It all happens together. It`s all a musical unleashing. It`s a way to express your ideas or your visions creatively. I think, as a producer in the film world, a lot more of it is business and dollars; most of the creative stuff gets left out in the dark. I believe that with music, it`s a much more creative flow and process from beginning to end. As an actor, you`re pretty much a hired gun. You are reading other people`s words off of a page and doing what they want you to do. With music, especially when you produce and write it yourself, you get a vision in your head, and that`s exactly what`s going to be there in the final product.
- Corey FeldmanI like to behave in an extremely normal, wholesome manner for the most part in my daily life. Even if mentally I`m consumed with sick visions of violence, terror, sex and death.
- Courtney LoveWho could tell what forms, what visions, what faces, what forgiveness he could see in the glow of the west!
- Joseph ConradCould I have worked under a system where there were Draconian controls on my creativity, meaning budget, time, script choices, etc.? Definitely not. I would have fared poorly under the old studio system that guys like Howard Hawks did so well in. I cannot just make a film and walk away from it. I need that creative intimacy, and quite frankly, the control to execute my visions, on all my projects.
- Michael MannI have these visions of myself being thirty, thirty-five, forty having a family.
- Nastassja KinskiEveryone has these two visions when they hold their child for the first time. The first is your child as an adult saying `I want to thank the Nobel Committee for this award.` The other is `You want fries with that?`
- Robin Williams(On Andrei Tarkovsky): When film is not a document, it is dream. That is why Tarkovsky is the greatest of them all. He moves with such naturalness in the room of dreams. He doesn`t explain. What should he explain anyhow? He is a spectator, capable of staging his visions in the most unwieldy but, in a way, the most willing of media. All my life I have hammered on the doors of the rooms in which he moves so naturally. Only a few times have I managed to creep inside. Most of my conscious efforts have ended in embarrassing failure- The Serpent`s Egg (1977), Beröringen (1971), Ansikte mot ansikte (1976) and so on.
- Ingmar BergmanThe arts give us our identity as a community; they also draw new people, fresh visions, and renewable economic opportunity to our community.
- Gavin NewsomI`m always looking to create new avenues or new visions of music.
- Herbie HancockI wish to sing of my interior visions with the naive candour of a child.
- Claude DebussyI try to avoid long-range plans and visions - that way I can more easily deal with anything new that comes up.
- Linus TorvaldsThe decision we will make, ... is not between right and wrong, or a good approach and a bad approach. It`s certainly not between a worthy idea or a not worthy idea. It`s a difference in honorable visions of our state.
- John AndrewsFor visions come not to polluted eyes.
- Adam RothbergWhat ordinary men are directly aware of and what they try to do are bounded by the private orbits in which they live; their visions and their powers are limited.
- Alan BartonInstant telecommunication allows better and updated information, lessons learnt and problems encountered to be exchanged and debated, it alerts us more quickly to problems and brings to many households around the world visions and information which hopefully spur us to action.
- Alan BuddendeckIf art has a purpose, it is to interpret life, reproduce it in fresh visions.
- Alan ConnieI have been blessed to see visions of eternity; and events in my future that have been important for me to foresee, have been revealed to me.
- Alan LevyIllusions of grandeur are not the same as visions of greatness.
- Alberto BernalI like to feel that all my best photographs had strong personal visions and that a photograph that doesn`t have a personal vision or doesn`t communicate emotion fails.
- Alex GrossmanVisions describe what best should be, could be - if and when mankind has the will to make them real.
- Alfredo D'InnocenzoEighty percent of what everyone`s talking about never happens. I don`t mean in terms of product development that`s happening right now, I`m talking about the far-flung visions of the future.
- Ali DakkakSo that we focus not on competing visions for Europe but on what Europe can do to improve economic growth, to give us a cleaner environment, to create more jobs, to make us more secure.
- Alison MauThe genius of America is that we are still a land of undiscovered shores, and we are at our best when we open our hearts and allow the night winds to bring renewed visions of great deeds.
- Amy GroutIndividuals approaching death often experience encounters with their dead relatives, who seem to welcome them to the next world. These deathbed visions are authentic and convincing; they are often followed by a state of euphoria and seem to ease the transition.
- Andreas CapellanusThen the sessions will get a little more challenging. Until then, it wouldn`t be fair for us to explore what visions they would have in leading Mercer as president. They don`t know Mercer very well. This first session is more of a getting-acquainted session.
- Angela King(Professionals also have taken cracks at the topic. ) Cartoonists hit the mother lode with this one, ... Giant bugs blend with images of doomsday cultists and visions of the apocalypse.
- Anthony La GigliaThe ultimate function of prophecy is not to tell the future, but to make it. Your successful past will block your visions of the future.
- Art FettigOur respective governments have very different visions for the hemisphere.
- Barbarah RodriguezFilled with mingled cream and amber I will drain that glass again. Such hilarious visions clamber Through the chambers of my brain -- Quaintest thoughts -- queerest fancies Come to life and fade away; Who cares how time advances? I am drinking ale today.
- Edgar Allan PoeIt is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously.
- Henry Louis MenckenThe life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
