grandparents did. They believed enough in our country to invest in our country, to create jobs, to make modern investments. And those are the things that we need to get back to with a balanced approach.
Martin O’Malley
Under the AHP approach, the average small business might be able to offer their employees one or two insurance plans, and that employee of the small business would have no idea whether their doctor was going to be a apart of one of those plans.
Jim Cooper
A true leader has to have a genuine open-door policy so that his people are not afraid to approach him for any reason.
Harold S. Geneen
Some people write heavily, some write lightly. I prefer the light approach because I believe there is a great deal of false reverence about. There is too much solemnity and intensity in dealing with sacred matters; too much speaking in holy tones.
C. S. Lewis
Modern diplomats approach every problem with an open mouth.
Arthur Goldberg
Mostly, I try to take a rational approach to life.
Jimmy Wales
The iPod completely changed the way people approach music.
Karl Lagerfeld
You become a different writer when you approach a short story. When things are not always having to represent other things, you find real human beings begin to cautiously appear on your pages.
Zadie Smith
The star S0-2 orbits around Sgr A* every 16 years and will go through its closest approach in 2018. That’s an opportunity to test Einstein’s General Relativity theory through very precise measurements of this star’s short period orbit.
Andrea M. Ghez
What the voters told us in the 2010 election was that they wanted a change. And I believe a moderate approach with a dedication to working across the aisle, something I know is important to both me and Congressman Shuler, is the best way forward.
Joe Donnelly
I found an approach to investing that made enormous sense to me: rigorously analyzing a company’s fundamentals, understanding exactly how it makes money, developing a view on the business’s future prospects, and deciding if it’s a good business.
Joe Mansueto
Generally, our approach with products at Google is to first develop the right user base and then to figure out what’s the right experience for the ads.
Susan Wojcicki
The nearer people approach old age the closer they retu

The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.
Desiderius Erasmus
Newt Gingrich is one of the brightest people in the Republican Party and he’s always been a little unorthodox in his approach to politics, but that’s what makes him Newt Gingrich.
Gary Bauer
Tech companies approach you to hold something in a picture and then say, ‘This is what I want you to write on your Twitter.’ There are people who get away with that and look really cool doing it, but I’m just not one of them.
Alexa Chung
We are 100 percent responsible for the pursuit of holiness, but at the same time we are 100 percent dependent upon the Holy Spirit to enable us in that pursuit. The pursuit of holiness is not a pull-yourself-up-by-your-own-bootstraps approach to the Christian life.
Jerry Bridges
My approach to gymnastics in Beijing was heavily based on the amount of difficulty I could do.
Shawn Johnson
Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn’t work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.
Roger von Oech
Captain Hale, alone, without sympathy or support, save that from above, on the near approach of death asked for a clergyman to attend him. It was refused. He then requested a Bible; that too was refused by his inhuman jailer.
William Hull
Who says a lighthearted approach to business is incompatible with success?
Herb Kelleher
I approach video games the same way I approach theatre, filmmaking, poetry, or painting. I wish more people would take that point of view. It would help the industry to move on.
David Cage
My approach is just fearless. I’m not afraid to try anything.
Stormzy
Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
I’ve learned a lot since I was a new mother. My approach to struggle and shame now is to talk to yourself like you’d talk to someone you love and reach out to tell your story.
Brene Brown
If a prospective Presidential approach can’t be explained clearly enough to be understood well, it probably hasn’t been thought through well enough. If not well understood by the American people, it probably won’t ‘sail’ anyway. Send it back for further thought.
Donald Rumsfeld
Since I have been singing for so many years, I don’t always need to approach a song quite so laboriously and meticulously.
Kate Smith
I find all of my performances come down to mathematics in a sense – how do you approach the problem of this character? Sometimes I crack that problem, sometimes I don’t.
Brad Pitt
You love all your characters, even the ridiculous ones. You have to on some level; they’re your weird creations in some kind of way. I don’t even know how you approach the process of conceiving the characters if in a sense you hated them. It’s just absurd.
Joel Coen
To grow you must understand and admit your mistakes, it is an approach that works for me, it is not necessarily the same for everyone.
Charles Leclerc
My approach to parenting is the same as my approach to life: it’s all about putting in the hours and working hard.
Perez Hilton
Our approach to economic development must be modern, focused and in tune with the global trend.
Ibrahim Babangida
Early college high schools in North Carolina and across the country show us that challenge – not remediation – is an approach to education that works.
Michael F. Easley
It seems to be the modern Canadian approach to Indigenous people: rather than deny their problems or accuse them of creating them through their own laziness, which was how my parents’ generation dealt with the question, we now smother them with humid apologies and abnegation, but not actual compensation.
