“Sometimes an actor doesn't sell an idea 100 percent. It just sounds like something that's coming out of their head. You can hear the gears whirring and they're trying to think of what the smart approach is to getting a line across.” ThinkingTryingIdeasSometimesActorsSoundLinesApproachSmartPercentSellsComing OutGearsLike Something Author:David Gordon Green
“3D needs a trained eye. It can't be done by everybody. People who just do 3D just for the sake of commercializing their movie another five or six percent and they don't know really how to do it, they should care how to do it better by bringing other directors and collaborators into their lives to help teach and instruct how you really make a 3D movie because it's not just like putting a new lens on a camera and forgetting it. It takes a lot of very careful consideration. It will change your approach to where you put the cameras. So, 3D isn't for everybody.” PeopleKnowsNeedsShouldDoneHelpingEyeCareForgetTeachFiveDirectorsSixApproachPercentCamerasSakeCarefulConsiderationLensesCollaborators Author:Steven Spielberg
“There are three important principles to Graham's approach. [The first is to look at stocks as fractional shares of a business, which] gives you an entirely different view than most people who are in the market. [The second principle is the margin-of-safety concept, which] gives you the competitive advantage. [The third is having a true investor's attitude toward the stock market, which] if you have that attitude, you start out ahead of 99 percent of all the people who are operating in the stock market - it's an enormous advantage.” PeopleIfsGivingFirstsLooksImportantDifferentThreeViewsAttitudePrinciplesShareApproachPercentConceptsAdvantageThirdsSafetyEnormousInvestorsMarginsCompetitive AdvantageDifferent Views Author:Warren Buffett
“10 years ago [in 2006], nearly 90 percent of those albums sold enough in that year to reach Gold status. 10 years later, about 30 percent were eligible. With the new rules, we figure about 40 percent of the top 200 best-sellers for the year will be eligible. We were very cautious in our approach to changing how we calculate what is eligible because the integrity of the process is our foremost consideration. It's difficult to get certified sales awards, and it's a big deal and we didn't want there to be a huge change in how many would be eligible.” WantYearsEnoughBigsWould BeProcessDifficultDealsFiguresHugeIntegrityApproachPercentYears AgoGoldAlbumsConsiderationAwardsBig DealCautiousSellersBest SellersHuge Changes Author:Cary Sherman

“We do have to balance this issue of privacy and security. Those who pretend that there's no balance that has to be struck and think we can take a 100-percent absolutist approach to protecting privacy don't recognize that governments are going to be under an enormous burden to prevent the kinds of terrorist acts that not only harm individuals, but also can distort our society and our politics in very dangerous ways.” ThinkingWayKindGovernmentIndividualIssuesSecurityDangerousBalanceApproachPercentBurdenHarmTerroristEnormousPrivacyOur SocietyPrivacy And Security Author:Barack Obama
“My approach to cutting spending as president, is to do a ten percent across the board cut of all federal agencies, and then ask each of my new agency heads to find another ten percent by drilling down.
