Paulo Freire Quotes

Dealing with the unknown, the unexpected, is a reflection for me musically of what's happening in the world, because people are learning how to dialog with each other without any past strategy or any kind of formula from the past.

Every successful organization has to make the transition from a world defined primarily by repetition to one primarily defined by change. This is the biggest transformation in the structure of how humans work together since the Agricultural Revolution.

I'm a great believer that any tool that enhances communication has profound effects in terms of how people can learn from each other, and how they can achieve the kind of freedoms that they're interested in.

Things change and work changes. Right now I like the idea of enveloping a space and getting messages across that connect to the world in ways that seem familiar but are different.

I think jamming is the way we begin to communicate. In the old days, people actually wrote notes on paper and sent them to each other. I guess that's how they jammed.

I embark upon discussion and argument with great ease and liberty

Talk to people... everything good I've done has come from conversations with people. Science is a very social phenomenon.

CONVERSATION is the vehicle for change.

Take all the rules away. How can we live if we don't change?

They say that structure is freedom, and in a sense it is. When you're dealing with multiple constraints, you have to figure out what you can get out of that.

Music is a dialogue.

If you have something to say then you want someone to pay attention or at least to have the opportunity for them to tell you to shut up and go away.

I love having that creative discussion where, at the end of the day, you both feel better for having done it. Maybe it's a typically Jewish thing, where you sort of go at each other.

Technology has changed the fan/actor interaction quite a bit. Now it's really easy to communicate with a large group of people in a really short time, and that... opens a lot of possibilities. You can do a lot of things with it that you couldn't do before. It's kind of fun to figure out how that can be employed.

Everybody is so busy talking about 'Twittering' and talking about the new technologies and talking about this and that, but they don't talk about creativity.

I'm a talker. I love a good debate.

There is resistance to change. There's a resistance to ideas.

The church must constantly promote dialogue.

Speech is the small change of silence.

If people work together in an open way with porous boundaries - that is, if they listen to each other and really talk to each other - then they are bound to trade ideas that are mutual to each other and be influenced by each other. That mutual influence and open system of working creates collaboration.

The best ideas start as conversations.

Communication is important.

I don't have a great imagination to share something with you that you don't know, so it's about interpreting things - a dialogue.

Just listening and going back and forth and exchanging ideas with people. It's a beautiful thing. This is what's really important.

Communication is the key, and it's one thing I had to learn-to talk to the actors. I was so involved with the visual and technical aspects that I would forget about the actors.
