I think Uber is just very different; there's no model to copy. It may be the reason why we've been a lightning rod in so many ways, because we don't do anything conventional... And then I think also, as an entrepreneur, I'm a bit of a lone wolf.

My English teachers gave me a copy of Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale' when I left high school, which has always been very special to me - it was the novel that introduced me to dystopian fiction. I'm also influenced by Edgar Allan Poe, Dickens, John Wyndham and Middle English dream-visions.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't read a lot of magazines, but when I'm traveling, I'll pick up a copy of 'Vanity Fair' to read on the plane - it's like a full meal! The articles are so good, especially the crime stories. Browsing the Web is more like snacking - but I live on snacks.
- Book
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was given a thick paperback copy of the 'Guinness Book of Records' when I was 11 years old, and I read it gluttonously, cover to cover, paying special lip-smacking attention to all the incredibly gruesome chapters about the violence of human history.
- Just
- |

- Journey
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the Sixties, there were no guidebooks to Asia, at least none that suited young shoestring travelers. No one on the hippie highway carried a copy of Fodor's 'Islamic Asia.'

- Nov 07, 2020

- Me

- Nov 07, 2020

- Most
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Perhaps the most versatile and useful plug-in in the collection is Mass Copy. It is certainly the one I use the most. Due to limitations in how plugins can interact with Finale, Mass Copy has a somewhat unusual user interface.
- Own

All the blues greats took chances and developed their own style. They didn't copy.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Before 'Veronica Mars,' I was not, and probably am still not, much of a crime reader. My mom left out a copy of 'Helter Skelter' when I was 10, and I secretly read it, and then I spent all my teenage years afraid of hippies. I kept away from crime books for, like, ten years.
- Doubt
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's no doubt we need stronger antitrust enforcement. We shouldn't allow Amazon to privilege its own products on its platform, and we should make sure they're not using sellers' data, but the E.U. is not a model for America to copy.
- Out
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Whenever I'm asked to autograph a copy of 'Nudge,' the book I wrote with Cass Sunstein, the Harvard law professor, I sign it, 'Nudge for good.' Unfortunately, that is meant as a plea, not an expectation.

- |

- |

For the three years I lived in New York leading up to moving out to Los Angeles for 'Mad Men,' I was an office temp at Ernst & Young in Times Square. That's about as desk-jobby as it can get. There was a lot of, 'Go two floors up and make a copy of this and then bring it to me.'
- Nov 07, 2020

- Pretty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All my movies are copies of Hollywood, some of them pretty trashy copies. All filmmakers copy from Hollywood.
- Pictures
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What teens share online is dwarfed by what they consume. Pre-Internet, you had to hoof it to the grocery store to find a magazine with celebrity bodies - or at least filch your mother's copy from the bathroom. Now the pictures are as endless as they are available.
- Home
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I talk to bankers, distributors, marketing people. I used to sit at home in my tracksuit bottoms, and the real excitement of my day would be going out to get a copy of 'Private Eye' and a latte.
- Guitar
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a guitar player first. So my first hero was Angus Young from AC/DC. I used to copy every move that he did, play every lick that he would. I knew I wanted to be some kind of a rocker, back in the day.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Friend
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There have been times when I reread - or at least leafed through - something because I'd sent a copy to a friend, and what usually happened was that I noticed dozens and dozens of clumsy phrases I wished I could rewrite.
- Geoffrey
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Thomas More's birth was noted by his father upon a blank page at the back of a copy of Geoffrey of Monmouth's 'Historia Regum Britanniae'; for a lawyer John More was remarkably inexact in his references to that natal year, and the date has been moved from 1477 to 1478 and back again.
- Harmony
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Copy, art, and typography should be seen as a living entity; each element integrally related, in harmony with the whole, and essential to the execution of an idea.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not anti-Hollywood; not at all. In fact, I'm rather fascinated by everything that goes on here. When I get hold of a copy of 'Variety,' I read it cover to cover; I love to know what people are doing.
- Start
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
With a computer, you make your changes on the screen and then you print out a clean copy. With a typewriter, you can't get a clean manuscript unless you start again from scratch. It's an incredibly tedious process.

