“My choices in projects have all been character or role-based, and on a financial level, it's obvious: as an actor on a TV series, I get a wonderful paycheck, and a consistent paycheck, which doesn't always happen when you're doing theater or movies.” CharacterHappensChoicesActorsLevelsRolesWonderfulTvsProjectsTheaterSeriesFinancialObviousConsistentPaychecksTv Series Author:Jim Parsons
“The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it's about and why you're doing it and what these people are saying and doing, and you get to feel like both the creator and the audience. Everything is suddenly both obvious and surprising ("but of course that's why he was doing that, and that means that...") and it's magic and wonderful and strange.” PeopleKnowsFeelsWritingMeanMomentsStoriesCoursesFictionAudienceFireWonderfulMagicStrangePagesObviousCreatorMake SenseBest ThingsThat MomentSurprisingWriting FictionSaying And Doing Author:Neil Gaiman
“As you look back in history, we [the United States] have done wonderful things, the Marshal Plan is the most obvious. After World War II, we spent billions of dollars to rebuild Europe or at least part of Europe after the devastation of World War II. We did it out of charity, but we also did it to keep the Russians from getting deeply into Europe.” WorldLooksWarStatesDoneUnitedUnited StatesPlansWonderfulEuropeDollarsCharityObviousBillionsWar Of The WorldsWorld War IiWorld War IWonderful ThingsDevastation Author:Michael Beschloss
“If you want to serve the universe, the obvious place to begin is right where you are. That's where I began. I looked at every situation I came into and wondered, 'What can I do to be of service in this situation?' Sometimes there was nothing I could do, but often there was - a helping hand, a word of cheer, a pleasant smile. Then, after I had given a lot, a most wonderful spiritual receiving began - giving me more to give.” IfsWantGivingSometimesHelpingHandsSpiritualUniverseGivenSituationWonderfulObviousPleasantWhere You AreCheerReceivingHelping Hand Author:Peace Pilgrim
“For society, the Internet is wonderful, but for capitalists, it will be a net negative. It will increase efficiency, but lots of things increase efficiency without increasing profits. It is way more likely to make American businesses less profitable than more profitable. This is perfectly obvious, but very little understood.” WayLittlesWonderfulInternetUnderstoodNegativeIncreaseProfitObviousCapitalistEfficiencyProfitableAmerican Business Author:Charlie Munger
“We try to use obvious Canadian touches whenever we can, and I'm really proud of the way we use Vancouver for its production value. Nobody is pretending that we're not shooting in Canada, which is really important to me. The other wonderful thing is that ABC has bought us, but they air us after CTV has had the full season air on Canadian television. That's another thing that I think is really a nod towards the importance of us acknowledging our own industry.” ThinkingWayTryingImportantUseValuesWonderfulAirTelevisionIndustryProudSeasonsImportanceProductionsObviousShootingCanadaPretendingWonderful ThingsVancouver Author:Kristin Lehman
