“I don't think the Bonzo Dog could have evolved in America, nor could the old Nice: because of their musical discipline. This is one thing that British groups do have, a sort of discipline. Sometimes it can get a bit soulless, but on the whole I think it's preferable to the American alternative.” ThinkingSometimesWholeAmericaBitsNiceOne ThingGroupsDogDisciplineMusicalBritishAlternativesSoulless Author:Jon Lord
“In theater, there's a lot of discipline involved in doing eight shows a week for a year and a half. It's nice to be able to bring some of that bag of tools with you over to the film world, where you don't have the rehearsal, you don't have an audience. You don't have a month of rehearsal to examine these words, and you meet the guy who's going to play your brother the morning that you shoot the scene. So you need a bag of tools.” WorldNeedsYearsPlayShowsAbleFilmGuyHalfMorningAudienceNiceWeekBrotherMonthsDisciplineInvolvedSceneToolsTheaterEightBagsRehearsalYour Brother Author:William Sadler

“I'd say that that is a challenge, but it also is, again, it's helpful. It's helpful to have the discipline of, okay, I'm doing, I'm doing something that's quite precise over here, working the puppet, and I'm doing something that's very imprecise and creative and unleashed over here, which is the comedy side. And it's kind of nice to allow your brain to be doing those two things at once.” KindTwoSidesChallengesBrainCreativeComedyNiceDisciplineOkayTwo ThingsHelpfulPrecisePuppetsUnleashed Author:Brian Henson
“My abject hatred of actors and the acting world. I went to college as an actor, and halfway through, I switched to playwriting and directing. Then I spent a couple years working in publishing, doing some freelance journalism for The Village Voice and Musician magazine. I thought my life was going to be as a writer, but then I realized I missed performing, so I got into comedy. It was a nice combination of things I was sort of good at. I was a pretty good writer and a decent actor, but I didn't really like acting, and I didn't have the discipline to be a writer.” WorldActingComedyNiceCollegeCoupleDisciplineMusicianHatredI RealizedJournalismPerformingDecentPublishingHalfway Author:Christian Finnegan
“What is needed, however, isn't just that people working together be nice to each other. It is discipline. Discipline is hard--harder than trustworthiness and skill and perhaps even than selflessness. We are by nature flawed and inconstant creatures. We can't even keep from snacking between meals. We are not built for discipline. We are built for novelty and excitement, not for careful attention to detail. Discipline is something we have to work at.” PeopleHardTogetherAttentionNiceNeededDisciplineSkillsCreaturesBuiltHarderDetailsCarefulExcitementMealsWorking TogetherBeing NiceSelflessnessFlawedNoveltyTrustworthinessAttention To Detail Book:The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right Source: The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right
