Text Quotes
Rock n Roll Animal, the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me (Influence Quotes)
[My work] is using light as a material to influence or affect the medium of perception. I feel that I want to use light as this wonderful and magic elixir that we drink as Vitamin D through the skin - and I mean, we are literally light-eaters - to then affect the way that we see (Influence Quotes)
The scary thing is a dramatic erosion of American position in the world - its economic, military position, as well as America’s influence. Obama is not the man at the wheel desperately trying to conserve American power, influence and wealth. For ideological reasons, he wants the slipping to continue. He’s actually the architect of it (Influence Quotes)
When I went to live in South Africa, I immediately began to understand what went wrong. Because here was a place supposed to be under apartheid - I arrived there in 1991 - but here a black person had more say and had more influence over his white government than an average Kenyan had over the Moi government (Influence Quotes)
Warhol was definitely an inspiration when I was younger. I wouldn’t quantify his sort of influence. I’ve been influenced by nature and science, and I’ve been influenced by people like Ernst and Rauschenberg, Cornell and Bosch and Bruegel, by writers like Haruki Murakami to Pablo Neruda to Artaud (Influence Quotes)
You can’t be around Oprah and not have her influence you, and I don’t mean that because she’s doling out the free advice. I mean it because she is someone that leads with truth and follows her heart. She’s a force (Influence Quotes)
I think it’s pathetic that a court of law cannot be in a vacuum of the legal system, without the influence of the public threatening to do great bodily harm to people and property. It’s really a pathetic statement for our country (Influence Quotes)
I like how you can go back and watch David Lean and John Ford and see the influence that had on Steven Spielberg, especially David Lean, in the camerawork, and yet, you don’t watch any Spielberg movie and think of David Lean. Once you’re looking for it, you see it all, but it’s not in your face (Influence Quotes)
[Akiro] Kurosawa, no doubt, was a big influence. Movies sometimes more than directors have influenced me: The Grapes of Wrath, by John Ford, was an extraordinary discovery. Sergei Eisenstein, of course. Later on, [Ingmar] Bergman (Influence Quotes)
The American influence is not so aggressive anymore. The American big business influence in Latin America is not as strong, so people can vote and they can have a different life than before. They can have more liberal, more interesting, and more democratic governments (Influence Quotes)
As more money flowed through Washington and as Washington’s power to regulate our lives grew, opportunities and temptations for graft, influence peddling and cutting corners grew exponentially. Power breeds corruption (Influence Quotes)
Klout and various measurements of influence are fun. I love to see where I score on them, but there’s a computer algorithm behind the calculation. If there’s an algorithm, it can be gamed. Even if it’s not gameable, you have to take a leap of faith that the number of followers, retweets, mentions, whatever really mean something (Influence Quotes)
My biggest influence growing up was Mad magazine, which is a very text-heavy form of visual satire. I didn’t grow up wanting to draw donkeys and elephants with the names of politicians written across them (Influence Quotes)
Cartoons are perhaps a bigger part of art than is generally realized, and they influence people in ways that are not always recognized. But creating a monumental work of architecture, or writing a great symphony, is something else. It’s a higher order of creation (Influence Quotes)
I have not found my perspective on my career change. What I have found is that my life in general has been more fulfilling. To be able to influence an individual’s life and on who they become as a person is a very rewarding feeling (Influence Quotes)
[Louis Armstrong is] the father of us all, regardless of style or how modern we get. His influence is inescapable. Some of the things he was doing in the 20’s and 30’s, people still haven’t dealt with (Influence Quotes)
What I’ve started to realize is that social media is not just technology - it’s become its own entity, full of energy waves. These energy waves could be a Tweet about something you are furious about, like the Keystone Pipeline, or a piece of legislation. Instantly, energy surrounds and adds traction, influence, making it come alive (Influence Quotes)
As far as my New York influence, one thing I’m proud of in my career is, I rep Brooklyn, New York all day. But people don’t look at my music as New York music. People consider my music underground music (Influence Quotes)
I guess my biggest influence was actually my Grandfather. He used to play old records on vinyl, and would play old jazz and soul music like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and The Rat Pack and swing music (Influence Quotes)
What you eat, how much you exercise, what example you set for those you influence are all matters of choice. Consistently making that best choice will add up to living your best life. Your health is the key to that (Influence Quotes)
There were a lot of people doing new and interesting things with rock. But I wanted to take it farther than that. My real influence was punk. I must have listened to the first Patti Smith album 300 times (Influence Quotes)
Real power has to do with one’s ability to influence the hearts and minds of others (Influence Quotes)
Your ability to negotiate, communicate, influence, and persuade others to do things is absolutely indispensable to everything you accomplish in life (Influence Quotes)
My mother was the influence on me - my father was absent. He was a diamond dealer; he was doing wonderful things in the background, and women were left at home. So my mother really was in charge of everything: the ballet, dance lessons, piano lessons, and latkes (Influence Quotes)
Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority (Influence Quotes)
What makes a narcissistic mother so scary? Her absolute power and controlling influence. A narcissistic mother is your only ‘friend,’ at least until you’re old enough to go to school (Influence Quotes)
Abstract Expressionism - the first American movement to have a worldwide influence - was remarkably short-lived: It heated up after World War II and was all but done for by 1960 (although visit any art school today and you’ll find a would-be Willem de Kooning) (Influence Quotes)
I believe the best influence you can have is not by being preachy, but by trying to live. For example, knowing you’re not perfect, but trying to treat everyone kind and accepting everyone for who they are (Influence Quotes)
The most important influence is all our lives are love. If we’re never taught to love, then showing and accepting love becomes difficult (Influence Quotes)
The cinema has done more for my spiritual life than the church. My ideas of fame, success and beauty all originate from the big screen. Whereas Christian religion is retreating everywhere and losing more and more influence; film has filled the vacuum and supports us with myths and action-controlling images (Influence Quotes)
