From my point of view, ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’ isn’t just a science fiction masterpiece; it also happens to be one of my favorite books ever.
From another point of view, a new situation now seems to be arising in which Japan’s prosperity is going to be incorporated into the expanding potential power of both production and consumption in Asia at large.
I’m not afraid to fight for things I believe in, and I’m not afraid to respect people that have another point of view.
‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ – every scene is from those characters’ point of view. They’re in literally every scene, very unusual in a big studio film.
As an actor, you have to believe in the point of view of a director; as a director, you have to be able to express what your point of view is and invite everybody to join you on that journey. So it’s always about opening up.
In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what’s going on, but it’s representative.
If you’re going to make a statement, I think you should write it in prose and make a statement. If you have characters who are mouthpieces for a point of view, then you have to be very clever about disguising it.
I don’t like stuff that can only go into one set; I want stuff that can be applied across sets. It’s a more real Lego building experience. And, of course, it’s the same from a manufacturing point of view. I want elements that are universal; that gives me the best economics and best utilisation of the mould.
I identify entirely with Jane Austen’s point of view, on everything.
Eventually the consumer will come to appreciate the editorial point of view of every different brand. User-generated content without editorial oversight will simply be background noise.
Certainly it is much easier to think about negotiating and having deals when there is a singular represented point of view. That pretty much is a given.
When you create change with your point of view, you have to be ready for what comes with that.
My religious point of view is something I can’t talk about. It goes against my belief system to talk publicly about my own spiritual beliefs.
If reality TV is bad, so is Colosseum, so are the gladiators, so are sports. I think cricket is bad. But that’s a point of view.
I happened to happened to land in a time, in the middle ’60s, that without knowing it, and without being told by the history of theater – which we now see from a historical point of view was an explosive time.
What I do, basically, is look at things from different angles. That is what I do on stage comedically, and that is what I do in art. I was always fascinated by the structure of things, why things work this way and not that way. So I like to see how things behave if you change the point of view.
If you’re looking for investment you’ve got to think about what the investor gets from being involved with your business. A lot of people think about what they’re getting from their point of view but not about what the investor gets out of a deal.
It was when ’21’ came out. I was in Los Angeles and my face was everywhere: on buses, on posters, on the side of buildings. I didn’t feel that blown away by it. I was still hungry to prove myself. I realised that quite quickly, that I had to find something that challenged me from an acting point of view.
As a heterosexual designer, it is really, really important to have a woman’s point of view.
‘Blueprint 3’ is made up of songs, but it’s also a commentary on the idea that in order for rap to survive, we have to stretch out the drama. We have to stretch out the audience. It can’t be this narrow – we have to stretch out the point of view.
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.
When I was 13, I asked for a guitar. And that’s how I really started explaining my point of view.
Comics write to their point of view. If you’re an exceedingly irreverent comedian, you’ve got to see where that point of view fits or produces the most funny.
It should be noted that the EPA’s banning of methanol is categorically absurd from the point of view of environmental protection.
If you break things down to goodies and baddies, the baddies are always a bit more alluring in fiction, and that’s true from a narrative point of view. But I wanted to write a novel about real life, and real life is a bit more nuanced than that.
I think most things I read on the Internet and in newspapers are propaganda. Everyone from the ‘New York Times’ to Rupert Murdoch has a point of view and is putting forth their own propaganda. They’re stuck with the facts as they are, but the way they interpret and frame them is wildly different.
Of all the nasty outcomes predicted for women’s liberation… none was more alarming, from a feminist point of view, than the suggestion that women would eventually become just like men.
I think, from our point of view, my opinion is that La Liga, the tempo and physicality is completely different to the Premier League. Technically, some of the teams there are absolutely tip top.
Everyone has a point of view about corporal punishment.
Shouldn’t you be able to tell your stories from your point of view? We’re dealing with that with ‘Looking’ where some queers are like, ‘These guys are so boring! They don’t represent me!’ But no show can represent everything, so is it OK for us, in ‘Looking,’ to write about these three men and their world?
From a personal point of view I want some medals because that is what you aim for when you start out playing.
I have never met anybody who can change their point of view as easily as me. It’s profoundly embarrassing.
From an actor’s point of view, you never really like to hope that anything will go beyond the pilot. I’d always say to my agent every time I filmed a pilot, ‘Great! Well, I’ll see you at pilot season.’
So, I don’t know what is going to happen when the CD comes out, how well it will sell, etc. But, from a personal point of view, it was a very worthwhile endeavor.
Having a female point of view in the room – when you get into a discussion about behavior – who would say what and how they would interact with one another. In certain situations, women are going to have a different opinion on that than men. It made for a really balanced conversation in the room.
Only he has the calling for politics who is sure that he shall not crumble when the world from his point of view is too stupid or too base for what he wants to offer.
If you see everything from the point of view of women being victims in some way, you don’t see the wood for the trees. It is better to be a person than a woman.
I see people as they really are from a pure point of view.
And, sure, if you have a political point of view, you have every right to share it. But you have to be careful not to get too self-important. You have to find the balance between being entertaining and being preachy.
It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one’s equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress.
If you look at the opening of ‘Private Ryan,’ you are so in the point of view of those guys and there is a whole world swirling all around them. You are learning that geography as they are learning it.
Bored with obvious reality, I find my fascination in transforming it into a subjective point of view.
From a producer’s point of view, of course, ‘Law & Order’ presents an ideal – a show that is almost entirely actor-proof, that can keep going and going no matter what happens to the cast or how many actors demand raises.
History is a certain way, but you just change the point of view a little bit, and you discover a whole new side of it.
As a Third World citizen, I always feel that I need to express my point of view. Sometimes the points of view of Third World countries are never expressed. We don’t have that possibility, sometimes, to spread what we feel and how we see things.
I’m always curious how we sometimes have a different point of view when it comes to justice. And that’s why people root for ‘Dexter.’
Growing up, I listened to a lot of everything – I fell in love with music, when I discovered people like Lauryn Hill and Tracy Chapman, people whose voices I could really feel, people with a lot of soul. That’s what I’m drawn to as a musician: Anybody that has their own voice and their own point of view.
The essential point of view of Christianity is sin.
The flapper has charm, good looks, good clothes, intellect and a healthy point of view.
Death is important for a couple reasons. The first is that death creates scarcity in our life, which therefore gives our decisions meaning and value. From a practical point of view, it therefore makes sense that we keep our own deaths in mind when deciding how to use our time.
I have hidden my race for 22 books. I have hidden behind my married name, which is very Caucasian, because I didn’t feel safe coming out with it. I didn’t feel that the market would really accept me. I think I felt it’s time to start bringing in an Asian-American point of view.
I don’t set out to transmit a message. I don’t write with a political point of view. There are no religious overtones. Looking back at my books, I can say, ‘Oh, yes, it is there.’ But it’s not in my mind when I write.
