The most difficult thing is the decision to act the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the procedure the process is its own reward.

I want a car that will last 10 years or longer because I totally hate the process of researching shopping for a new car and then haggling for the price. I wish I could just snap my fingers and my car is there.

But now I feel off the grid. I feel that I am not part of the culture. And because I don't have a car I don't really go anywhere to buy things. In fact I have been in a slow process of selling and giving away everything I own.

A gun can be dangerous. But a gun can protect you you can hunt for food with it - you know the tool itself is a tool. The intention of the party using the tool is a part of the process right? You know: the knife cuts the steak stabs the person saves somebody from danger cuts somebody out of a car.

Shutting off the thought process is not rejuvenating the mind is like a car battery - it recharges by running.

Writing fiction is for me a fraught business an occasion of daily dread for at least the first half of the novel and sometimes all the way through. The work process is totally different from writing nonfiction. You have to sit down every day and make it up.

I have several writer friends but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.

Design in its broadest sense is the enabler of the digital era - it's a process that creates order out of chaos that renders technology usable to business. Design means being good not just looking good.

I think people are used to seeing actors be wide open and desperately giving of themselves and while I do that on a movie set as much as I can it's so unnatural for me to do it on television in interviews in anything like that. I also don't find that my process as an actor is really anyone else's business.

I think we have to notice that the business processes we use right now for thinking and planning and budgeting and strategy are all delivered on very tight agendas.

The god whom science recognizes must be a God of universal laws exclusively a God who does a wholesale not a retail business. He cannot accommodate his processes to the convenience of individuals.

Few businessmen are capable of being in politics they don't understand the democratic process they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business.

Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design manufacturing... layout processes and procedures.

A cardinal principle of Total Quality escapes too many managers: you cannot continuously improve interdependent systems and processes until you progressively perfect interdependent interpersonal relationships.

I always wanted to shave. It is a very natural process. For my birthday I got a lot of shaving stuff.

And I believe that the best learning process of any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others.

Let me be the first to tell you drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up.

Like anything else that happens on its own the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have but when it comes to the act of creation the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.

When you put the interest of a kid on money instead of heart then you're destroying the beauty of our lives and our thought process which should be about how much responsibilities you carry as an athlete and a citizen.

I'm proud that today at 43 years old I've come to value the aging process and focus on inner rather than outer beauty.

There does not seem to be that collegiality I referred to there seems to be much more of a them versus us attitude rather than we all have a role to play in this process so let's get on with it.

The giant white cube is now impeding rather than enhancing the rhythms of art. It preprograms a viewer's journey shifts the emphasis from process to product and lacks individuality and openness. It's not that art should be seen only in rutty bombed-out environments but it should seem alive.

Medicine is not only a science it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters it deals with the very processes of life which must be understood before they may be guided.

Let's talk of a system that transforms all the social organisms into a work of art in which the entire process of work is included... something in which the principle of production and consumption takes on a form of quality. It's a Gigantic project.
