To tell you the truth, there are all these websites predicting my early death, and it’s starting to work on me! Picture Quote #1

You should expect little or nothing from Wall Street stock pickers who hope to be more accurate than the market in predicting the future of prices. And you should not expect much from pundits making long-term forecasts Picture Quote #1

Every cancer looks different. Every cancer has similarities to other cancers. And were trying to milk those differences and similarities to do a better job of predicting how things are going to work out and making new drugs Picture Quote #1

Science is a little bit more than a wonderful way of modelling and predicting; its a wonderful technical abstraction. I think science is a really wonderful technical abstraction Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you have intuitive insight about how you think things are going to be, and you write that. Other times you fantasize completely, which has nothing to do with predicting the future Picture Quote #1

Insofar as international law is observed, it provides us with stability and order and with a means of predicting the behavior of those with whom we have reciprocal legal obligations Picture Quote #1

The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed Picture Quote #1

The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed Picture Quote #1

In psychology, there’s something called the broken-leg problem. A statistical formula may be highly successful in predicting whether or not a person will go to a movie in the next week. But someone who knows that this person is laid up with a broken leg will beat the formula. No formula can take into account the infinite range of such exceptional events Picture Quote #1

The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed Picture Quote #1

To regard one’s immortality as an exchange of matter is as strange as predicting the future of a violin case once the expensive violin it held has broken and lost its worth Picture Quote #1

People have been predicting the death of television for 20 years now, and so far it’s been entirely wrong. But it does seem viewership habits are starting to change Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I’ve had any great success in predicting politics or social change, nor have I really tried Picture Quote #1

The energy of college football rivals that of a live performance for me. I am an extremely analytical guy and predicting these games is right up my alley, especially with a little luck thrown in. It is even more fun when I am winning and I have to say, I have fared quite well in my predictions Picture Quote #1

Predicting what content is going to fly is like looking into a crystal ball. I try not to say, ‘Yeah, ‘Bridesmaids’ opened the door to make more movies about women.’ I mean, did it? I don’t know; where are they? Picture Quote #1

Methods for predicting the future: 1) read horoscopes, tea leaves, tarot cards, or crystal balls . . . collectively known as nutty methods; 2) put well-researched facts into sophisticated computer . . . commonly referred to as a complete waste of time Picture Quote #1

So, regarding the time frame, I’m only too willing to admit that my crystal ball, like everybody else’s, is cracked. If I could predict precisely, I would have started predicting the stock market and would now be living with a bunch of young women on Bora Bora, having bought it Picture Quote #1

I think I do have a way of predicting - not always accurately - what is a nerve-wracking day for actors, what may be a difficult scene or a difficult moment, how small - and it may be down to one line - a thing maybe that is upsetting or undermining a performance Picture Quote #1
