I tell you, in my opinion, the cornerstone of democracy is free press – that’s the cornerstone.
And the inner dynamics of Hollywood are like politics. Say you give a script to a group of executives – they all sit around, afraid to voice an opinion, saying nothing, waiting to know what the consensus is. Just like focus groups, opinion polls or a cabinet.
We are so vain that we even care for the opinion of those we don’t care for.

A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity.

From whichever angle one looks at it, the application of racial theories remains a striking proof of the lowered demands of public opinion upon the purity of critical judgment.
The Muslims have, as everyone else says, the right to practice their religion and they have the right to construct a mosque at ground zero if they wish. What I am saying, though, is that they should listen to public opinion, they should listen to the deep wounds and anguish that this is causing to so many good people.
My belief is that my wife should be at home looking after my kids and cooking and cleaning. She’s a very privileged woman to have a husband like me. Not everyone’s in her position, but the ones who are are very lucky. That’s my opinion.
I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible.
Life is not a spectator sport. If you’re going to spend your whole life in the grandstand just watching what goes on, in my opinion you’re wasting your life.
Government, in the last analysis, is organized opinion. Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government.
My opinion is the greatest reward that any government could get is the approval of the people. If the people are happy and the people are at peace and the government has done something for them, that’s the greatest reward I think any government could hope for.
I feel no need and have no desire to give any attention to other people’s opinion of me.
In my opinion, it’s more interesting to see magic happening in a world that feels grounded. If the world is already crazy, then anything can happen. So it’s better to start with something real.
Racism is a sign of ignorance, in my opinion. It’s people who haven’t been anywhere, haven’t seen the world.
You have to stay true to yourself, and as long as you are comfortable, then no one else’s opinion matters.

In my opinion, you don’t get to have privacy when you’re only 16!
I don’t know of anybody’s political bias at CBS News. We try very hard to get any opinion that we have out of our stories, and most of our stories are balanced.
Be able to notice all the confusion between fact and opinion that appears in the news.
I’d love the opportunity to do something where I could really give my opinion, my feisty side – it’d be fun!
Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.
I think anybody that gives their opinion in a confident way everyday is going to be criticized.
There is no maxim, in my opinion, which is more liable to be misapplied, and which, therefore, more needs elucidation, than the current one, that the interest of the majority is the political standard of right and wrong.
My opinion is that he’s a swindler and you’re a sucker.
This and many others only confirmed me in the opinion, planted when I saw the sale of Martha Ann, and growing steadily thereafter, that slavery was an accursed business, and that the sooner my people were relieved of it, the better.
In the sports world it’s all about argument. It’s all about having a hot take. The other person has to have the polar opposite opinion, and you bash them together. To me it is an outlier to have a conversation be the basis of why you are listening.
Gail didn’t want me commenting on the opinion pages. I was hired by the news department and, despite the rabid assertions of the Times’ enemies and detractors, the two really have nothing to do with each other.
I’m of the opinion that life doesn’t always tie up neatly at the end of the episode.
People have tried to corner the market on being offended, corner the market on language and corner the market on opinion. Should I lose my job ’cause I offended somebody? No, of course not. Your life should never be affected by public opinion.
Everyone should have equal opportunities and equal rights, but you can’t even have an opinion without somebody going off on you. That’s what’s wrong with this world today.
Entertainment isn’t just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music, and it’s great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.
You’ve got to be a thermostat rather than a thermometer. A thermostat shapes the climate of opinion; a thermometer just reflects it.
Former president Wulff said Islam belongs to Germany. That is true. I also hold this opinion.
I think I’m bad luck for Tiger because he missed the cut in Charlotte with me. But yeah, those are two of the best players of all time. Tiger’s the best player of all time in my opinion, so when he’s not in the field, it’s a relief because he’s such a great player.
The one thing I do know is that I’m the best Taylor Hawkins drummer there is, and that is all I can hope to be. And when it comes to music, musicianship and skill, there is no such thing as better or worse because so much is personal opinion, and I can see that now.
The signs that the world is spinning out of kilter are increasingly difficult to misinterpret. The question is how to convince enough people to join a critical mass of urgent opinion, in the U.S. and the rest of the world.
But since you’re asking me, I’ll tell you my opinion: all cornbread is authentic, as long as it’s good, hot, and made with love and fresh ingredients.
The main difference is that Courtney Cox, in my opinion, is a little cuter than Zach Braff.
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.
We live in a society obsessed with public opinion. But leadership has never been about popularity.
Even though shows like NYPD Blue are soaps in my opinion, but they’re individualized to an extent that you can still follow what’s going on if you miss a week.
These days there are not enough of such intermediary groups, between the state and the individual, with the result that political leaders are often unduly guided by opinion polls.
The best government rests on the people, and not on the few, on persons and not on property, on the free development of public opinion and not on authority.
Never let oneself be guided by the opinion of one’s contemporaries. Continue steadfastly on one’s way.
I do not believe any of the statistical claims that are made about public opinion. I don’t see why anybody does.
However, the Medicare prescription drug benefit has changed, and if the nearly 3,000 seniors I have met through 12 town halls can represent a sample of opinion, many seniors do not yet understand the prescription drug program and do not plan to sign up for coverage.
‘Time after Time’ is one of the best pop songs ever written, in my opinion. It’s an incredible, beautiful, timeless song.
The critic is a man who prefers the indolence of opinion to the trials of action.
Solomon Northup is one of the most remarkable people I’ve ever encountered in my life; one of the most amazing stories I have ever been in any kind of contact with. To not tell that story would have been disgraceful, in my opinion.
However, I have a low opinion of people with narrow political horizons. Someone who talks about the environment and knows nothing about economics can make as many mistakes as someone who does the opposite.
Since it is seldom clear whether intellectual activity denotes a superior mode of being or a vital deficiency, opinion swings between considering intellect a privilege and seeing it as a handicap.
James Franco has this interesting and relaxed look. It’s pretty ‘I don’t care,’ but it still looks good. Ryan Gosling also has amazing style. I take a lot of my fashion tips from those two. In my opinion, they’re the ones getting it right.
In my opinion, the Republican Party is the last on the list to care about the needs of old people and children and poor people.
