challenges listening together
The biggest challenge in working together is simply listening;
mistake clothes tiny
Negotiations are about controlling things, about being in the driver's seat and make one tiny mistake; you're dead. I made one tiny mistake, I wore women's clothes
philosophy matter reason
My philosophy is basically this. And this is something that I live by. And I always have. And I always will. Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what. No matter ... where. Or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or ... or where you've been ... ever. For any reason, whatsoever.
beautiful baby war
I love babies. I think they are beautiful in all sorts of different ways. I try to pick up and hold a baby every day, if possible, because it nourishes me. It feeds my soul. Babies are drawn to me. And I think it's because they see me as one of them. But ... cooler and with my life put together a little bit more. If a baby were president, there would be no taxes. There would be no war. There would be no ... government, and ... things could get terrible. And actually probably it would be a better screenplay idea than a serious suggestion.
wise children mean
Yes, money has been a little tight lately. But, at the end of my life, when I'm sitting on my yacht, am I gonna be thinking about how much money I have? No. I'm going to be thinking about how many friends I have, and my children, and my comedy albums. I mean, I have a yacht, so I obviously did pretty well money-wise.
thinking careers want
I don't want somebody sucking up to me because they think I am going to help their career. I want them sucking up to me because they genuinely love me.
kings guy drug
When I said that I was king of forwards, you've got to understand that I don't come up with this stuff. I just forward it along. You wouldn't arrest a guy who was just passing drugs from one guy to another.
technology lakes people
Everyone always wants new things. Everybody likes new inventions, new technology. People will never be replaced by machines. In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy.
jokes appropriate
There is no such thing as an appropriate joke. That's why it's a joke.
ideas personality together
Good collaboration essentially boils down to personalities who work well together and are able to integrate each other's notes and ideas without killing each other.
stupid believe thinking
Reverse psychology is an awesome tool, I don't know if you guys know about it, but basically you can make someone think the opposite of what you believe, and that tricks them into doing something stupid. Works like a charm.
children book years
This year, more people will use cocaine than will read a book to their children.
winning play needs
You need to play to win. But you also need to win ... to play.
stories influence storytelling
All great literary works influence us as writers, not their stories as much as their storytelling ability.
