Early Quotes

The good news is we had this idea of cloud computing. The bad news is we were 10 years too early Picture Quote #1

In Los Angeles there’s, like, this awful image because the girls are so skinny. I don’t think it’s attractive whatsoever, and I also think that it gives a bad image to kids that are in their early teens. It’s not healthy Picture Quote #1

Bad Influence, which is an early movie of mine that I’m very fond of. It was an unhappy experience when that picture got released, because it coincided with that ridiculous Rob Lowe videotape scandal Picture Quote #1

I went to film school at UT Austin. I learned a lot and that school’s good for puking up all your bad movies early and quick. But ultimately, no one can teach you to be an artist Picture Quote #1

My father was a food lover and a deadbeat dad, and maybe a connection between good food and bad dads was forged early, in the deepest folds of my subconscious, where we make so many decisions about our parents Picture Quote #1

Iraq is so bad that President Obama phoned Hillary Clinton and asked her if she could start early Picture Quote #1

Early on in my career I had a lot of bad press about my temperament, but I was only a young lad then Picture Quote #1

Too rigid specialization is almost as bad for a historian’s mind, and for his ultimate reputation, as too early an indulgence in broad generalization and synthesis Picture Quote #1

Drama school was the first place I learned that looks can affect your career. It was very horrible at the time. I had a lot of very bad experiences at drama school because of that, from the teachers and the students. In the end, I think it was good for me because it hardened me to the realities of the business early on Picture Quote #1

I would have loved to have been a footballer like my great uncle Matt Busby, but I knew quite early on that I wasn’t going to make the grade. Luckily I was told by the age of 13 that I wasn’t good enough. That’s not a bad thing. You see this ‘X Factor’ generation of kids now who don’t accept that they’re not good enough Picture Quote #1

I learned something very important early on: You accept what happens and move on. In other words, if I hit a bad shot, I can’t change it. There is only the next shot. That was a big lesson Picture Quote #1

During the early days of HootSuite, when social media was still seen as a fad, I made the decision to treat our funding as if it were my personal bank account. That’s not to say I blew it on fast cars and fancy dinners. Exactly the opposite Picture Quote #1

I had an audition for Mary Jane Watson in ‘Spiderman’ and ended up playing Betty Brant in that series. I auditioned for Amy Adams’ role in ‘Catch Me If You Can’ and, you know, ended up playing the bank teller. So there were a lot of times early on where I felt like I was always sort of the bridesmaid, never the bride - never quite right Picture Quote #1

One of my early childhood memories was my grandmother always having a bowl of Nestle chocolate bars at her house. My sister and I would argue over who could eat the chocolate bars. Looking back, I don’t know why we just didn’t share. We could have split them Picture Quote #1

Wait until the end, like the last two or three minutes of cooking, to add barbecue sauce, so it cooks into your meat. But if you add it too early, it will make your fire flame up. You don’t have to slather on the sauce. Just lightly paste each side Picture Quote #1

My dad was my coach in baseball and early on in basketball, so playing baseball was something we always did Picture Quote #1

I knew that I was a gay boy fairly early; what was interesting to me was that my mother didn’t know. She made me play baseball - I had no desire to do that. I said, ‘Mom, I don’t like direct sunlight, I don’t like bugs, I don’t like grass, and I’d rather be in the house playing with your fabric samples.’ Picture Quote #1

In the early centuries of Islam, the great schools of Islamic jurisprudence were built upon the above principles. Basic to all their legal systems they developed the doctrine that liberty is the fundamental basis of law Picture Quote #1

I went to a seminar early in my career on the craft of storytelling by Robert McKee. It was really life altering. There are basic principles on how to craft an engaging story and he covers them well. He’s got a book out, ‘Story,’ that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in improve their storytelling Picture Quote #1

In the early days, myself and my friends were into punk because we had no money, just very basic instruments and skills. It was more about the ethos and the energy Picture Quote #1

Trip Hawkins - and this was the early 1980s - was saying there’s going to be a day when everyone has a computer and they’re going to want to do more on it, including playing games. So he started up a company, EA Sports, and he was going to have three games, football, basketball and baseball. So I was the football game Picture Quote #1

We opened the first Men’s Wearhouse in Houston in August 1973, then a store a year for 10 years in Texas. In the early 1980s I opened a store in the San Francisco Bay Area. Within the year, the Texas economy was in total disarray. We were facing Chapter 11, and if not for the California store, we might not have survived Picture Quote #1

I knew tech was going to be increasingly important in my lifetime, so I focused on it early Picture Quote #1

I like to be alone so I can write. But focus can hurt you. I don’t want to be some stress casualty in early middle age Picture Quote #1

One of my mentors early on was Eli Harari, the founder of SanDisk, who happened to be a friend of my dad’s Picture Quote #1

I don’t care what you’re playing. You can be playing EDM music. Well, guess what? That came out in the early 80s. There’s no way to be original. All you can do is put yourself into it and do the best you can Picture Quote #1

But marriage goes in waves. You’ve got to be patient. People bail and give up on their marriages way too early. They just don’t put the work and the effort into it. You’ve got to suck up your ego a lot of times, because that can be a big downfall Picture Quote #1

The oceans are more or less in disrepair. Long Beach really is making an effort to acknowledge this, and that’s a great place to start. I’m trying to spread at least the knowledge that it’s never too early to take care of our oceans and our environment Picture Quote #1

Certainly, the Beach Boys and the early Beatles records were a huge influence on me lyrically Picture Quote #1

The Beach Boys already had about four or five albums under our belt when these newcomers, The Beatles, took the U.S. by storm in early 1964 Picture Quote #1
