Customers don't know what they want. There's plenty of good psychology research that shows that people are not able to accurately predict how they would behave in the future. So asking them 'Would you buy my product if it had these three features?' or 'How would you react if we changed our product this way?' is a waste of time. They don't know.

In the light of our culture these are not unreasonable questions and tactics but if once again we try to see the lens through which we look we can see that there is far too great an emphasis placed on the future.

That future depends on the values of self-government our sense of duty loyalty self-confidence and regard for the common good. We are a diverse country and getting more diverse. And these virtues are what keep this great country together.

In every man the memory of the struggles and the heroes of the past is alive. But these memories are not incompatible with the desire for peace in the future.

And when these advances are made hydrogen can fill critical energy needs beyond transportation. Hydrogen can also be used to heat and generate electricity for our homes. The future possibilities of this energy source are enormous.

I want to do very useful buildings and I would like to find a method of producing these buildings through our technology because I think that this is the only way that we will gain wonderful environment easily in the future.

The risk presented by these lethal wastes is like no other risk and we should not be expected to accept it or to project it into the future in order for manufacturers and utilities to make a dollar killing now.

I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am and I move on while thinking of these things.

I said tonight I wanted to talk to you about love. Look into your hearts. This is our country. This is our future. These are our children and grandchildren. You can trust Mitt.

Well clearly for me in the immediate future it is grappling like so many other governors are grappling with the economic woes of these states. We were all hoping to see some federal relief.

The law of humanity ought to be composed of the past the present and the future that we bear within us whoever possesses but one of these terms has but a fragment of the law of the moral world.

The people in charge globally are maniacs. They are maniacs and unless we do something about it these people are going to deprive us of a future.

When I was a kid I thought movie stars were women and men who were in these great films that we still look at now. But I don't think there are too many films coming out these days that we're going to look at in the future and say 'This is one of the great ones.'

Instead of seeing these children for the blessings that they are we are measuring them only by the standard of whether they will be future deficits or assets for our nation's competitive needs.

Use your lives wisely my friends and conserve these precious freedoms for future generations.

Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past which can bridge to the future.

It's funny that all these goths paint their faces with such white make-up and that is the actual colour of my skin I am that pale!

It's funny because I did all of these interviews as soon as I had the baby and they were asking questions and I really didn't have an idea of anything because I was so blurry.

I come more to Scotland than I ever used to so I feel more connected to it more part of the zeitgeist. You know when you realize you have a choice and I'm choosing my homeland. It's funny: when you get older these things creep up to you.

I've dated some women who have turned me on to some funny things that are strange for men to actually do but these things have become part of my process. I think the things I do for my appearance help make me look better. I even colour my hair because I like how it makes me look.

Movies these days have made killers into funny people. What's that all about? I've got kids and family and friends and I don't like bad things. I don't think they're funny and it's irresponsible to make movies that don't show you how that's not good.

I show them the funny part the silly part the laughing part the crazy part and then the really deep deep part where I'm talking from my heart to these people. Because I've been through everything they've been through.

I'm half Jewish I'm half black I look in-between. I dress funny. I play all these different styles of music on one record. It's like What is he doing?
