“I'm good at my job for a midwestern American. Maybe it's because people in fashion often mistake common sense for genius. I mean, some model walks down the runway in an impossible outfit, and I state the obvious ? no one is going to wear that ? and people are like, you're brilliant!.” PeopleMeanStatesJobsWalksCommonMistakeImpossibleFashionLike YouGeniusModelsObviousBrilliantCommon SenseRunway Author:David Wolfe
“What we'd consider a positive role model, I think it's impossible to actually be a role model. You'll have your flaws or defects of character, regardless. You just speak like a positive role model, and that's just something that you're being conscious of, and you make the decision, "I want to say positive things."” ThinkingWantCharacterSpeakDecisionRolesImpossibleModelsConsciousFlawsRole ModelsDefectsPositive ThingsPositive Role ModelDefects Of Character Author:Curtis Jackson

“It could be Fascist, religious or political - it's always the same model that operates in these circumstances, and it's that which is the actuality of this film.

“What I really think is that our current model of copyright is fundamentally broken. We badly need to replace it with a different system for remunerating creators, which gets it the hell out of the face of the public (who were never aware of it to begin with in the pre-internet dead tree era). Unfortunately, the current copyright model is enshrined in international trade treaty law, making it almost impossible to work around.” ThinkingNeedsDifferentFacesLawHellImpossibleTreeBrokenInternetModelsTradeInternationalCurrentsCreatorErasTreatiesCopyrightInternational TradeDead TreesLaw Making Author:Charles Stross

“It is impossible to swear an oath to the German Basic Law without realizing that our constitution is among the most liberal constitutions in the world.

“Questions like, "Is my suit OK?", or "Is my job performance satisfactory?", are impossible to think about in the absence of a suitable frame of reference. For an interview suit to serve its purpose, it must make you look good relative to other candidates for the job you want. For your job performance to be satisfactory, it must compare favorably with the performance of others who want the same promotion you do. As Charles Darwin saw clearly, much of life is graded on the curve, and conventional economic models completely ignore that fact.” ThinkingWantLooksFactsJobsLife IsPurposeSawsImpossibleEconomicModelsPerformancesAbsenceSuitsCompareCandidatesInterviewsRelativeConventionalCurvesPromotionSuitableFrame Of ReferenceEconomic Models Author:Robert H.

“The worst thing about film, from my point of view, is that it cripples illusions which I have encouraged people to create in their heads. Film doesn't create illusion. It makes them impossible.
