All ideas come about through some sort of observation. It sparks an attitude some object or emotion causes a reaction in the other person.

I think one of the things that language poets are very involved with is getting away from conventional ideas of beauty because those ideas contain a certain attitude toward women certain attitudes toward sex certain attitudes toward race etc.

What matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see I'm a numbers guy that's my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming we are bankrupting this country and I'm in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That's exactly what I should be doing.

It seems almost backwards to me that my music seems the more emotional outlet and the art stuff seems more about ideas.

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.

Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol but every human thought has its page in that vast book.

Gary Ross is amazing. He's just - he always has a billion ideas of what he wants but has a very clear perspective also he just makes it work. He really does. He's trying different things and making everything look amazing.

That's double-edged: it's amazing that they're bringing me in and showing people new ideas and at the same time it's a little hard because seventy percent of the time or even higher I'm not going to get those roles.

It's amazing how ideas start out isn't it?

Americans different in some maybe thoughts or emphasis still have the same ideas. They want a government that lets them be free that leaves them alone that doesn't interrupt and interfere with every aspect of their life that lets them go to work and keep more of what they've worked hard to have.

Photography suits the temper of this age - of active bodies and minds. It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas imagery for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting for one who sees quickly and acts decisively accurately.

The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class.

Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wonder whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid.
