I am very quick to judge.
Women decide the larger questions of life correctly and quickly, not because they are lucky guessers, not because they are divinely inspired, not because they practise a magic inherited from savagery, but simply and solely because they have sense. They see at a glance what most men could not see with searchlights and telescopes.... They are the supreme realists of the race.
Intuition is critical in virtually everything you do. But, without relentless preparation and execution, it is meaningless.
The trouble with talking too fast is you may say something you haven't thought of yet.
A lot of critics are lazy. They don't want to look closely and analyze something for what it is. They take a quick first impression and then rush to compare it to something they've seen before.
An executive is one who makes an immediate decision and is sometimes right
People see the wrongness in an idea much quicker that the rightness.
It's very easy to listen to one comment and make a snap judgment.
A lot of people judge others too quickly without actually knowing the full facts or the actual real person.
Where men of judgment creep and feel their way, The positive pronounce without dismay.
There can be as much value in the blink of an eye as in months of rational analysis.
You size up someone physically in less than one second - too tall, too short, too fat, too thin, too old, too young, too stuffy, too scruffy.
I have an image in my mind of what I want, whether it's a light jacket or a one-piece. I can tell if what I want is in the store right away.
It was too vast a problem to be just a personal thing. There should be some help, someone should tell them before it was too late. Someone should tell their side of the story, and maybe people would understand then, and wouldn’t be so quick to judge a boy by the amount of hair oil he wore.
I can now tell from the envelope whether or not it is a good script.
Sometimes I hate a shoe in seconds.
As an actor and a fledgling director, I'm used to making snap decisions that I'll have to live with.
From squalls, jibes, and other sudden calamities, I learned you don't always get to decide when you've got to make a decision.
Those split-second decisions that you can't take back, that's what I need to continue to improve.
I read a lot of scripts, so I know by page 25 if I like it or not.
In the same way that I tend to make up my mind about people within thirty seconds of meeting them, I also make up my mind about whether a business proposal excites me within about thirty seconds of looking at it. I rely far more on gut instinct than researching huge amounts of statistics.
In the legislature promptitude of decision is oftener an evil than a benefit.
I'm not one of those shoppers where I go to a store and I'm like, trying it on, I'm not sure, 'Oh, can you put this on hold?' No. It's either love it or hate it. And it's the same way with scripts. I usually know within the first 10 pages. If I don't latch into it by then, then it's not going to happen.
As human beings, we suffer from an innate tendency to jump to conclusions, to judge people too quickly, and to pronounce them failures or heroes without due consideration.
I've worn so many things, I've tried on so many things...I've spent probably thousand of hours in fittings. I can know so quickly how something's going to feel on me, look on me. It's a pretty fast courtship. I say yes or no pretty quickly.
