• Para conseguir que la gente experimente más y asuma más riesgos, hay al menos tres cosas que me vienen inmediatamente a la cabeza. La primera, por supuesto, es dar ejemplo. En segundo lugar, cuando la gente asume riesgos inteligentes y no les sale bien, no hay que dispararles. Y número tres, ser honesto con uno mismo. Si la cultura que tienes es radicalmente diferente de una cultura de experimentación y riesgo, entonces tienes que hacer un gran cambio, y ningún pequeño truco lo hará por ti.

• When the photographer Philippe Halsman said, 'Jump,' no one asked how high. People simply pushed off or leapt up to the extent that physical ability and personal decorum allowed. In that airborne instant Mr. Halsman clicked the shutter. He called his method jumpology.
  The idea of having people jump for the camera can seem like a gimmick, but it is telling that jumpology shares a few syllables with psychology. As Halsman, who died in 1979, said, 'When you ask a person to jump, his attention is mostly directed toward the act of jumping, and the mask falls, so that the real person appears.'

• Most robotic vacuum cleaners don't see their environment, have little suction, and don't clean properly. They are gimmicks. We've been developing a unique 360 vision system that lets our robot see where it is, where it has been, and where it is yet to clean. Vision, combined with our high speed digital motor and cyclone technology, is the key to achieving a high performing robot vacuum - a genuine labor saving device.

• Pienso en el medio como un medio de persona a persona, no de cámara a persona, ni de dirección a persona, ni de guionistas a persona, sino de persona a persona. No se les puede involucrar con trucos, con puestas de sol, con cámaras de mano, tomas con zoom o cualquier otra cosa. Esas cosas no les importan. Pero si les das algo por lo que preocuparse, alguna persona por la que preocuparse y que les importe, los tienes, los tienes implicados.

• Theory and knowledge remain suspect, not because of inherent worthlessness, but because of their historic isolation from action. Without theoretical orientation, however, action is vulnerable to oversimplified and glib imitativeness-even mimicry-and to the use of the gimmick.

• There is this tendency to think that if you could only find the magic way, then you could become a poet. "Tell me how to become a poet. Tell me what to do." . . . What makes you a poet is a gift for language, an ability to see into the heart of things, and an ability to deal with important unconscious material. When all these things come together, you're a poet. But there isn't one little gimmick that makes you a poet. There isn't any formula for it.

• Los estudiantes no necesitan que se les etiquete ni se les mida más de lo que lo hacen. No necesitan más fondos federales, subvenciones ni trucos.

• I'm always surprised when anything about the band connects. But I love the fact that it's hard for people to understand. We've said before that it's always been a great thing to get certain people to go away thinking, 'Oh dear, she can't play the drums!' 'Fine, if you think it's all a gimmick, go away!' It weeds out people who wouldn't care anyway.

• The mass media causes sexual misdirection: It prompts us to need something deeper than what we want. This is why Woody Allen has made nebbish guys cool; he makes people assume there is something profound about having a relationship based on witty conversation and intellectual discourse. There isn't. It's just another gimmick, and it's no different than wanting to be with someone because they're thin or rich or the former lead singer of Whiskeytown.
