10 QUOTES WITH «UNORTHODOX»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word unorthodox.
1
Sergio Aragones
My work is so unorthodox that from one panel to the next, the drawings are completely different... totally opposed to the way of working in something like animation, where every drawing has to look like the one before.
2
Ben Bernanke
I think one of the lessons of the Depression - and this is something that Franklin Roosevelt demonstrated - was that when orthodoxy fails, then you need to try new things. And he was very willing to try unorthodox approaches when the orthodox approach had shown that it was not adequate.
3
David Carson
My site is a little unorthodox without being totally inaccessible.
4
Cameron Crowe
I'm proudest of the fact that I've been able to make a few movies in the studio system that are slightly unorthodox and personal. But it's never quite as easy as you dream that it could be.
5
Lee DeWyze
I'm the first one to admit, I'm a pretty unorthodox guitar player.
6
Theophilus London
I want to wear something that's not perfectly matching; there has to be something unorthodox about it. I want to create this mystery.
7
Vik Muniz
I think most people have creative ideas and have very strange, unorthodox impulses of things that they can do with their lives. I've had many of these over the years, but I decided the more important question was, 'When did I start calling this art?'
8
William Westmoreland
I do not believe that the men who served in uniform in Vietnam have been given the credit they deserve. It was a difficult war against an unorthodox enemy.
9
Eric Whitacre
I'm a self-confessed geek, and my whole concept of music at first was entirely electronic. In many ways, it turned out to be an advantage. I was so green, so utterly naive about the nature of classical music, that I did things that made me look totally, deliberately unorthodox.
10
Boris Yeltsin
It is especially important to encourage unorthodox thinking when the situation is critical: At such moments every new word and fresh thought is more precious than gold. Indeed, people must not be deprived of the right to think their own thoughts.
