It is always good to explore the stuff you don't agree with to try and understand a different lifestyle or foreign worldview. I like to be challenged in that way and always end up learning something I didn't know.

What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school but a different way of looking at the world and learning.

I'm just learning who I am and how relationships work and how to make them function. No different from anyone else.

It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.

In Britain you do your job. When you do an American TV show there is a sense of being one with the crew and there is a leadership element which was a learning curve for me because it is very different culturally. In Britain you just do it leave and say 'Thanks.'

The one thing I have learned as a CEO is that leadership at various levels is vastly different. When I was leading a function or a business there were certain demands and requirements to be a leader. As you move up the organization the requirements for leading that organization don't grow vertically they grow exponentially.

It's a different era. Our job now is to show leadership and vision and to help the next generation of artists.

Different times need different types of leadership.

Not everybody is created equal and it's important for companies to identify those high potentials and treat them differently accelerate their development and pay them more. That process is so incredibly important to developing first-class leadership in a company.

Obama is thoroughly mixed up with all these things he's got. He's got to solve Libya. He's got to solve Afghanistan. He's everywhere. And this nation I don't know why it's not showing the leadership and capacity to attend different issues at the same time.

I think Chinese leadership is trying to tell the world they have another set of logic or reasoning or values which are different from yours. Of course I don't think they believe that. It's just an argument that's made when you can't confront the truth and facts. They really want to maintain power.

I recognize we will pay more attention when we have different leadership.

I think President Obama could have handled politics and policies differently. But he has been decisive strong and consistent - important qualities in a president. Mitt Romney is indeed an Etch A Sketch the antithesis of leadership.

But I do not believe that the world would be entirely different if there were more women leaders. Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.

I have a different vision of leadership. A leadership is someone who brings people together.

Belief and knowledge are considered to be two different things. But they are not.

It's extremely hard for athletes to accept what's happened to them sometimes. It's hard to be beaten by a small margin and I've spoken with athletes who for years afterward have been tormented by the knowledge that had they done something ever so slightly different they could have been one-ten-thousandth of a second quicker.

The properties which differentiate living matter from any kind of inorganic imitation may be instinctively felt but can hardly be formulated without expert knowledge.

What guides Marxism then is a different model of society and a different conception of the function of the knowledge that can be produced by society and acquired from it.

We may take it to be the accepted idea that the Mosaic books were not handed down to us for our instruction in scientific knowledge and that it is our duty to ground our scientific beliefs upon observation and inference unmixed with considerations of a different order.

A number of scientists with greatly different backgrounds can come up with completely different assessments. The discussions or controversies are endless. Once a year we try to bring the most important discoverers together to exchange their experiences and knowledge.

To my knowledge I was the first guy really to do what I do. And then later on different comedians started trying doing it.

You go to college not only for the latest knowledge but also to meet people from different backgrounds. That's the genius of the American higher-education system compared with the Europeans'. We don't simply skim the elite.

You can do one of two things. You can bury you head in the sand and believe what everyone tells you - that you will always be that young that thin and that fabulous. Or you can use all the things you have - talent contacts knowledge - and do something different.
