John F. KennedyYou know, you can only lead them from behind.
Nelson MandelaThe amount of trust and bandwidth that you build up working with someone for five, seven, 10 years? It’s just awesome. I care about openness and connectedness in a global sense.
Mark Zuckerberg‚Two Voices,‘ from my album with Peter Schwalm, is an intact dream-poem. I awoke one night with an image of a piece of paper and all the words of the poem written on it, so I just blundered down to the kitchen table and ‚copied it out.‘
Brian EnoThere’s been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I’ve always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.
Dolly PartonI think if I did something in the pop world right now, it would be for Rihanna. I’d love to do something production wise for her.

Nipsey HussleEventually, it came to this place like, ‚I’d like to direct, but I need to find the story to tell.‘ ‚Man of Tai Chi‘ became the story to tell.

Dolly PartonHackathons are these things where just all of the Facebook engineers get together and stay up all night building things. And, I mean, usually at these hackathons, I code too, just alongside everyone.
Mark ZuckerbergCompetition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off.

Helen KellerI used to sing songs and write with my uncle, Bill Owens.

Bad BunnyWe allow no geniuses around our Studio.
Walt DisneySurround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard.
Colin PowellIt’s hard work making movies. It’s like being a doctor: you work long hours, very hard hours, and it’s emotional, tense work. If you don’t really love it, then it ain’t worth it.
George LucasI have a good team. It’s good to have a good team.
The WeekndI realized why directors are such horrible people – in a way – because you want things to be right, and people will just not listen to you, and there is no time to be nice to people, no time to be delicate.
George LucasEvery movie I make teaches me something. That’s why I keep making them.
Clint EastwoodYou just don’t know when you get in the editing room what you will need as a link or a tool for a transition. If you’re in a room, and there’s a kettle boiling, get a shot of it. Don’t worry if people think you’re nuts.
Angelina JolieIf my films don’t show a profit, I know I’m doing something right.
Woody AllenDr. Karel Culik is an outstanding applied mathematician, a specialist in algebra, logic, computer sciences and mathematical linguistics. In 1965, he visited the linguistics research program at MIT, and we have worked together on several projects since.
Noam ChomskyI like the anonymity that directors can have about their films.

Stephen CoveyWorking with a lot of people at the same time is a task. I really like making stuff and getting stuff done. One of the things I really liked about Facebook was that I could always move so quickly. I wrote the original application in, like, nine days at the end of January.
Mark ZuckerbergWhen I was making ‚Star Wars,‘ I wasn’t restrained by any kind of science. I simply said, ‚I’m going to create a world that’s fun and interesting, makes sense, and seems to have a reality to it.‘
George LucasI like to work with artists from around the world. There are so many new inspiring filmmakers.
Angelina JolieThe lessons from the peace process are clear; whatever life throws at us, our individual responses will be all the stronger for working together and sharing the load.
Queen Elizabeth IIIt is totally different making films in the East than in the West. In the East, I make my own Jackie Chan films, and it’s like my family. Sometimes I pick up the camera because I choreograph all the fighting scenes, even when I’m not fighting. I don’t have my own chair. I just sit on the set with everybody.
Jackie ChanEvery time I see high-trust cultures, I see a lessening of adversarialism.
Stephen CoveyWhen love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.
John RuskinThe Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.
Barack ObamaThe PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.
Bill GatesThings must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.
Benjamin DisraeliEvery time I make American film I just trust American directors and American writers.
Jackie ChanAnd of course to work with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, and work with a wonderful, beautiful script directed by Nancy Meyers, it was really for me a dream come true.
Keanu ReevesEvery collaboration helps you grow. With Bowie, it’s different every time. I know how to create settings, unusual aural environments. That inspires him. He’s very quick.
Brian EnoOur best thoughts come from others.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWriting a song is so personal. You have to have trust in someone you’re working with; otherwise, you’re not gonna come out with something that’s really you.
Billie EilishThe Moon Village concept has a nice property in that it basically just says, ‚Look, everybody builds their own lunar outpost, but let’s do it close to each other.‘ That way… you can go over to the European Union lunar outpost and say, ‚I’m out of eggs. What have you got?‘
Jeff BezosIn America there’s no way I can make the kind of movie I like to make.
Jackie ChanI think if you make a good movie, people walk away arguing.

Brian TracyThe world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
Robert FrostThere’s people constantly asking you for something on set, so the multi-tasking of motherhood transfers very well to being a director. And I think you’re compassionate.
Angelina JolieWe are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.
George Bernard ShawIf you’re going to change things, you have to be with the people who hold the levers.
