A Quote by Louis B. Mayer

Well, do anything, if you do something right, we'll use it, and if you do something wrong, we'll fix it, but do something and do it now. — © Louis B. Mayer
Well, do anything, if you do something right, we'll use it, and if you do something wrong, we'll fix it, but do something and do it now.
I'm a really smart player. If you tell me something, I get it quickly. If there is something wrong with my hitting, tell me what's wrong and I'll pick it up right away. That's the best thing I have going for me, my ability to listen to a coach and fix what I'm doing wrong.
Guilt is always a good thing. If I kick you in the groin right now and don't feel guilty about it there's something wrong with me. Something's wrong with my conscience.
I must tell you that I should really like to think there's something wrong with me- Because, if there isn't, then there's something wrong with the world itself-and that's much more frightening! That would be terrible. So I'd rather believe there is something wrong with me, that could be put right.
You read something and you know it's not there yet. There's a little section here that... this part's good but that is a little not, it doesn't quite work. That doesn't quite work. That's easy. To say, "OK, now, this is what I think will fix it." That's harder. And most people can tell you what's wrong with something. Very few people can say what they would do to fix it.
You know when you're doing something right and when you're doing something wrong. As long as you feel like you're doing something right, and you're getting rewarded, then you're successful. But, if you're judging it on, Well, if I had that, I'd be successful - that doesn't work. I think doing what you love is success. Pretty cheesy. But it's true.
I'm finished with something, but I'm not beginning anything. That's wrong. When you finish something, you ought always to begin something new.
That's why people come to live music, right? To see something go wrong, something human, something vulnerable.
He misses the feeling of creating something out of something. That’s right — something out of something. Because something out of nothing is when you make something up out of thin air, in which case it has no value. Anybody can do that. But something out of something means it was really there the whole time, inside you, and you discover it as part of something new, that’s never happened before.
When something is so damaged or something is just not right, you can't fix it in a moment. The only thing is time.
I tell my daughters, 'If something doesn't feel right, whether that's going to a party, doing a video, shooting something, you're around someone that's creeping you out, use your gut. If you're in a car with a driver and something don't feel right, use your gut.'
Are you a person—with volition and maybe some stubbornness and at least the capacity if not the actual determination to do something surprising—or are you a tool? A tool just serves its user. It’s only as good as the skill of its user, and it’s not good for anything else. So if you want to accomplish something special—something more than you can do for yourself—you can’t use a tool. You have to use a person and hope the surprises will work in your favor. You have to use something that’s free to not be what you had in mind.
If your audience doesn't like something, you should think to yourself, "Well, why don't they like something? Is there something wrong here?" And, if they like something, you should think to yourself, "Why do they like it? What am I doing right here?," and deal with those issues.
I gained over 100 lbs. that I could never lose. My hair was falling out. I was tired all the time. I couldn't maintain muscle. I had no energy. It gave me some relief that there was something actually wrong with me and I wasn't crazy, but it was really hard knowing that there is something wrong with my body and I couldn't fix it.
We must do something to let people in this country know that addiction is something that can be treated and this epidemic of prescribed opioids is something that we can fix.
When I see something that I think isn't right, I think I have some kind of, for right or wrong, an obligation to fix it.
I wanted to tell her that if only something were wrong with my body it would be fine, I would rather have anything wrong with my body than something wrong with my head, but the idea seemed so involved and wearisome that I didn’t say anything. I only burrowed down further in the bed.
