Many in Taiwan believe that Hu Jintao is much more sophisticated than his predecessors in understanding Taiwan. He represents a different generation of leaders, more pragmatic, less ideological.

Now that I can edit the whole thing on AVID and edit the whole thing on tape, maybe I will do the next digitally, because maybe the quality will become less obvious between tape and...

Less is more! I don’t wear makeup if I don’t have to.

Prince William looks good in uniform and Man-at-Hackett black and white tie (he has grown up wearing it constantly); less certain in his suits, which sometimes look borderline archaic; and variable in casual. But completely...

He has all those different aspects to him, so I can more or less decide as a performer how I’m going to deliver a line in a particular scene, or play a particular scene in...

My memory is not even what most people’s is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this.

Moral power is probably best when it is not used. The less you use it the more you have.

The fact is that daytime television is less valued than nighttime, and it’s partly because of the product that we produce. We do a one-hour show in 12 hours. Nighttime produces a one-hour show in...

So many stars lose their way, and with success become more neurotic, not less so.

For me it was just more important to get the cancer out. With the double mastectomy I now have less than one per cent chance of getting it back, otherwise it was 20, 30 or...

I don’t need to be a frontman all the time, and in fact, the older I get, the less of an urge it is inside me to play that role. I’ve still got it inside...

If a person plays dissonance long enough, it will sound like consonance. It’s a language that was alien and then it’s less and less alien as it continues to live.

Life has changed. People have changed. They are more forgiving, less inclined to rush to judgment. And I have changed.

Definition of an independent film is torture with less money and time.

The average married man lives two thousand and five days longer than his single counterpart, albeit with less reason.

In China anything less than 6% growth is a recession meaning that it also causes financial problems and it’s disruptive and it’s a problem.

I have found that I get a better reaction from people once I am less bothered about their reaction.

No author has created with less emphasis such pathetic characters as Chekhov has.

I’m not sure it’s a better music world of appreciation and performance. I think the listener is a different guy, and listening is something he does in passing, with other stuff going on. There’s less...

Let us invest less and less in war and tax cuts for the richest 1 percent, and more and more in jobs and schools for the other 99 percent.

Television broadcasts have, in the main, been more suggestive, less specific, more distant in their images than the print press: often you knew that lump was a dead body only because a chattering reporter told...

Don’t go in for the “yellowish” if what you need is “yellow”. The attitude called precision is the quality that remarks the accuracy of your demand. Never settle for the less; Go for the exact...

If we were the problem, it would be very convenient – kick Greece out, everything’s fine. What would happen to Spain, what about Portugal, what about Italy, what about the whole of the euro zone?...

I’m not critic-proof, and I still take it personally, but I take it less personally now.

Sponsored stories are not a great way to monetize mobile traffic. The phone is way more of a publishing tool than a reading tool. The attention users pay to the streams on mobile is far...

Nothing is more valuable to people than health care, and by paying, they feel less like beggars and more like ‘customers’ who can and should demand quality care.

A lot of filmmakers from my generation were lucky enough to have their work more or less perpetuated by people who saw them originally on TV and on HBO and certainly on home video.

The Republicans have lost their standards; they’ve lost their principles… Really, that’s why the machine in the Republican Party is fighting against me… They have never really gone along with lower taxes and less government.

In the studios days, the public’s perception of movie stars was much different, because the stars were so much less exposed. This made them seem more special, more unearthly. Today they’re no longer perceived as...

My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer; less fun and less money.

There’s less critical thinking going on in this country on a Main Street level – forget about the media – than ever before. We’ve never needed people to think more critically than now, and they’ve...

Our time is so specialised that we have people who know more and more or less and less.

I think that it is important for people to understand that whether a good-guy or a bad-guy wins a case is less important than what the law is that the case results in.

The bad guys probably get the better lines, don’t they? And they wear less spandex. That would be quite good.

Another cause of change, one less noticeable but fundamental, is the modern growth of population closely connected with scientific and medical discoveries. It is interesting that the United Nations has set up a special Commission...

I couldn’t care less about sex unless I meet someone who I think is wonderful.

I keep telling myself to calm down, to take less of an interest in things and not to get so excited, but I still care a lot about liberty, freedom of speech and expression, and...

In live-action, writing, production, and editing happen in discrete stages. In animation, they overlap – happening simultaneously. This allows a real dialogue to occur between the writer, the director, the actors, and the editor, and...

The paintings may communicate even better because people are lazy and they can look at a painting with less effort than they can read a poem.

In my own home, where I’ve been able to create an environment that works for me, I’m hardly disabled at all. I still have an impairment, and there are obviously some very restrictive things about...

Less is a bore.

I think being a mum gives you extra qualities. I’m more feisty, fiercely protective and less selfish. The main trait I want to instill in my kids is kindness. I think it’s the most important...

Egypt does not possess rich natural resources. Its agricultural area is relatively small – less than 10 per cent of the total land. Its growth relies on tourism, Suez Canal tariffs, and foreign investment.

Influence is like a savings account. The less you use it, the more you’ve got.

I would also certainly continue to keep loan repayment interest rates as low as possible. And I would spread the financial aid a little less thinly across all income brackets.

You empower ignorance if you as teacher hide yourself among the students because you know less and give less… Don’t hide your identity, make it a reality!

Don’t regret your mistakes. You’ll always make mistakes. The better you are, the less mistakes you make. The only way to get better is to thoroughly analyze your mistakes.

You do not build your own houses, nor make your own garments, nor bake your own bread, simply because you know that if you were to attempt all these things they would all be more...

The older I get, the more open-minded I get, the less judgmental I get.

We owe our big brains less to inventiveness than to conflicts of interest among social minds engaged in an arms race to be the best at manipulating others.
