Richard Thomas Quotations

If people work together in an open way with porous boundaries - that is, if they listen to each other and really talk to each other - then they are bound to trade ideas that are mutual to each other and be influenced by each other. That mutual influence and open system of working creates collaboration.

I'm one of those weird people that tends to not do the extras and listen to the commentaries and stuff on movies, although I do think they are fascinating and interesting - I'm just so worried that years later I wouldn't remember anything!

I think that that is a wonderful format - you know, having individual stories over a period of weeks that are thematically connected in terms of genre - there's not enough of that out there.

I loved being in the room with Mamet as a director - he is the most generous, funny, delightful person to work for every day.

We're manning up production as much as we can, ... We can only produce so many.

We want to go out with a bang, not a whimper,

China represents an enormous market and opportunity for us, both in terms of our rich online games and mobile applications, as well as our enterprise software solutions and services. Our strong performance in China during the first quarter is a clear indication of our ability to capitalize on the opportunity.

I feel like we sold ourselves a wonderful future. This is just the beginning of a new page in and around the western edge of the panhandle. I think we will get the Joint Strike Fighter.

If the tour had not gone ahead, the result would be that investors and producers would become more and more risk-averse. This is a freedom- of-speech issue.

We've been trying to work with them over the past year and a half, but I guess it was the existence of a building there, and it must have been at a good price, whatever it is, because we tried to be very competitive with our incentives here.

Here we are from Texas and we made it OK driving through all this, and the guy who lives here didn't make it.

Part of their problem is so much of the airport is under construction, they don't want to build a gate only to have to tear it down later. We are trying to work with them on a solution.

Our motto is 'join in and have fun' and we want people to come along and enjoy themselves.

This is a bigger issue than any labor dispute between the company and the Steelworkers. We are committed to ensuring that Giant complies with the law. The health and safety of our members and of the general public will not be traded away at the bargaining table.

These particular unfair labor practices are the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Giant knows very well what's hidden just under the surface here, and it's time for them to change course and start meeting all of their responsibilities under the law.

I'm very shocked at that news. We have had a very good relationship with PGT, and we were talking with them about building a plant here to meet their needs.

I am angry that 60,000 people made a judgment without even bothering to see it.
