During the past few decades modern technology with radio TV air travel and satellites has woven a network of communication which puts each part of the world in to almost instant contact with all the other parts.

In a way song writing can almost be detrimental because suddenly you find an outlet that is a kind of cheating. You don't need to have direct communication. You can say 'I can't describe it to you but I will record it and send it to you.'

Making movies is not rocket science. It's about relationships and communication and strangers coming together to see if they can get along harmoniously productively and creatively. That's a challenge. When it works it's fantastic and will lift you up. When it doesn't work it's almost just as fascinating.

When it comes to meat change is almost always cast as an absolute. You are a vegetarian or you are not.

Effectively change is almost impossible without industry-wide collaboration cooperation and consensus.

In the United States three new methods of transportation made their appearance at almost the same time - the steamboat the canal boat and the rail car.

A lot of people think Formula One isn't a sport because everyone drives a car when they go to work in the morning. But we're pulling up to six G on a corner or during breaking which is almost like being a fighter pilot. So we have to do a lot of work on our neck muscles.

Independent film is almost nonexistent right now because all the distributers that used to love to put out these little art films are all out of business right now because it costs so much to open a movie.

I am just at that stage of wondering where I go from here. I came into this business almost by accident but now it has become serious. What started as a bit of fun something to do other than be a model has taken on a different career curve. I have been forced to ask where that curve is going to end up.

Baseball is a game yes. It is also a business. But what is most truly is is disguised combat. For all its gentility its almost leisurely pace baseball is violence under wraps.

Baseball just a came as simple as a ball and bat. Yet as complex as the American spirit it symbolizes. A sport a business and sometimes almost even a religion.

It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business as it were and I use almost pure turpentine to start with adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help and that's my method.

Most executives many scientists and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.

Almost anyone can be an author the business is to collect money and fame from this state of being.

In almost every profession - whether it's law or journalism finance or medicine or academia or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust we are all worse off for it.

Dad almost died of a heart attack in the middle of making Apocalypse Now the biggest movie of his life. It doesn't make you want to jump into that business.

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

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.

About astrology and palmistry: they are good because they make people vivid and full of possibilities. They are communism at its best. Everybody has a birthday and almost everybody has a palm.

An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false misleading fictitious mendacious - just dead wrong.

My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.

I first fell in love with music when I was a little boy. When I first heard music I felt the beauty in it. Then being able to tap along on a table top and box was great but my favorite thing to do was to watch records spin. I would almost get hypnotized by it. These things are what drew me in initially.

I maintain my inner beauty by trying to lead a balanced life in general. I try to eat healthy foods but... that doesn't mean I won't treat myself now and then! I work out almost every day which gives me more energy and helps me feel stronger. I also try to be a genuinely good person to the people around me.
