The big problem in translating is that we had to translate the language. People may not know that we record the podcast in Japanese, translate it to English and then actors play us on the podcast. I'm not actually Scott Aukerman, I'm the actor who plays his voice on the podcast. Unfortunately, it's cost prohibitive on a television show.

Scott Aukerman

Something that is very difficult to translate is the humor.

Luis Negron

Don't tell me this is a difficult problem. If it weren't difficult, it wouldn't be a problem.

Ed Koch

When you are solving a difficult problem re-ask the problem so that your solution helps you learn faster. Find a faster way to fail, recover, and try again. If the problem you are trying to solve involves creating a magnum opus, you are solving the wrong problem.

I have a problem with writer/directors, personal. I can't work well with both of them on the set, if both of them are giving instructions. Writers tend to be in love with what they wrote. You can't always translate the words into the meaning, sometimes the meaning is better served without the words, difficult to make a writer to try to understand that. It gets, sometimes, tense.

The problem isn't being a woman, and the problem isn't being Black; the problem is the people out there making it difficult for us - the patriarchy, the racism.

Wunmi Mosaku

If you happen to fall in love with someone in another race, it's more difficult, because you have to translate yourself.

Maya Angelou

Since I have that edgy, rocker-tomboy kind of vibe, it can be very difficult to translate my style for the red carpet.

Shenae Grimes

I don't read in Chinese very well. Google Translate helps with that. It's cool that I can upload a photo and translate the text from it.

Jimmy O. Yang

We all have the problem of what do you do with the not-guilty-yet in free and democratic societies where you have the presumption of innocence. It's a very difficult problem.

Ron Johnson

If you procrastinate when faced with a big difficult problem... break the problem into parts, and handle one part at a time.

Robert Collier

All Boston songs are fairly difficult to translate to the stage. None of them are especially easy to play or sing. A lot of them, of course, have very involved arrangements with lots of different sounds and sections that are difficult to play and sing. The prospect of doing any Boston song live is always an endeavor in itself.

It is impossible to translate poetry. Can you translate music?

Voltaire

It is as impossible to translate poetry as it is to translate music.

Voltaire

In the attempt to make scientific discoveries, every problem is an opportunity — and the more difficult the problem, the greater will be the importance of its solution.
