• Living in L.A., everyone likes to mold you and change you. I don't care about fame, I don't care about being a celebrity. I know that's part of the job, but I don't feed into anyone's idea of who I should be.
  Jessica Alba Quotes
• Photography, for me, brings us back to the actual event more clearly, more directly. Contemplation allows me to imagine my own truth, and the idea that I get of this truth helps me to discover other ideas, and so on…My work becomes a chain of ideas created by the many images that I look at and which I have registered, often on contrasting subjects.
  Francis Bacon Quotes
• Images also help me find and realise ideas. I look for the suggestion of one image as it relates to another. I look at hundreds of very different, contrasting images and I pinch details from them, rather like people who eat from other people’s plates. When I paint, I want to paint an image from my imagination, and this image is subsequently transformed.
  Francis Bacon Quotes
• The challenge is to understand the psyche of somebody like that. There is no true genius or revolutionary ideas, I don’t think, without some element of compulsiveness or madness or obsession, and that’s certainly indicative of Howard Hughes. Understanding his obsessive-compulsive disorder was really the key for me for opening up who this man was.
  Leonardo DiCaprio Quotes
• I'm not one of those people you talk to who studied and loved so and so. I loved the idea of studying everyone. So I would go from watching Saturday Night Live to a big deal before cable was watching The Tonight Show and getting so excited when there a comic was on. It was such a big deal. I remember watching Garry Shandling for the first time and Jerry Seinfeld and watching their differences. I also had a couple of Steve Martin's albums. All of those things put together and SCTV I guess collectively influenced me in different kind of ways.
  Will Ferrell Quotes
• I was completely clueless. Not only did the crocodile direct us with no script, no story and absolutely no idea of one scene to the next, he would not let us see rushes. I didn't even know how I looked. He'd stand in front of the camera. There'd be the video people and the camera people, and he'd actually block the screen so I couldn't see it. We filmed him blocking the screen so I couldn't see it!
  Steve Irwin Quotes
• We try to make each situation specific to the person. At the beginning of the season, we come up with, like, 50 to 100 ideas, which we workshop and then we call around to see who is interested in doing something like that. Once we find the people, we make the bid specific to them. A lot of it is about where you can get people to go physically, which is a little tricky because most actors and musicians are kind of hermits--they like to stay in their houses.
  Ashton Kutcher Quotes
• I really got the idea I must be a star, or something from the newspapermen, I'm saying men, not the women who would interview me and they would be warm and friendly. By the way, that part of the press, you know, the men of the press, unless they have their own personal quirks against me, they were always very warm and friendly and they'd say, "You know, you're the only star," and I'd say, "Star?" and they'd look at me as if I were nuts. I think they, in their own kind of way, made me realize I was famous.
  Marilyn Monroe Quotes
• There's this idea that if you take your clothes off, somehow you must have loose morals. There's still a negative attitude in our society towards women who use a strength that's inherent - their femininity - in any way that might be considered seductive.
  Demi Moore Quotes
• We start with the written word. Then we get to TV, originally with the idea that it will protect the advertising base and it then progresses into a medium of its own with news, programmes and ideas. You then look at TV and you say: 'Look, we don't want to just buy programmes from a Hollywood studio, we'd better have one.'
  Rupert Murdoch Quotes
• We think that there is so much media now with the Internet and people … and so easy and so cheap to start a newspaper or start a magazine, there’s just millions of voices, and people want to be heard. And we don’t really have to worry … the old ideas of it being too concentrated … I think that’s fading away.
  Rupert Murdoch Quotes
• I don't like the idea of any more abdication of our sovereignty in economic affairs or anything else.
  Rupert Murdoch Quotes
• In motivating people, you've got to engage their minds and their hearts. I motivate people, I hope, by example and perhaps by excitement, by having productive ideas to make others feel involved.
  Rupert Murdoch Quotes
• I didn't start acting until I was 20. I wanted to be a musician. I've been playing in bands for years and years and years. It was obviously the performance in me. I loved movies as a teenager, always loved, loved films, but I never thought I'd be involved, which was obviously an insane idea. It was theatre that was the main attraction to me, so I did a lot of theatre.
  Cillian Murphy Quotes
• The progression of a painter's work as it travels in time from point to point, will be toward clarity.. toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea.. and the idea and the observer.. To achieve this clarity is inevitably to be understood.
  Mark Rothko Quotes
• If our titles recall the known myths of antiquity, we have used them again because they are the eternal symbols upon which we must fall back to express basic psychological ideas.
  Mark Rothko Quotes
• Surround yourself with people that are full of ideas, and people that are not going to be "yes-men." Surround yourself with smart, truthful, honest people.
  Donald Trump Quotes
• I was sure the ideas were right. I just hadn't brought them to life. They were just words on stage by a new face.
  Jack Welch Quotes
• I hardly ever see my paintings around.I don’t have the faintest idea where halfof my life’s work is. Sometimes that worries me. We should have a museum specially built for retrospectives. It would be ten feet wide and a mile long, like a railway tunnel, and you could walk down someone’s life chronologically.
