I was incredibly unpopular in high school but also extremely notorious.
We worked personally with a lot of great VCs. They just work incredibly hard at supporting entrepreneurs and their companies.
In grade school I was taught that the United States is a melting pot. People from all over the world come here for freedom and to pursue a better life. They arrive with next to nothing, work incredibly hard, learn a new language and new customs, and in a generation they become an integral part of our amazing nation.
I have issues with inheritance tax, particularly coming from a migrant family. My dad has worked incredibly hard all his life, so it seems odd to me that someone who has gone through that experience and has managed to save then gets taxed for dying.
Children are far more interesting to work with than grownups. They’re incredibly honest. They’ll tell you exactly what they think.
The Smiths was an incredibly personal thing to me. It was like launching your own diary to music.
I’ve been incredibly lucky. I’ve worked in two iconic shows, ‘Carry On’ and ‘EastEnders.’ If it all ended tomorrow – and it could – I’d just be terribly grateful. I’ve been fortunate enough to do what I love and get paid for it.
I’m incredibly nostalgic for the ’80s, because I think that’s when Geek Culture really kicked in to high gear.
‘Fair’ is, like, this incredibly overused term in negotiations: ‘I just want what’s fair.’ ‘What’s the fair market price?’
And the danger is – and it’s happening – is we’re seeing an incredibly big rise amongst young gay people, young heterosexual people as far as catching HIV, which is, you know, in an educated country like this or in Britain, it’s frightening.
My parents divorced when I was very, very young, but they maintained an incredibly amicable relationship. They were great partners, they were great parents, and they were great friends throughout my whole life until I was about 25, at which point they realized that they could relinquish; they could call it and move on.
My dream role would probably be a psycho killer, because the whole thing I love about movies is that you get to do things you could never do in real life, and that would be my way of vicariously experiencing being a psycho killer. Also, it’s incredibly romantic.
I’m incredibly impatient; I’d like to be less so, and more content with the now.
Me personally, I’ve had really great experiences. I’d be lying if I said it was all roses and perfect, but, by and large, the metal community is so incredibly supportive.
I’m obsessed with the power of music and image together. There’s also something about music videos that are incredibly glamorous – there’s a fetishistic aesthetic to them that you don’t really see in movies in the same way.
Belief in oneself is incredibly infectious. It generates momentum, the collective force of which far outweighs any kernel of self-doubt that may creep in.
I don’t miss London much. I find it crowded, vast and difficult to get around. Cabs are incredibly expensive.
That’s the great thing about the ‘Sin City’ movies. Each little slot is incredibly meaningful, and each character has their own moment.
I’ve written a whole body of work that I’m incredibly proud of.
My parents were incredibly strict, almost military style.
But I have to say I’m incredibly proud of the Panther Racing National Guard Team, and in my IndyCar career there’s not many races where I’ve honestly left the track feeling that we’ve executed everything perfectly. And I have to say, I thought they did an absolute phenomenal job. The pit stops were just first class.
My mum especially listens to music in a way that is incredibly feelings-based. There’s virtually no snobbery about what sounds are in it, she just wants to hear a song and that is quite refreshing.
I won the Oscar for ‘Raging Bull’ for those fight sequences. If you look at those fight sequences, those were so incredibly storyboarded and shot in an incredible way – that is the conception a good director has to bring.
And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It’s incredibly, mind numbingly slow.
‘Pride’ is my first film with a happy ending. Before, I naively thought they were a cop-out, but now I’ve come to believe that happy endings and wish fulfilment are an incredibly important part of our cultural life.
My daughter is wonderful and incredibly well behaved. I am very lucky. She will always be my priority.
I’ve never boxed before in my life. I’ve had one day’s training at a boxing gym, and it’s an incredibly difficult sport.
Probably my favorite piece of music, as an album taken as a whole, is Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Greetings from Asbury Park.’ I just think it’s incredibly pure. It’s a sound that sort of broke new ground, and I think it paved the way for a hundred people that sound very similar.
My mom is an incredibly direct person, and I like things to make sense.
I mean, we make a 15-minute show that’s incredibly silly, even though all of our scenic designers, puppet builders. animators, everybody that works on the show take their work very seriously. So somebody saying that we’d even be in contention for a very respectable award is really nice.
I find films incredibly emotional. That’s the power of the medium.
Mobile is an incredibly fast-growing market and will continue to be.
Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying. I’ve never been happier.
For us as a firm, not only from a risk mitigation standpoint but also as a point of differentiation, it is incredibly important to get consistency and the very best individuals with the capabilities to do the very best job.
Elon Musk is an incredibly prolific entrepreneur, having come up with, or been at the founding team of Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, PayPal, all different industries that seem to have nothing to do with each other.
Getting in shape for this role, which is incredibly demanding, vocally, has been a lot of hard work, but I’m nailing it. I’m even kind of, at times, blowing my own mind, because I am even able to talk right now.
I’m incredibly neurotic and a control freak. I like the thought that if there’s going to be anyone to blame it’s going to be me.
I’m an incredibly hard worker, I’m incredibly tenacious, and I’m incredibly detail-oriented.
Writing is an incredibly creatively empowering experience for me. It is the place where nobody tries to control what I’m doing.
I love American ski resorts because they’re open to everyone, are not incredibly expensive. They’re not snobby and you can have fun all day long on the most excellent mountains.
Twitter is incredibly useful. It’s a great example of how the Internet is changing the way we engage with information and text. Above all else, this change in the nature of engagement is fascinating for me as a writer.
When I was 23, I climbed this mountain in Alaska called Devil’s Thumb alone. It was incredibly dangerous, and I did it because I thought that if I did something that hard and pulled it off, my life was gonna be transformed. And of course, nothing happened. But I get the search for purpose.
I’m incredibly self-destructive.
I would like to do something dark or small. I love independent films. I love emotional scenes. I love people who are struggling with something. I think it’s just the juxtaposition to my incredibly happy, positive demeanor.
I know some of my parents’ friends think ‘Little Britain’ is in incredibly poor taste. But swimming the Channel? You can’t really say anything negative about that, can you? There’s nothing better than making your parents happy. The glee on my father’s face that day was amazing.
I’m so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions.
I know I’m incredibly unpredictable, and that’s the only thing I’m sure of.
My way of being with people is probably incredibly unhealthy, in that I’ll be incredibly social, and I won’t write a word for maybe a year, and I’ll just be with people, going to parties and soaking up stories, and just sort of recharging all of my ideas.
Writing, producing and directing, I must say, is incredibly satisfying and gratifying.
I feel incredibly awkward as a human being and incredibly teenaged still.
David Mamet was great to work with. He was everything that I thought he would be as a director. He’s incredibly articulate, an easy collaborator. Extraordinarily knowledgeable about film and writing.
I mean, I always feel incredibly lucky to get a job.
The New York gallery scene being as incredibly overpopulated and overmoneyed as it is, deep conflicts and contradictions aren’t hard to find.
I went to 11 different schools. It was a fantastic adventure, but I was incredibly sensitive and needed a bit more stability.
When you’re making a film, you become incredibly close. It’s not like you’re filing away papers all day. You’re creating with human emotions, so you do become very connected, so it is familial and romantic.
I wanted to have a reaction from the audience. I wanted to be able to talk to somebody, and not be talking just to myself. That’s when I did ‘The Conformist,’ ‘Last Tango in Paris,’ etc. And I found it was incredibly rewarding, something new.
Generally the aesthetics of broadcast journalism seem to me to be incredibly primitive.