Traditional copyright has been that you can't make a full copy of somebody's work without their permission.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020
Every stylish man should have a copy of 'The Fountainhead' by Ayn Rand on his bookshelf.
- Failure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The promotional cycle's this staging area for failure. I hate it! Why bother when everyone's either gonna steal the album or copy it?
- Ideas
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
So I went out and bought myself a copy of the Writer and Artist Yearbook, bought lots of magazines and got on the phone and talked to editors about ideas for stories. Pretty soon I found myself hired to do interviews and articles and went off and did them.
- Body
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We should find inspiration in the senses that already exist and try to copy them and apply them to us. If we compare our senses to the senses of other animals and species that we don't have, we can get ideas for new abilities that we can adapt to humans by applying cybernetics to the body.
- Parents
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Back when I was growing up, getting caught with a copy of 'Creepy,' 'Eerie' or 'Vampirella' was almost as bad as your parents finding out you were reading 'Playboy.'

- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What happened in the region in the last 30 years is not the Middle East. After the Iranian revolution in 1979, people wanted to copy this model in different countries; one of them is Saudi Arabia. We didn't know how to deal with it. And the problem spread all over the world.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I feel responsible to make something original as a Japanese artist. There are lots of singers and guitarists, but I feel that on stage it's meaningless to copy something someone has done before.
- Hot
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No, because I don't want to hear what's hot and feel I have to copy it. I'll just make up my own thing.
- Difficult
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Somebody had given me a copy of 'Hunky Dory,' which had yet to be a hit, although it was starting to percolate. I'd seen a couple of pictures of David, with his interesting hairdo and outfits, and I decided to seek him out, which wasn't difficult back then, as he was eager to do any kind of publicity.
- Self-Expression
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you copy then it is not self-expression.

- Magazine
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I just saw a copy of a cover of a magazine that I'm on, and it's very weird and unusual.
- High School
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I still have my high school copy of the collected Poe - missing its covers and pretty worse for the wear.
- I Can
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In my home office, I have two large, 30-inch computer monitors - a Mac and a PC. They share the same mouse and keyboard, so I can type or copy and paste between them. I'll typically do Web stuff on the Mac and e-mail and chat stuff on the PC.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'd go to a bookstore, and I'd flip through flap copy, and I'd think, 'If this gal can get published, I can get published.'
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most major races, including the New York City Marathon, require runners to provide photo identification when picking up a bib. Most provide bibs only a few days before the race, shortening the window in which someone could copy a bib.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everyone always gets a little irritated by imitators, but mostly I'm flattered. What if you never did anything anyone wanted to copy?
- Pleasure
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My pleasure was to copy, not to create.
- Today
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Gone are the days when your indiscretions at university were recorded in a roneoed college newsletter of which there is only one copy left tucked in a filing cabinet at the back of a library. Today that same college newsletter is online, accessible by the whole world now and forever.
- Chapel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It would have been the equivalent of Jackson Pollock's attempts to copy the Sistine Chapel.
- King
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a kid, I was trying to copy what I heard. Namely, I was just listening to producers I looked up to, like 45 King and Marley Marl, and trying to do what they were doing.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't keep any copy of my books around... they would embarass me. When I finish writing my books, I kick them in the belly, and have done with them.
- Faithfully
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
And, since the model he faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture, since the picture is going to be there on its own, it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model.
- Faithfully
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Since the model he so faithfully copies is not going to be hung up next to the picture... it is of no interest whether it is an accurate copy of the model.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When '12 Years a Slave' got that much attention, everyone started to copy that. That story has to be told, but there are a lot more stories to be told than slavery.
- Poetry
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The trouble with us in America isn't that the poetry of life has turned to prose, but that it has turned to advertising copy.
- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't smoke, so they never sent me a copy.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My first job out of college was as an editorial assistant in a New York publishing house. Being an editorial assistant is the purgatory would-be editors must endure before they can ascend the ladder and begin acquiring books on their own. I spent a year filing paperwork, writing copy, and typing rejection letters.
- Exactly The Same
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My specialty as a collector is books that almost have value. When I love a book, I don't buy the first edition, because those have become incredibly expensive. But I might buy a beat-up copy of the second edition, third printing, which looks almost exactly the same as the first edition except that a couple of typos have been fixed.
- Imagination
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Reading a hard copy book, and reading a book on an iPad are slightly different experiences. What they both have in common though is that you must engage your imagination in the process.
