I am a really impatient person who wants to see many issues fixed with solutions that don't yet exist.
I return to problems i can't solve, not because i am an idiot, but because the real problems can't be solved. The universe is expanding. The more we see, the more we discover there is to see. Always a new beginning, a different end.
I never have been insecure, because I see what a waste it is. I know there is a solution to insecurity. I don't tend to be thrown by problems that don't have solutions. And insecurity has a wealth of alternatives.
Entrepreneurs, by their nature, see not only problems but solutions and opportunities.
Leaders have to see past problems to solutions, and my mother excelled at just that.
I think I can fix the problems in Washington that people desperately want to see fixed.
When I'm actually making a film and trying to find solutions, I like to watch making-of documentaries about huge films, like 'Gladiator.' That couldn't be more apart from what I'm doing, but you see Ridley Scott facing huge problems and fixing them.
Only creativity can see past problems to find solutions. This holds true for every area of life.
I can't see democracy occurring by force - after an Iraqi war, because of the fallout from that.
Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today's problems are a result of yesterday's solutions.
We should be cultivating our female workers. The truth of the matter is that women just see problems and solutions differently, and that's valuable.
You can't marginalize more than half of the globe's population and expect to see any meaningful solutions to the problems that ail the world.
When I say: "I'm looking at you, I can see you", that means: "I can see you because I can't see what is behind you: I see you through the frame I am drawing. I can't see inside you". If I could see you from beneath or from behind, I would be God. I can see you because my back and my sides are blind. One can't even imagine what it would be like to see inside people.
I think the problems with comedians that are political, and there are some brilliant ones, are the ones that offer no solutions. Not that there's a moral obligation for a comic to fix things, but I like to see a comic that's upset about something and offer a solution. It can be a funny solution. I like to see the thought process.
Throughout the country, I see the same design problems and solutions over and over.
I do know that some people believe that I see gender as a "choice" rather than as an essential and firmly fixed sense of self. My view is actually not that. No matter whether one feels one's gendered and sexed reality to be firmly fixed or less so, every person should have the right to determine the legal and linguistic terms of their embodied lives.