Neil Macdonald
Personally, I’d like to see more of our leaders take a technocratic approach to solving our biggest problems.
Bill Gates
I welcome viagogo’s fresh approach to the entertainment industry and I look forward to helping them build more innovative partnerships in the future.
Guy Oseary
I don’t approach a role by saying I’ll be unsavory or unlikable.
Michael Rooker
I didn’t want to become a chocolatier among others, buying ready-to-use couverture. I wanted to take the same approach I follow in my cuisine: putting the product first, revealing the authentic taste of the products.
Alain Ducasse
I definitely like taking the dark horse approach and picking people you should not be getting behind, and you figure out a way to get behind them.
Danny McBride
When I happened to get into school, I felt like I could approach it as aggressively as things in the military.
Adam Driver
I approach every part I’m asked to do and decide to do from exactly the same angle: who is this person, what does he want, how does he attempt to get it, and what happens to him when he doesn’t get it, or if he does?
Alan Rickman
I can’t imagine what it would be like to write in a relaxed state. I’m going to be writing some stories for my own interest. I want to experiment with different things and see if I can approach writing with much less control and in a better psychological state. It will be like breaking out of a straitjacket.
Kate Atkinson
The definition of a modern approach to war is the acknowledgement of individual lives lost.
Maya Lin
I challenge anybody to say that I wouldn’t know how to approach foreign policy because, unlike some of the other people, I at least have a foreign policy philosophy, which is an extension of the Reagan philosophy. Peace through strength, and my philosophy is peace through strength and clarity.
Herman Cain
What I like about New York City is nobody cares. If the

What I like about New York City is nobody cares. If they do, they don’t ever approach. They just give you a ‘What’s up?’ and that’s it.
Chaske Spencer
The English approach to ideas is not to kill them, but to let them die of neglect.
Jeremy Paxman
To resolve problems through negotiation is a very childish approach.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
I get overwhelmed when I approach things intellectually.
Keegan-Michael Key
Singing for Bollywood films has an altogether different approach, as the industry has a wider reach. It has helped me reach parts of India which I didn’t know existed.
Guru Randhawa
Silicon Valley isn’t the only game in town. Tech is increasingly decentralized. Around the world, new tech centers with younger companies are able to embrace a different approach to talent: recruit locally, identify homegrown prospects and, in a phrase, bring them along for the ride.
Ryan Holmes
I hold an office in trust, not a title. I don’t want to say it’s a kamikaze approach to life, but it’s ingrained.
Bob Latta
When people approach you angrily, you take them very seriously, and, if you’re like me, with the faint suggestion that you can be angry too, and that you would like to know what the shooting is about.
Harry Stack Sullivan
I think America is going to have to think through whether it wants to uplift the political dialogue or advance an approach that divides and, frankly, can lead to violence.
Jim Leach
I don’t even know what TV star means. I know there’s a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.
David Morse
I keep trying to bring a more professional approach to New Zealand cricket. It’s an uphill battle. I stay in the game because I find it intriguing and interesting. I’m not interested in coaching international sides. I don’t mind short-term coaching. I don’t want to get involved in the politics of teams.
Glenn Turner
This multicultural approach, saying that we simply live side by side and live happily with each other has failed. Utterly failed.
Angela Merkel
This time at Birmingham turned me into a general biologist, and ever since then I have always tried to take a biological approach to any research project that I have undertaken.
Paul Nurse
Robert Crumb is an influence on how I draw, but not on the subject matter I take or my approach. One thing I do like about Crumb is that he’s chronicled his age, his times, and I think that is what artists should do.
Joe Sacco
I have a lot of common sense. I know what needs to be done and how to approach it. I have an ability to work with people on large enterprises.
Sally Ride
Treat failure as a lesson on how not to approach achieving a goal, and then use that learning to improve your chances of success when you try again. Failure is only the end if you decide to stop.
Richard Branson
Early on I decided that I was going to lie to the press. The best approach to talking about my personal life was to lie.
Nick Nolte
I’m impatient. Typically people think they know all about change and don’t need help. Their approach tends to be more management-oriented than leadership-oriented. It’s very frustrating.
John P. Kotter
When you start out on a project as an actor, you know, you approach the character from the standpoint of maybe writing a list – even if it’s a mental list that you make – of the adjectives that the character has or that character possesses.
Omari Hardwick
There are many causes of violent deaths in America – murders and traffic accidents – that we do not approach with the same ‘no price too steep, no task too difficult’ approach that we take toward al Qaeda.
