I have done many movies that people hadn’t seen. ‘The Fountain,’ I spent a year on that. ‘The Prestige’ with Chris Nolan, and ‘Australia.’ From my perspective it’s very satisfying. Some movies people see and other movies they don’t. ‘Wolverine,’ ‘X Men,’ I know that in some level people know me just for that and it’s fine for me. – Hugh Jackman
I have a lot of mirrors around my house, not because I like to look at myself, but because I like the light and perspective they bring to a room. – Hayley Mills

My perspective is this: my allegiance is to the best product for my needs. For a computer, this means Macintosh. For phone and tablet, this means Android. – Guy Kawasaki
I think that one of the things that I can do is I seem to have the ability to zoom in super tight for very small details, but then jump back for sort of that big picture perspective. And I think that ultimately, that’s one of my strengths, because you have – every detail matters. – Henry Selick
From a scientific perspective there is some indication that a nuclear war could deplete the earth’s ozone layer or, less likely, could bring on a new Ice Age – but there is no suggestion that either the created order or mankind would be destroyed in the process. – Herman Kahn

For my first three books the setting (or place if you will) has always been a given – N.J. and the Dominican Republic and some N.Y.C. – so from one perspective you could say that the place in my work always comes first. – Junot Diaz
I don’t teach literature from my perspective as ‘Joyce Carol Oates.’ I try to teach fiction from the perspective of each writer. If I’m teaching a story by Hemingway, my endeavor is to present the story that Hemingway wrote in its fullest realization. – Joyce Carol Oates
I always loved designing, but the context needs to be right, and have a positive perspective. – Hedi Slimane
