It's always a combination of physics and poetry that I find inspiring. It's hard to wrap your head around things like the Hubble scope.

I've been lucky. I've made films that I really like. It's been a combination of what comes to me and what I choose. I've gone after lots of things that I didn't get pet projects that everybody ends up chasing after. Really you're lucky if you get anything.

Aside from what it teaches you there is simply the indescribable degree of peace that can be achieved on a sailing vessel at sea. I guess a combination of hard work and the seemingly infinite expanse of the sea - the profound solitude - that does it for me.

That was my first lesson from Ben-Gurion. Then I saw him making peace and I saw him making war. He mobilized me before the war. The man was a very rare combination between a real intellectual and a born leader. There is a contradiction between the two.

Patience persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

For instance I'm always fascinated to see whether given the kind of fairly known and established form called popular music whether there is some magic combination that nobody has hit upon before.

For many people managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy acupuncture yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole - their mind body and spirit.

I think I'm a combination of very simple pleasures and the fact I've read a lot of books. I don't think it's a binary opposition across the board in humans and I think I'm an example that it's not. I'm hosting gay marriage rallies and I have tons of guns at home. There's a lot of middle ground in the world and I'm one of those people.

I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.

I'm also interested in the modern suggestion that you can have a combination of love and sex in a marriage - which no previous society has ever believed.

Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one be without the strategy.

What I look for when I see a piece of art for the first time is some kind of emotional intellectual experience that's a combination of both of those things and is informed by my knowledge and something new that I see the artist doing.

There are three principal means of acquiring knowledge... observation of nature reflection and experimentation. Observation collects facts reflection combines them experimentation verifies the result of that combination.

Your personality as the prime minister feeds through to what you emphasise and what you don't how you'll handle a situation - whether you've got the combination of intelligence or instincts to adapt and to make good decisions.

So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear.

For strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.

The combination of landing the biggest interview of my career and having a drill in my back reminds me that God only gives us what we can handle and that it helps to have a good sense of humor when we run smack into the absurdity of life.