Dennis C. Blair
We must have the approach of ‘zero tolerance’ against any type of terrorism.
Rajnath Singh
Ray Charles’ revolutionary approach to music was also reflected in his politics and his deep and abiding commitment to Martin Luther King and the plight of African-Americans. Ray Charles may not have been on the front lines, but he put his money where his mouth was.
Diane Watson
In terms of likeability, that’s something that I don’t think about as an actor when I approach a role.
David Duchovny
I don’t go to Mass every day. But I go to church every day. Just sitting there, thinking – it’s a great way to start the morning, you know? You feel so good coming out, and your approach to everything is suddenly really clear.
Mark Wahlberg
I realised that there’s a more muscular approach to film-making that I found very inspiring.
Kathryn Bigelow
The reason why I have survived as long as I have survived is what my friends, comrades and supporters thought was an extraordinarily cautious approach.
Ernst Zundel
I welcome a discussion on a long-term, pro-active approach to disaster relief for Americans. Until Congress arrives at a conclusion, however, we must continue to honor America’s honorable tradition of helping Americans recover for natural catastrophes.
Cedric Richmond
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Jean Paul
The thing I love about being a novelist is that with each project, you invent a new world. You approach it with a different set of aesthetic and structural ideas, and you grapple with a different series of problems in figuring out how to tell the story. And yet there are certain concerns that stay constant.
Adam Mansbach
I have advocated an entirely different approach than cap and tax, which would be worldwide in application and which emphasizes technology as a way of reducing total emissions.
Jim Sensenbrenner
To me, that’s one of the things that I love about doing this stuff. One day I can work on this piece in watercolor, and then work on something else on the computer, or work on something else that’s a completely different approach.
Bill Sienkiewicz
I have never made a friend from whom I could not separa

I have never made a friend from whom I could not separate, and I have never made an enemy that I could not approach.
Tancredo Neves
My approach to parenting is that everything is open – everything. I’m not very good at covert, or subtle, and I’ve had to learn timing. I do blunder in a bit.
Dawn French
They have accorded me my constitutional rights, and that is to their credit because the media hate campaign against me has been so intense and so vicious that it’s a miracle that the police have taken such a professional approach.
Ernst Zundel
My government, you can be assured, will be less focused on personalities. It is about treating people with respect. I think complaining about the community not being able to see the wisdom of our ideas is the wrong approach.
Jay Weatherill
If something comes to life in others because of you, then you have made an approach to immortality.
Norman Cousins
We’re trying to do what Miles Davis would have wanted us to do, which is approach it as artists with his life as the canvas.
Don Cheadle
The top athletes are consummate pros who work obsessively at their craft. Approach yours the same way.
Tom Peters
Instead of focusing on growing jobs and reigniting our economy, President Obama focused on growing government and tried to remake the United States into the image of the debt-laden countries of Europe. His approach has been more spending, more regulation, and higher taxes.
Rob Portman
I think the best thing you can teach a person is how to learn. And once they discover their own individual approach to that – which is inside all of us – then all of a sudden, they’ve opened up a door of endless resources.
Roscoe Mitchell
When you reduce taxes on higher earners it’s vital to be reducing them on lower earning people as well so the nation shares in the approach.
William Hague
Wellness is not a ‘medical fix’ but a way of living – a lifestyle sensitive and responsive to all the dimensions of body, mind, and spirit, an approach to life we each design to achieve our highest potential for well-being now and forever.
Greg Anderson
A lot of my peers don’t think about collaborating the way I do. My approach is to imagine my world. The Jason Wu woman isn’t just floating around in a beautiful dress. I like to know where she’s going, what she likes. I’m not just in the fashion business. I’m in the lifestyle business.
Jason Wu
I have not been part of an active counterculture movement, as it is not the approach that I have personally pursued to create a qualitatively beneficial and meaningful impact on society. Perhaps, my belief is along the old saying that ‘it is always better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.’
Al Seckel
I’m often asked how I write books, but I don’t think my approach is suitable for everyone. If I walked into a creative writing class, all I could say to them was ‘I tend to make it up as I go along.’ I’m not sure that’s brilliant advice.
Ian Rankin
When you challenge me, I like my chances in a fistfight. On the field, I use the same approach. I’m going to win. And I’ll do it by any means necessary. If you’re not willing to go that route, don’t come my way.
Gary Sheffield
I wonder how many people would have thought at the end of World War II that the capitalist system would be one that was meeting the challenges and making things better for people as we approach the 21st century.
Sanford I. Weill
I much preferred the approach at the anarchist camp, with its shared tasks and collective responsibilities. Everyone played their part. There was no division between workers and consumers.
John Blair
