“I believe that the profits will come from the quality of your creative products.

“When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them.

“Lawyers have a way of seeing that sets them apart from the rest of us. In some way this special vision makes them invaluable, and in other ways, repulsive. Lawyers are much more focused on rational, logical, and objective criteria to the exclusion of the emotional, subjective, and sometimes irrational reponses to the world. Moreover, lawyers like to show no emotion, and possess a particular disdain for the emotions that are found in others, which has the quality of making them seem inhuman.” WorldWaySometimesShowsSeemsFoundEmotionQualityVisionSeeingSpecialEmotionalParticularFocusedLawyerObjectivesRationalLogicalIrrationalSubjectiveCriteriaExclusionDisdainInhumanInvaluable Author:Thane Rosenbaum

“Vague promises of savings from cutting waste, enhancing prevention and wellness, installing electronic medical records and improving quality are merely ‘lipstick’ cost control, more for show and public relations than for true change...

“We're so screwed up with our principles. We used to mock Japanese game shows where they ate bugs. Now we're doing the same, if not worse. It's terrifying...

“I think television is moving more into movies, particularly with serialization and almost cinematic proportions and expectations. A show like 'Game of Thrones' is a perfect example of that, or even a show like 'The Wire,' which isn't all about instant gratification it's about inviting someone into the long experience of television the way you'd be invited into a theater for two hours. So I think in that way, and the quality of writing in television is probably much better than most film writing.” ThinkingWayWritingLongTwoShowsFilmMovingGamesHoursPerfectQualityExampleTelevisionExpectationsTheaterInstantProportionThronesInvitedGratificationInvitingCinematicInstant GratificationFilm Writing Author:Bryan Singer
