A Quote by Benmont Tench

I think that with Bob Dylan around, we're living in an era where we have Whitman presenting new work, we have Dickens presenting new work, we have Yeats and Shakespeare presenting new work. It's that level.

I sincerely believe that for the New York theatre to remain relevant, all our major producing institutions should be presenting new American plays.

Theresa Rebeck

I think I'm the oldest new Bob Dylan around. I predate Bruce Springsteen, Steve Forbat and John Prine. I was probably the first of the new Bob Dylans.

Loudon Wainwright III

Presenting statues of honor to reporters for covering an earthquake is like presenting a first prize to a doctor for performing surgery.

Phil Donahue

Much of the image of the amazingness of America comes from the movies into other cultures. And it's much the same thing when you reverse it. Much of Africa is presented through poverty, through drought and war. [But] you're not presenting people, you're not presenting countries, you're not presenting complexity, and so people can't care about an amorphous mass called Africa.

Chris Abani

Great art is not a matter of presenting one side or another, but presenting a picture so full of the contradictions, tragedies, [and] insights of the period that the impact is at once disturbing and satisfying.

Pauli Murray

I think accurately presenting a trans character means not presenting them as perfect - I think there's been a pressure to do this with trans characters. They can have no flaws because they must represent the entire trans community.

Nicole Maines

I think, for young people, and I think, for women, it's great to work in new products and derivatives products because, if you work in a plain-vanilla product, it's going to take you decades to get to a level where other people are. If you work in a brand new business, no one is more experienced than you are.

We like to challenge ourselves, and having new material and presenting it to the world is fun and exciting and fresh.

Robert Trujillo

If you work on a new product launch, spent time in a new geography, or work to develop a completely new skill, you have no choice but to figure out new ways to solve problems.

Scott D. Anthony

Dickens's final book, 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood,' forms the jumping-off point for my new novel, 'The Last Dickens'. This last work by Dickens has very little social commentary and a pretty tightly efficient storyline and cast of characters. Not necessarily what we think of when we think what characterizes Dickens.

Matthew Pearl

If I ever meet a writer or a painter, I don't presuppose that they are like the work they are presenting.

PJ Harvey

I'd like to break some new ground, maybe in TV presenting, rather than just be an actress.

Cherie Lunghi

I think that no matter what you do, whether you rodeo, whether you work in an office, you work in the oilfield or you play music for a living, eventually if you do enough of it, the devil in the back of your head tries to turn it into work. You have to find new ways to make it new and make it exciting to keep that drive there.

Cody Johnson

If you're a director presenting a new idea, and the person who can judge whether or not it goes ahead is in the room, that makes you somewhat defensive.

Edwin Catmull

Subjectivity is an ability, the capacity to use a new inner mode of presenting the fact that you currently know something to yourself.

Thomas Metzinger

Every time I attend an FBI graduation for new agents or new analysts at Quantico, a significant number of those graduates are former state and local officers, and I have the privilege of shaking their hands, presenting them with their credentials, and welcoming them to the FBI family.
