You need to know what makes artists tick. Having been through the process myself as a musician since I was an early teen gave me an advantage - understanding them from their point of view because it's about them it's not about you - it's their vision and what they're capable of achieving and you're the conduit.

I mean I'm pretty good in real life but sometimes people seem surprised that I'm like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I'm just a little bit more edgy than the person I play on television.

We're in this transition period of figuring out how to deal with all the new technology that is out there but television still proves to be the granddaddy of them all.

I have a vision that's about technology that empowers consumers over institutions.

We're in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything and that's what's new about television and film these days.

Aereo is the first potentially transformative technology that has the chance to give people access to broadcast television delivered over the Internet to any device large or small they desire. No wires no new boxes or remotes portable everywhere there's an Internet connection in the world - truly a revolutionary product.

There was a study done in the early 20th century of all the entrepreneurs who entered the automobile industry around the same time as Henry Ford there were something like 500 automotive companies that got funded had the internal combustion engine had the technology and had the vision. Sixty percent of them folded within a couple of years.

In a way film and television are in the same sort of traumatic trance that print journalism is. The technology has outpaced our comprehension of its implications.

Why are we as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported?

I think people have a vague sense that the television system is changing.

Television is a medium because anything well done is rare.

My mother wanted me to be a teacher. She had this vision of me walking across the quadrangle in an Oxford college wearing my academic gown.

The five steps in teaching an employee new skills are preparation explanation showing observation and supervision.

We all have to announce our full solidarity with the struggle of those seeking freedom and justice in Syria and translate this sympathy into a clear political vision that supports a peaceful transition to a democratic system of rule that reflects the demands of the Syrian people for freedom.

I always envisioned myself being a rapper and being in the game and having success but you never know what it feels like or how you're going to be when you're there.

I have an idea of who I want to be I have a vision of my own success.

I've always been too hard on myself to behave like I've arrived or even to enjoy whatever success I've had. I've always envisioned myself higher than where I was and I still do. With each success I think 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!'

You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range and delivering a long-range plan and executing on that.

We need to reach that happy stage of our development when differences and diversity are not seen as sources of division and distrust but of strength and inspiration.

Vision is perhaps our greatest strength... it has kept us alive to the power and continuity of thought through the centuries it makes us peer into the future and lends shape to the unknown.

To achieve lasting literature fictional or factual a writer needs perceptive vision absorptive capacity and creative strength.

I had a vision with which I might have saved my people but I had not the strength to do it.

When I dare to be powerful - to use my strength in the service of my vision then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

When I use my strength in the service of my vision it makes no difference whether or not I am afraid.
