Ernst Haas // "Ask yourself if you would do it if nobody would ever see it, if you would never be compensated for it, if nobody ever wanted it. If you come to a clear 'yes' in spite of it, then go ahead and don't doubt it anymore."
Tina Fey // "Speak in statements instead of apologetic questions. No one wants to go to a doctor who says, "I'm going to be your surgeon? I'm going to talk to you about your procedure?"... Make statements, with your actions and your voice."
Lena Dunham // "Luxury is nice, but creativity is nicer."
Charlotte Rampling // "I am fascinated by the whole process of what it's like to be alive, whether it's unbelievably uncomfortable and horrible or whether it's quite nice."
Richard McGuire // "I've been thinking a lot about how seldom we're in the moment, how we're always thinking about something else, making plans, remembering...but occasionally we get flashes of being right where we are."
Nina Simone // "I have to constantly re-identify myself to myself, reactivate my own standards, my own convictions about what I’m doing and why."
Marina Abramovic // "I think communication starts when words are not present at all... I think we put so much emphasis on language, actually silence is so much more important."
Michael Caine // "I've always got to have one impossible dream on the back burner."
Woody Allen // "I have no idea what I am doing, but incompetence has never prevented me from plunging in with enthusiasm."
Andy Warhol // "People are always so boring when they band together. You have to be alone to develop all the idiosyncrasies that make a person interesting."
Ludwig van Beethoven // "It seemed unthinkable for me to leave the world forever before I had produced all that I felt called upon to produce."
Mick Jagger // "People now have less and less work to do...as the years go on they'll have hardly any work to do because there will be machines to do it for them, which has already happened. And so they'll have to work like four hours a day and the rest of the time they'll have to do something else. And that something else isn't going to be what people think. It isn't going to be just jumping around and swimming and just reading books and going to movies because...you get very bored with those things very quickly... I hope it's going to be something good."
