I don’t have writer’s block, really. I do have times when I can’t get the lead, and that is the only part of the story which I have serious trouble with. I don’t write a word of the article until I have the lead. It just sets the whole tone – the whole point of view.
I think young artists are always inspiring because they are coming at worlds from a different point of view.
Shrimp farms are a scourge on the earth, frankly, from an environmental point of view. They pour huge amounts of pollutants into the ocean. They also pollute their next-door neighbors.
I have a very simple point of view, which is, I’m going to be alive for some amount of time; I don’t know how long that’s going to be. Then I’m going to be dead for a really, really long time. Right? You need to squeeze everything you can out of this time when you’re alive.
Not surprisingly, my parents’ generation did everything they could to make life easier for their own children. Was that good for us? I wonder. It certainly didn’t do us any good from a cultural point of view. I’m struck by how few boomers have embraced adult culture in middle age.
I’m impressed with Ed Sheeran. I think he has a terrific point of view and a great mentality but I sense there is someone in the background saying to him, ‘We need more love songs, Ed.’
I’ve watched Spike Lee’s career with interest, and he seemed to be striving for an original and moral point of view.
‘The Last Of Us,’ to me, is just amazing storytelling, because everything’s from the character point of view, which even movies don’t really do successfully a lot of the time.
From a footballer’s point of view, if you want to choose a football club, then Arsenal is right up there with the best.
I find the world just too complex to embrace a single ideological point of view.
Nihilism in American comedy came along way before ‘The Simpsons.’ There was a fairly nihilistic point of view to ‘Saturday Night Live,’ for instance, back in the beginning, and a lot of really dark comedy had a really anti-sentimental take on life.
I think there are very few brands with a person’s point of view behind them.
I wanted the ending of ‘Water Lilies’ to be open, so that everyone can have their point of view about what will happen to the girls.
The last thing an Englishman wants to hear is a man from Brussels trying to imitate his language – you want to hear a different point of view. You may not be able to understand the details, but you can understand the feeling.
We can come from our own particular point of view and lay it down. We should not be throwing verbal rocks at each other. We’re all responsible to continue the growth of Hip Hop.
When I was little, I didn’t really travel – from the suburbs to Paris was already a journey. I had a foreigner’s eye on the city, and I still enjoy that point of view. Then there’s the fact that one of the things that touches me most is injustice.
Maimonides taught that it is better that 10 criminals go free than let one innocent man be executed. The Innocence Project represents that point of view.
Playing live is everything. Sometimes being on the road is hard, and it’s a lot of work, and tiring. From a musical point of view, you improve all the time. Not only that, but you learn how to deal with people and deal with energy in a live setting.
From the business point of view – not to overstate it – intellectual property is dead; long live intellectual process. Long live service; long live performance.
If you are asking for my point of view, I would say that the Palestinians should go back to Palestine.
From the U.S. point of view, negotiations are, in effect, a way for Israel to continue its policies of systematically taking over whatever it wants in the West Bank, maintaining the brutal siege on Gaza, separating Gaza from the West Bank and, of course, occupying the Syrian Golan heights, all with full U.S. support.
I want people to know my political point of view. There’s an appetite for that, almost an expectation. I also want to make people laugh, but I wouldn’t want to do it at the expense of my point of view.
A film is a film and it has to be good to be inspired. That’s number one. It can be Italian, French, German, American. It’s moving images in front of you and with a strong director who injects his point of view and artistry.
What has ‘The Patchwork Girl of Oz’ got in its favor? Quite a lot, from our point of view in 2009. If you want to see how Oz’s creator envisioned his own work, here it is.
The nice thing with Shakespeare from a modern point of view is that a lot of stuff that was tragic for him can read as comic for us.
I was born in 1923 into a middle class Jewish family in Vienna, a few years after the end of World War I, which was disastrous from the Austrian point of view.
I can understand why Christians call us heretics. But most important, who will God call a heretic? From God’s point of view, my revelation is deeply orthodox.
I find it both fascinating and disconcerting when I discover yet another person who believes that writing can’t be taught. Frankly, I don’t understand this point of view.
You get Don King’s point of view in what is almost a Shakespearean, classical technique. He comes across almost like a lovable rogue, like Iago in ‘Othello’ or Richard III. He’s doing all these bad things, but I kind of like him. It’s like ‘Pulp Fiction’: Everybody’s a bad guy, yet you like them.
Design is a way of life, a point of view. It involves the whole complex of visual communications: talent, creative ability, manual skill, and technical knowledge. Aesthetics and economics, technology and psychology are intrinsically related to the process.
From the bowler’s point of view, if I look at a batsman, I don’t see his shots, I see his defence. If a player has a strong defence, he is a very good player.
It’s about supporting the many talented artists and filmmakers out there trying to create work from that marginalized point of view. Go out and buy tickets to their movies and plays, support their crowd sourcing campaigns, show the industry that there is a viable audience for this work.
I think there’s so many points of view that you want to make sure your stories are being told from men and women… you get all of the different backgrounds. You don’t want every story being told from the same point of view. So just for better storytelling, I’m like, ‘Yes, please, bring some more ladies on.’
From a moral point of view, it is wrong… to smear or stereotype minority communities, to pretend or give credence to the idea that the actions of a minority within a community are somehow representative or the fault of the majority of members of that community. That is the very definition of bigotry.
First and foremost I have to look at the film from an audience point of view. Yes, one has to see the story from an actor’s point of view as well so that you can showcase performance as well. However before that, I need to ensure hits.
I always see that there’s a – from a philosophical point of view – there’s the appearance of things that everybody wants you to think is happening, then there’s the reality underneath it.
It’s not really like you have a thing like a supermodel anymore. It’s more of a word than a real existence. I think, also, looking at it from a designer’s point of view, at one point maybe they felt the stars took too much attention away from the clothes.
Like everybody, I’ve had a lot of pain in my life and I’m a work in progress. You must have a true desire to see the world from a different point of view, and that comes with growing up.
The influence of ‘Hidden Fortress’ comes up a lot because it was printed in a book once. The truth is, the only thing I was inspired by was the fact that it’s told from the point of view of two peasants, who get mixed up with a samurai and princess and a lot of very high-level people.
I have a strong point of view, and that’s a double-edged sword. It can be a phenomenal characteristic in terms of getting things done, but it can also mean I will be relentless in my pushing for my point of view.
Think about it: if the world could see how much adoption means from a cat’s point of view, shelters would be empty.
There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.
In the closing years of the nineteenth century, African-American historians began to look at their people’s history from their vantage point and their point of view.
This is my point of view, and that’s why I call the show ‘Ramy’. I made the show that I would want to see. So it’s only going to hit on certain things.
Man is pre-eminently endowed with the power of voluntarily and consciously determining his own point of view.
I didn’t want my genome to be sequenced by any of the companies that were out there doing the partial sequences just from the point of view of commercialisation.
Being able to provoke a different point of view to the standard current ideological or political perspective as played out in conventional newspaper or radio reportage is what a public intellectual does. But it’s not merely about being oppositional, because that’s too negative.
I would make a film with a political point of view if I agreed with it, and even, perhaps, if I didn’t.
I believe the path to a long career is to keep the audience guessing. Daniel Day Lewis is my absolute hero from that point of view. I literally will pay to see anything he does because I know it’s going to be something different than I have already seen.
