I am convinced that there are few, if any, American people that could even start believing or understanding what living in a socialist country does to a person.
You don't need a title. You don't need a degree in business organization or be trained in the finer arts of persuasion. You just need to believe you can lead. So start there. Start believing.
Once you start lying, you get kind of comfortable. You start believing it. Especially if you truly believe you didn't really cheat because you were doing what everybody else was doing.
You just want to prove people wrong and, over time, people start believing in you.
When you start believing you're something special, then you're not going to be striving to move forward.
I was a late starter on the romantic front. I didn't start dating until I was in my 30s.
I definitely storyboard, but I only start once I have cast and location. I like to find the world first.
I made a really good start to my career, and there was a lot of speculation about where I'd end up going. Like I did then, I'm just trying to take this all in my stride and keep my feet on the ground.
Auctomatic was a compressed start-up experience, going from start to launch to acquisition in under a year. We spent a long time building the product before getting our first customer, whereas with Stripe we made sure we had paying customers from the very start.
I was fascinated by stripes from the start. On clothing, they follow a woman's movements.
I got my start in the 'New York Times' because I used to read Stuart Elliot, the advertising columns. I still do. And I read him so religiously, I wanted to work for him before I died.
When you start off a T20 innings you want someone who is going to be hitting the top of off stump, causing problems and being quite disciplined with the ball.
I've learned that I get blocked when my subconscious mind is telling me that I've taken the work in a wrong direction, and that once I start listening to what my subconscious is trying to tell me, I can work out the problem and get moving again.
I believe that filmmakers have to internalize the story and subtext so well that all of the departments can start to speak to each other - that music can speak to cinematography can speak to writing and back again.
When people start yammering about artistic responsibility, artists become wary. The subtext of such talk is that the arts need to be regulated, which is to say censored.
A character takes shape in the act of writing. You start with something, and you add or subtract.
Georgia Southern was such a big part of me getting my start.
Please don't stick with me if I start sucking.
Normally I work out a general summary of what I mean to do, then start writing, and the details can be different from my anticipation. So there is considerable flow, but always within channels.
I'm obsessed with radio. It's a good start to Sunday morning.
