You know what somebody else's fundraise metrics are to you? Irrelevant. You know what your own last round post was? Irrelevant.

- Heidi Roizen

 Copy Quote

About Main

- Jeffrey Toobin

 Copy Quote

It is a juggling act and I have been in it for 12 years now, which is about 11 years longer than I thought I would be, and then the priority there is thinking how can I stay somewhat irrelevant so that you can continue to survive and can continue to work and put yourself in a position to get to do the work you are truly passionate about.

College Feel

It's interesting because with a lot of people who I've met in comedy, it seems not to matter what your background is.

Clearly Idea

The point of theatre is transformation: to make an extraordinary event out of ordinary material right in front of an audience's eyes. Where the germ of the idea came from is pretty much irrelevant. What matters to every theatre maker I know is speaking clearly to the audience 'right now.'

- Ryan Holmes

 Copy Quote
Woman Country

I believe that the worst thing the liberals did in this country was the Lyndon Johnson welfare system, which broke up millions of marriages by funneling taxpayers' money solely to the woman. That made the father and husband irrelevant.

Me Hands

Why they vote for me is irrelevant, but if they do, they're in safe hands.

- Pim Fortuyn

 Copy Quote
Artist Here

The No. 1 quote critics give me is, 'Thom, your work is irrelevant.' Now, that's a fascinating, fascinating comment. Yes, irrelevant to the little subculture, this microculture, of modern art. But here's the point: My art is relevant because it's relevant to 10 million people. That makes me the most relevant artist in this culture.

- Thomas Kinkade

I Think Your

I think that having comedy where people talk the way they really talk, when you talk with your friends and whatever, it's really, it's important. Or else you're making stuff that's a little bit watered down and irrelevant.

- Seth Gordon

Love Other

We all recall what is or was important to us and are astonished when it slips other people's minds. Perhaps we dismiss as irrelevant matters of crucial concern to those we love. That's life as most of us experience it, and which few movies document with such understated acuity as 'Boyhood' does.

- Richard Corliss

 Copy Quote
New Supposedly

Away Private

For Mitt Romney, the complex question of anti-Mormon bias boils down to the practical matter of how he can make it go away. Facing a traditional American anti-Catholicism, John F. Kennedy gave a speech during the 1960 presidential campaign declaring his private religion irrelevant to his qualifications for public office.

- Noah Feldman

 Copy Quote
Like Twenties

But that incessant drive to be out there in the literary universe that was important to me when I was in my twenties, like going to a Paris Review party or whatever, that seems totally irrelevant now.

- Rick Moody

 Copy Quote
Politics Burn

You can't talk about life without talking about politics. You have to have both. If you're just a political person, you're going to burn out. If you, as an artist, are just focused inward, you're going to eventually be irrelevant.

- Robert Adams

 Copy Quote
Social Use

- May Sarton

 Copy Quote
Ready Rule

We are ready to say that we rule the entire Elgin enterprise as irrelevant to the present.

About Part

No matter how close to personal experience a story might be, inevitably you are going to get to a part that isn't yours and, actually, whether it happened or not becomes irrelevant. It is all about choosing the right words.

 Copy Quote
Artist Run

Any system that sees aesthetics as irrelevant, that separates the artist from his product, that fragments the work of the individual, or creates by committee, or makes mincemeat of the creative process will, in the long run, diminish not only the product but the maker as well.

 Copy Quote
Generation Some

 Copy Quote
Advice Tell

It's a question of why they come for your advice. Whatever I tell you, it doesn't matter, it is completely irrelevant in a way. I know so many actors who were discouraged and put that aside. You will get half-baked opinions.

- Michael York

 Copy Quote
Been Previous

Every book I've written has been a different attempt to understand something, and the success or failure of the previous one is irrelevant. I write the book I want.
