I want to do films that will be remembered, not run-of-the-mill stuff where I stand behind looking pretty as a picture.

Ayesha Takia

We do not wish to make multiple films but would rather do a few good projects. No run-of-the-mill stuff for us.

Bhushan Kumar

No one forces me, or any other writer, to sell a film option on the books. If you don't want to run the risk that the filmmakers may adapt your work in a way you don't like, then you don't sell the option. You know when you sell it that they will have to make some changes, just because film and TV are different media than books.

Jeff Abbott

I'm fed up of doing run-of-the-mill stuff.

Raveena Tandon

I'm attracted to things that are different than the average run-of-the-mill stuff.

Jason O'Mara

There's only so much stuff you can buy. I have to retail the stuff. Stuff that's really really weird - it's cool, but who are you going to sell it to? I do collect some stuff. In the end, I have to run a business.

Rick Harrison

Why would I ever want to run Disney? Wouldn't it make more sense just to sell them Pixar and retire?

Steve Jobs

The great philosophers of the past who wrote so beautifully - Rousseau, John Stuart Mill - had to write beautifully because they had to sell their work to journals. They had to sell books to the general public because they could not hold positions in universities. Mill was an atheist, and, therefore, could not hold a position in a university.

Martha C. Nussbaum

Want to change the world? Upset the status quo? This takes more than run-of-the-mill relationships. You need to make people dream the same dream that you do.

Guy Kawasaki

I don't know what I want, but I do know that I don't want the usual stuff, the cliched stuff is just too mind-numbing. They sell, I know, but it makes me sad to know that.

Parvathy

I don't want to be in the spotlight so bad that I'm going to sell my soul, or sell my creativity short.

Donnis

Hollywood movies are run on fear and they don't want to make bold choices. They, generally, speaking want to keep things status quo. That's not really interesting for me.

Kyra Sedgwick

It just kind of continues to be strange and interesting to me to try to understand what other people are looking for. And this also just comes from getting older. You look at the stuff certainly that's coming out of Hollywood these days, and you go, "Did what came out of Hollywood when I was a kid make more sense, or was it just that I was in the demographic then?" But I certainly feel increasingly confused and disconnected from it.

Andrew Bujalski

If it is just another run-of-the-mill show, then what is the point?

Marianne Elliott

But why diminish your soul being run-of-the-mill at something? Mediocrity: now there is ugliness for you. Mediocrity's a hairball coughed up on the Persian carpet of Creation.

Tom Robbins

We sell to businesses who sell other stuff, so we're just going to concentrate on doing that.

Jon Oringer
