Quote examples
Tom Hanks
American Actor
The most accurate representation of how I feel is that I'm incredibly lucky to be working in this structure where people get paid millions to read the news on TV. And, yes, it is insane. And there is nothing I can say beyond acknowledging my immense good fortune, and being aware that I'm blessed, and aware that it isn't going to last forever.
Quote examples
Jordan Peterson
Canadian Psychologist
A properly balanced story provides an equal representation of the negative and positive attributes of, I could say the world, but it's actually a being. 'Harry Potter''s a good example. So Harry's the hero, right. But he's tainted with evil. There's a dark and a light in every bit of that narrative. It's well balanced.
Quote examples
Richard P. Feynman
American Physicist
There is always another way to say the same thing that doesn't look at all like the way you said it before. I don't know what the reason for this is. I think it is somehow a representation of the simplicity of nature.
Quote examples
Jessica Chastain
American Actress

Quote examples
Joel McHale
American Comedian
It's important to have the right agent - people that are working hard for you. But an actor needs to be in control of their career no matter how good the representation is.

Franz Liszt
Hungarian Composer

Jeff Koons
American Artist
I love the gallery, the arena of representation. It's a commercial world, and morality is based generally around economics, and that's taking place in the art gallery.
