Scale is very, very important, like the scale of a person is very important. It's to do with the size of our space, the fact they are big sculptures, they are still human scale.

Anthony Caro

The main source of my income is through the commissions of the large-scale works and big sculptures, the projects.

Andy Goldsworthy

I went through that stage every teenager goes through: Who am I? What am I? Where do I fit in? In my case I had to deal with newspapers saying I looked fat or tired or my hair was a mess. People always criticize: they either love you, or they don't. But you have to block that out and concentrate on the work. And I feel I am doing good work, and I'm finally getting to see who I really am.

LeAnn Rimes

When e-commerce companies build scale, cost comes down. Companies that can handle scale and reduce costs over time will win. Margins will come from reducing costs over time and not by increasing prices. Technology is the answer at large scale.

Sachin Bansal

I am often asked by would-be entrepreneurs seeking escape from life within huge corporate structures, ‘How do I build a small firm for myself?’ The answer seems obvious: Buy a very large one and just wait.

Paul Ormerod

My personality resembles my designs to a large extent. I'm in sync with myself and I'm transparent, just like my designs.

Elie Saab

The size thing is not some gimmick or attention-getting trick but a genuine undercurrent of the work. Frank Gehry for instance likes to imagine his buildings as sculptures. I like to imagine my sculptures as architectural.

Michael Heizer

We control the world basically because we are the only animals that can cooperate flexibly in very large numbers. And if you examine any large-scale human cooperation, you will always find that it is based on some fiction like the nation, like money, like human rights.

Yuval Noah Harari

I'm trying to break down preconceptions about what pop music is.

Lindsey Buckingham

Everything that can be found in the universe on a large scale is reflected in a human being on a small scale.

Franz Bardon

We understand how to build and manage businesses that involve technology, engineering, and people at a large scale on a global platform.

Azim Premji

The farmers markets were another step to giving people an opportunity to take more power over their own lives-and also to provide another outlet for organic produce. That is important because the production and distribution of food is increasingly being monopolized and controlled by large corporate structures, large financial structures.

Jerry Brown

I am not a performer but occasionally I deliberately work in a public context. Some sculptures need the movement of people around them to work.

Andy Goldsworthy

It's difficult to build services that are supposed to scale to, you know, 30, 50, 100 million users right off the bat because they got to be kind of tailored down; by definition, they have to be a little bit generic to speak to that large of an audience.

Dennis Crowley

If you give anybody the chance, they can always make a decent human being out of themselves. It's the people that don't have a chance, that we look down at like they're monsters or they're animals or that they want something different than the rest of us.

Ice Cube

What I have always loved about modelling is the chance to play a part. I am quite shy naturally, but I like getting into somebody else's head space, understanding how people work and the psychology behind their actions.

Liberty Ross
