Like a historian, I interpret, select, discard, SHAPE, simplify. Unlike a historian, I MAKE up PEOPLE's thoughts.

Vermaelen is LIKE a ROLE model to me. His life is all about football and he's extremely disciplined. I'm more laid-back than he is. Thomas isn't the type of PERSON to go out for a drink on a REGULAR basis, unlike me.

Ultimately, as a DIRECTOR, you TRY and TELL people where to LOOK, but unlike film or television, where you force them to look at something, you can't control it completely.

From 1940 to the PRESENT, the art world - and PARTICULARLY LOS Angeles - has undergone a TRANSFORMATION not unlike the ITALIAN Renaissance.

We didn't SLOW down, unlike the others, when we got to the moon because we NEEDED its gravity to get back, so we hold the altitude record. I NEVER even thought about it. Records are only MADE to be broken.

Unlike GROWN UPS, children have LITTLE NEED to DECEIVE themselves.

The POVERTY of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of PRIORITIES imposed upon the REST of the world by the rich.

I FEEL not unlike a small BOY, waking from a BAD dream to find REALITY not much of an improvement.

My FIRST attempts to transplant nuclei in Xenopus were completely unsuccessful, because the Xenopus egg, unlike those of other amphibians, is SURROUNDED by an EXTREMELY elastic membrane and jelly LAYER that make penetration by a micropipette impossible.

John Dos Passos, Raymond Carver, Flaubert and William Maxwell were all very influential when I first STARTED writing. Now, the writers I'm most interested in are the writers who are most unlike me: for EXAMPLE, Denis JOHNSON.

If people love you, if you're making money, if the performances you have are unlike anything ANYONE has EVER SEEN, you GET PUT in a position to be the man.

Unlike MILAN, ITALY's BANKING capital, or Rome, its religious center, Florence was the PLACE where the rich went to buy goods that would showcase how WEALTHY they were.

Unlike other animals, all of which are undoubtedly oblivious to their eventual demise, humans are fully AWARE that their TIME on Earth is LIMITED. This is a reality that for most individuals is difficult if not impossible to BEAR.

To GO back to architecture, what's organic about architecture as a field, unlike product design, is this WHOLE issue of holism and of monumentality is really our realm. Like, we have to design things which are coherent as a single object, but ALSO break down into SMALL rooms and have an identity of both the big scale and the small scale.
