“I'm into everything. My iPod is very eclectic - if you kept it on shuffle, you'd be amazed. For example, I was forced to grow up on Dolly Parton. My mum was obsessed by her.

“Real artists find answers. The knowledge of the artisan is within the confines of his skills. For example, I know a lot about lenses, about the editing room. I know what the different buttons on the camera are for. I know more or less how to use a microphone. I know all that, but that's not real knowledge. Real knowledge is knowing how to live, why we live, things like that.” KnowsDifferentRealUseArtistAnswersRoomsKnowingExampleSkillsCamerasButtonsEditingLensesMicrophonesArtisansReal KnowledgeReal Artists Author:Krzysztof Kieslowski
“The fact that used cars is our largest category is a good example. We would not have sat in a conference room and said, "Hey, how about used cars?" So what can be learned that is extensible to other companies is to ask what are your customers doing with your products that maybe you didn't anticipate that they would do? How do you think of your customers as your research and development lab, as opposed to having an R&D lab at headquarters?” ThinkingSaidFactsUsedAsksRoomsBusinessCompanyCarExampleProductsDevelopmentResearchCustomersHeySatCategoriesConferencesAnticipateThink Of YouLabsGood ExamplesResearch And DevelopmentHeadquartersUsed Car Author:Meg Whitman

“There were colored and white waiting rooms everywhere, from doctor's offices to the bus stations, as people may already know. But there were actually colored windows at the post office in, for example, Pensacola, Florida. And there were white and colored telephone booths in Oklahoma. And there were separate windows where white people and black people would go to get their license plates in Indianola, Mississippi.

“The biggest considerations I had were practical: how do you move such a large number of actors around a small space? So, for example, if I have to have the mother bring a pot of tea from the kitchen to the living room and serve it to the others, how do I, on a practical level, get everyone into the frame? Any decisions I made about the camera angles or movement came out of necessity, versus any sort of stylistic choice.” IfsMadeMovingMotherChoicesActorsSpaceDecisionLevelsRoomsNumbersExampleMovementCamerasPracticalsTeaKitchenConsiderationPotAngleVersusLiving RoomLarge NumbersSmall SpacesCamera Angles Author:Hirokazu Koreeda
