To be honest, it makes you a lot better coach when your boss is in the meeting room. You’re a lot more driven every day.
Steve Bannon was my right-hand man for, like, seven years. He’s a hammer. And when you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. He’s very sure and very smart. Very driven, very patriotic. He’s not most of the things that people say.
I’ve always thought of the project as a sort of sexually driven digestive system, that it was a consumer and a producer of matter. And it is desire driven, rather than driven by hunger or anything like that.
When you look at what I’ve done here, you see a consistent theme of reforms which is not driven by any dogma from across the water, but a radical agenda to make sure Northern Ireland’s people enjoy equal opportunities, driven by the values of social justice.
Historically speaking, the French economy was largely driven by the demand side.
When I was first thinking about what would become Venture for America, I was trying to figure out how to solve a problem – that our top young people were being driven to roles that did not, to me, address the needs of our time. That VFA would be a non-profit just seemed like the most efficient way to solve the problem.
In the end, it is because the media are driven by the power and wealth of private individuals that they turn private lives into public spectacles. If every private life is now potentially public property, it is because private property has undermined public responsibility.
I am more than just a label. Why are people so driven to labeling where we fall on the sexual spectrum?
When a product is market driven, it should be able to pay for all its raw materials at market prices.
You, too, will be driven away from your native land and ancient domains as leaves are driven before the wintry storms. Sleep not longer, O Choctaws and Chickasaws, in false security and delusive hopes. Our broad domains are fast escaping from our grasp.
It’s really, always, the story and the characters that come first, and the other things are kind of dealt with in time or, in fact, driven by the story.
I’ve always been someone who has been very driven. I think my circumstances, how I grew up, hard work and work ethic are absolutely vital to any success that people might have, regardless of what they might be doing.
Religion is inwardly focused and driven only to sustain itself.
The ideal girl is driven, working on something other than modeling or being a singer.
What are we doing to make sure that people don’t get the debate questions ahead of time – because I can tell you this: if my boss at the time, Reince Priebus, had gotten the debate questions, and handed them off, he would have been driven out of this town on a stake, and Donald Trump would have been vilified.
I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy, and driven.
The instant that movies became described as character driven was the instant when characters stopped mattering in movies. In other words, the birth of the notion of the character-driven movie coincided with the birth of movies in which characters were incidental to the very activities in which they engaged.
One of the great things about unions is they’re member driven and give us the great ability to both lead and follow at the same time.
I’m suspicious of the idea of categories in music and this idea of things being in boxes. To me, that seems unnatural. I write the music that somebody with my biography would write, and the thing that’s always driven me is an enthusiasm for the material. I sort of follow the notes to where they want to go.
I try to make all my songs good. I don’t ever write one to finish one. A lot of protest songs end up that way, driven by some kind of emotional response.
I definitely like not working sometimes. It’s so fun. I just love sleeping in. In America, everyone is driven to succeed and wake up and do something. But I don’t care. I want to sleep in. I want to relax. I don’t want to have to get up every day.
Fiscal decentralisation does not lead to higher economic growth because economic growth is much more driven by factors other than taxes and spending, e.g. increases in technological progress and improved human capital.
I think every chef, not just in America, but across the world, has a double-edged sword – two jackets, one that’s driven, a self-confessed perfectionist, thoroughbred, hate incompetence and switch off the stove, take off the jacket and become a family man.
The Arab spring that began in 2010 was driven by the educated youth who were connected to the outside world. They had visions of liberal politics derived from social networks. They used innovative means to spread awareness and to network among activists.
Legislatures not driven to desperation by the problems of public education may be able to see the threat in vouchers negotiable in sectarian schools.
In real life, I don’t love working out, but I’ve been driven to it.
I’ve driven in L.A. probably three times. I’m a slug in L.A.
I don’t know what to say about it except Tom Hanks is a great person, a serious person; he’s dissatisfied in a very likeable way, in a very discreet way, and Steven Spielberg is similar in his discretion and drive. But Spielberg is calm. He’s this driven filmmaker and visionary. He really is.
I hope people describe my music as lyrically driven, cross genre. Kind of alternative, kind of indie, kind of rap, kind of everything.
Really, I am entirely material driven. If a project appeals to me, I will try to find the right writer and director. And that may be someone I’ve worked with before, or it may not. It may be a woman, or it may not.
The history of our country has been driven by a Judeo-Christian worldview, and so that has dominated the landscape. So it’s important that we recognize the lordship of Jesus Christ without apology in our emphasis on prayer.
A lot of people think that because I’m from Malaysia, I’m driven by Malaysian sound, but actually, it’s mostly just my melodies.
Nearly all web publications are driven by the display model, which is in turn driven by page views. But we all know the web is shifting, thanks to mobile devices and the walled gardens they erect. The new landscape of the web is far more complicated, and new products must emerge.
I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It’s really funny the way that some people don’t give kids enough credit for like really being driven, and really wanting to do things so badly.
Some calamities – the 1929 stock market crash, Pearl Harbor, 9/11 – have come like summer lightning, as bolts from the blue. The looming crisis of America’s Ponzi entitlement structure is different. Driven by the demographics of an aging population, its causes, timing and scope are known.
If you’ve driven over to the gay section of Los Angeles, it’s like a golf course… Real estate values go ‘boom!’
Have you driven a Rolls-Royce? There is a difference between a Rolls-Royce and a Nano.
In general, the more entrepreneurs we have, the better off we will be because the economy is driven by small businesses and creative ideas… I’m really excited about what the future holds for women entrepreneurship and to be a small part of that by helping Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba start their businesses.
Apart from my dad, James is the most driven man I’ve ever met. They both have the attitude that there’s plenty of time to sleep when you’re dead.

True philanthropy requires a disruptive mindset, innovative thinking and a philosophy driven by entrepreneurial insights and creative opportunities.
My agent once said, ‘You’re not very driven.’ And it’s true. I’m not the type to ring up and go, ‘Get me this part!’
The bosses can’t read your mind, so I think women should tell them what they want out of their careers. And so I think that if you’re just a good person, you work hard, you say ‘yes,’ and you are driven, you will eventually work your way to the top. At least, that’s how it’s been for me.
I enjoy the writing process and producing; I enjoy seeing an idea come to fruition. I’m driven by very complex characters. You look at the pilot of ‘Breaking Bad,’ where there’s so much depth to the character, you can’t help but be invested when you watch.
The euro zone was driven by the neoliberal view that markets are always efficient. That in itself is political. There was no pressing economic need that the euro was required to solve, but leaders believed that it would foster growth.
My characters are driven by a passionate desire for justice. They are rebellious and incorruptible.
I’m not a mad genius or anything, but I’m just constantly driven to make things up, but I wonder who I’m doing all this for?
The hypocrisy of some is that we like to think of ourselves as sophisticated and evolved, but we’re still also driven by primal urges like greed and power.
Something about John Cleese was always very unsettled, I felt. There was always something else he wanted to do. He seemed constantly driven by this sense that there was a nirvana somewhere; some unique place where mind, body and soul would be utterly satisfied.
A nail is driven out by another nail. Habit is overcome by habit.
