Most bands have a sound that they’re already identified with, so for the producer it becomes a process of helping them find their muse in the studio to make a record that will not only satisfy them artistically, but will also do something in the marketplace. – Jerry Harrison
Jury selection is strictly an emotional process. They’re looking for people they can manipulate. Both sides are. – Joseph Wambaugh
The point of an experiment is not to arrive at a predetermined end point, to prove or disprove anything, but to deliver a poem that reveals much about the process taken. – John Barton
The Europe we are in the process of building is the Europe of the 21st century; it’s not the Europe of the 20th century. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin
Intellectuals are good at seeing the big picture. But they are not so good at process. – Michael Ignatieff
The process of open adoption is not discussed in the way it should be. Everyone I know who has adopted domestically has at least one tragic story. It was important to me to be able to describe those situations. – Jennifer Gilmore
The mere process of growing old together will make our slightest acquaintances seem like bosom friends. – Logan Pearsall Smith
My process is I try to learn my lines so they’re so solid I don’t have to think about them or how I’m going to say them. – Josh Pais
My brain kind of works in steps. I have to go through things and then process them and then write about them. I have to understand them first. – Kehlani
Part of the process of acting in a film that you’re also directing is really trusting the people around you to capture your vision, which hopefully you have communicated well to them. – Katie Aselton
I must admit I found it astonishing to watch the candidates below Donald Trump beat up each other and never lay a glove on the front-runner. I mean, when I was running, everybody went after the front-runner and pointed out my weaknesses and foibles, and that’s part of the normal primary process. – Mitt Romney
I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it. – Lucinda Williams
I was spooked when I first got the role, as I was afraid I wouldn’t have the companionship I need on a shoot, because I’m so into the process itself, not so much the end product. – Jacqueline McKenzie
A film is like a mad arranged marriage, with all these people who don’t necessarily want to be with each other forced into this intimate, exhausting process. – Jason Flemyng
The basic parts, the start-up molecules, can be supplied in abundance and don’t have to be made by some elaborate process. That immediately makes things simpler. – K. Eric Drexler

I love the stage, I love the process of acting in theatre, but unfortunately, it doesn’t pay the bills. – Kabir Bedi
I don’t use recurring characters. I do get very interested in my characters while I’m working with them, and I find the process of fitting them into a story, and allowing them to create the story around themselves, fascinating. But no, I don’t imagine they have a life outside of what I make for them. – Jessica Abel
This House cannot function without an open, accountable, and independent ethics process; and the molestation of that process by the majority is an abuse of power that cannot stand. – Louise Slaughter
The masses are in reality their own leaders, dialectically creating their own development process. – Rosa Luxemburg
Of course, I love chats with various actors about the process and how they do it. To me, if it’s not on the camera, if it’s not there, it’s not worth it. It really just isn’t worth it. – Robert Carlyle
When controversial speech can be taken offline through pressures on private intermediaries without any kind of due process, that is something we need to be concerned about. – Rebecca MacKinnon
I realize the voters elected President Obama in 2012, but they also, in 2014, elected enough Republican senators to gain a majority in the Senate, so we control the confirmation process. And these are two supposedly coequal branches of government involved in this filling of a Supreme Court vacancy. – Ron Johnson
When a parasite moves to a new habitat, it can find new hosts through a process called the trans-species jump. Often, the new host has no resistance; it and the parasite haven’t had time to adjust to each other through natural selection (it is frequently not in the best interest of a parasite to kill its host quickly). – Richard Preston
So in the first draft, I’m inventing people and place with a broad schematic idea of what’s going to happen. In the process, of course, I discover all sorts of bigger and more substantial things. – Peter Carey
