PLAGIARIZE, v. To take the thought or style of another writer whom one has never, never read.
We haven't really gotten the credit for what we have done.
I would gather information and have to give it to somebody else and not get the byline.
I've never gotten enough credit!
A lot of people don't know what I do. In the industry they take credit for work because to some degree it makes them feel worthy or greater. I am not a ghostwriter 'cause it is on the CD covers who wrote and did what but people don't care about anything they can't see. The work gets unnoticed and the credibility goes untouched.
I want to create the largest-ever participatory art project and highlight the concept of Shadow Philanthropy, where people help others create work without taking credit for it - through this we can really change the world.
I always said if a man would have done half the records that I've done, we would know about it. But we don't know all the records I've done for other artists.
Merlin is the unsung hero who is often responsible for things turning out positively, but rarely gets credit for that.
I did six internships, even though I was only allowed to do one. I had a paper with my advisor's signature on it that I would just forward for every new internship. I didn't get school credit, but I got away with giving free labor to everyone.
I have been robbed of three million dollars all told. Everyone today is playing my stuff and I don't even get credit. Kansas City style, Chicago style, New Orleans style hell, they're all Jelly Roll style.
Even in the civil rights movement, there were so many unbelievable women. They never, ever received the credit that they should have received. They did all of the, and I cannot say it, they did all of the dirty work. Hard work.
There are always tons of names on a movie of people that didn't actually do anything on that film. I feel bad for the people that busted their ass because they get the same credit as someone who did nothing. It's kind of a weird thing.
I have years of saying ideas that are not listened to. Then, weeks after, of producers finding out that I was right when some other guy comes in and says it. Sometimes I just tell my idea to my editor or to some other guy with maybe gray hair to share it, and then it's brilliant!
I feel I don't get credit enough for it, the pioneering I did in comedy.
Some people don't realize that I did most of the 'Deadmans.' People don't know that I wrote two 'Spectres.'
For years I was doing the excruciating weightlifting of writing scripts - but then I stayed thin and someone else got all the muscles.
So what I do is supervise the boarding process trying to get the shows the way I'd like them to be. And in some cases I've completely redone a board myself even though I'm not credited for it.
They tell me I produced songs. I just stood in the back, wore a good suit and said, Yeah, that's happening.
Some guys lay their fannies out there every night - they play the game at such a high level, and they give so much that, frankly, they don't get credit for it. And I think it's tragic sometimes.
Originality, I fear, is too often only undetected and frequently unconscious plagiarism.
