People have amazing ideas. The main problem - I won't call it a problem, let's call it a roadblock - is if you use the analogy of a convoy of vehicles going to help a distress situation: they have all the resources needed (food, medicine, everything they need), and as the convoy is traveling, there's a rockslide. You can't get through the road. What good does any of that stuff do when you can't get it to where it needs to go?
Music has the potential and the capability to create something much bigger. . . it has the capability to be completely free, to do anything. And I think you limit that idea when you put yourself in front of it, in a way.
There are no hard times for good ideas.
Sometimes you need to transport your idea to an empty landscape and then populate it with fantastic looking people.
If a man goes into business with only the idea of making money, the chances are he won't.
I had always been fascinated by the whole idea that Australia was this different ecology and that when rabbits and prickly pears and other things from Europe were introduced into Australia, they ran amok.

We pack the physical outline of the creature we see with all the ideas we have already formed about him, and in the complete picture of him we compose in our minds those ideas have certainly the principal place.
Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.
I was not religious, but I liked rituals. I liked the idea of connecting an action with remembering.
It's very difficult to live with religious ideas. I can't compare religion to the movies. I can fuse them.
When I go in to the recording studio, I already know almost exactly what I am going to do, but when I go to set, it is really a wildcard. I have no idea what is going to happen.
The thing is, in America, it just seemed ridiculous - I mean, the idea of having a hit record over there,. . . It was just something you could never do.
I have seen entrepreneurs ask for hundreds of millions of dollars on a concept and try to sell because of 'their passion' for an idea. If the idea is that good, why wouldn't I cut you out and hire someone who is just as passionate for much, much less?
The whole idea we have for their chastity is ridiculous. They would have to become numb and invisible to please us. I don't know whether the exploits of Alexander and Caesar really surpass the resolution of a beautiful young woman, bred up in the light and commerce of our society, who still keeps herself whole. There is no doing so hard as not doing.
I don't have a lot of time for managing [my businesses], so I put a lot of trust in people I hire to manage my businesses. I can't necessarily attend to [the businesses] while I'm in season. We swap ideas on how we can improve and deliver a better product.
I think we carry around the idea of being a Kid in the Hall as part of our identity. It's a big part of how we see ourselves now.
The idea that any president represents the world, by definition the United States must be diminished for that to happen.
You are not your idea, and if you identify too closely with your ideas, you will take offense when they are challenged.
Critics of the Wall Street protesters claim that they have old ideas, nothing new, and they're never going to work. Wait a minute. , that sounds like this show.
