Research Quotes

One of the striking things about doing research on Malcolm X, and I believe that most Malcolm X researchers could tell you their own stories, is that there’s this paradox of the absence of critical information Picture Quote #1

One of the more interesting challenges I face when doing research for my novels is to trace the lives of women who are vital to the narrative and try my best to give them back their voices Picture Quote #1

What I’ve found in doing research is that men want a relationship that feels fun. In other words, they want a relationship that has qualities or elements of their same-sex relationships - just like women do, too Picture Quote #1

Many studies of research scientists have shown that achievement (at least below the genius level of an Einstein, Bohr, or a Planck) depends less on ability in doing research than on the courage to go after opportunity Picture Quote #1

While I was thinking about that, the military, I read a book called On Killing, about the obstacles people have to pulling the trigger in combat. So sometimes you just absorb all this stuff without realizing you were doing research Picture Quote #1

The entirety of ‘Bellocq’s Ophelia’ was a project, and I was interested in doing research and looking at photographs and writing about them, imagining this woman Ophelia and what her life was like and the kinds of things she thought about Picture Quote #1

I’ve never liked the idea of just having an office in a college somewhere and teaching classes and going to the library and doing research all day. I’ve never wanted that. The glamorous life is the life that appeals to me Picture Quote #1

Research can be interesting, but it can be pointless as well. The realities of making a movie often are not conducive with that. I’m not knocking it. I love doing research myself, but I admit it doesn’t always add to the performance Picture Quote #1

When it comes to sermon writing, generally there are two problems. Some preachers love the research stage but hate the writing, and they start writing too late. Others don’t like doing research, so they move way too fast to the writing part Picture Quote #1

Basically, I’m not interested in doing research and I never have been . . . I’m interested in understanding, which is quite a different thing. And often to understand something you have to work it out yourself because no one else has done it Picture Quote #1

That is the difference between St. Jude’s and all other children’s hospitals. The other hospitals are not bad at all; they’re good hospitals, but they’re just working with what they know, and St. Jude’s is working with what nobody else knows, because they’re doing research Picture Quote #1

I’ve had investigations of my lab because people didn’t like what I had to say. And when you have investigations and you’re doing research, you’re shut down for a while. You have to start all over again. So that’s one area where I paid a high price Picture Quote #1

You can’t imagine how much detail we know about brains. There were 28,000 people who went to the neuroscience conference this year, and every one of them is doing research in brains. A lot of data. But there’s no theory. There’s a little, wimpy box on top there Picture Quote #1

What I saw when I was doing research is that in pursuit of a middle ground, people will kind of split the difference between the two extremes that they’re hearing. And I think what’s problematic is that people are seeing vaccinating on schedule, on time, as an extreme position Picture Quote #1

It’s important to do research. I do that in every play, every actor does Picture Quote #1

I’m big on research. I love research, so I tend to do a lot of reading Picture Quote #1

You don’t go to the movies to do historical research, unless it’s historical research about the movies Picture Quote #1

Fundamental research is needed to make progress, which you cannot do solely by copying others. If you only do applied research, you quickly lose creativity Picture Quote #1

As an actor, you’re used to putting on characters, taking them off, becoming someone else, doing your research, and working on that Picture Quote #1

I automate some tasks and delegate many others. Doing research, job organization, data processing, field surveys, and plan preparation can be tedious, detailed work Picture Quote #1

I’m publicizing the book that’s done. I’m writing the book that’s in the hopper, and I’m doing a little advance research on the book to come Picture Quote #1

Every show you do, you have to do research, and I love to dig into things. I learned about World War II by doing ‘Anne Frank.’ Picture Quote #1

My work is like digging, it’s archaeological research among the arid materials of our times. That’s how I understand my first films, and that’s what I’m still doing Picture Quote #1

I’m not really into method acting - the way I was taught was the good old-fashioned British way of just doing your research and getting on with it Picture Quote #1

But what many psychologists have done, probably because they did well on a test themselves and everyone wants high self esteem, is to create this little box and then do their research inside it Picture Quote #1

I’m not a big believer in doing too much research - I think you can get lost in it. You can get constrained by it, which I think is a mistake. But if you’ve done your homework, the audience feels it Picture Quote #1

You can do the best research and be making the strongest intellectual argument, but if readers don’t get past the third paragraph you’ve wasted your energy and valuable ink Picture Quote #1

The sources and research I use for my inspiration aren’t your typical sci-fi subjects, but it’s really driven by obsession and personal anxiety more than trying to take up the sword and do what’s right Picture Quote #1

We do a lot of consumer research. Consumers believe the smartphone will be the remote, meaning that it will orchestrate a lot of things. So maybe you will take your connectivity with you to the car Picture Quote #1

The ‘Friday sessions’ refer to something that you’re not paid for and not supposed to do during your professional life. Curiosity-driven research. Something random, simple, maybe a bit weird - even ridiculous. Without it, there are no discoveries Picture Quote #1
