The decisions I made designing wiki were very much inspired by my desire to create a model for the collaborative process I thought should happen in large code bases. I wanted wiki to mimic that. (Ward Cunningham)
My earlier award was also based on a close collaborative effort. View quote
John Bardeen
Science is a field which grows continuously with ever expanding frontiers. Further, it is truly international in scope. Any particular advance has been preceded by the contributions of those from many lands who have set firm foundations for further developments. The Nobel awards should be regarded as giving recognition to this general scientific progress as well as to the individuals involved. Further, science is a collaborative effort. The combined results of several people working together is often much more effective than could be that of an individual scientist working alone. View quote

Well, I'm a product of the Australian film industry which by its very nature is independent, sometimes for better sometimes for worse. I suppose the collaborative nature of being independent is what feels natural to me, and when people talk about working in Hollywood I don't quite know what that means. Being part of the Indiana Jones franchise and The Lord of the Rings, that felt more like a departure for me. But in the end, I think the whole notion of the independent spirit is not just about the way a film is financed but about the creative thinking behind it, and sometimes that can exist in the mainstream; those sensibilities can cross over and audiences are interested in, not a homogenous way of storytelling but a diverse way of receiving a narrative.

Ann Cleeves
Collaborative decision-making is very poor in crises. View quote
Marc Randolph
We can all agree that government can't solve the obesity crisis alone. It's an ongoing issue that will require a collaborative effort across private and public sectors if we want to see some long-term success. View quote
Marcus Samuelsson
Screenwriting is a much more collaborative effort. When you write a novel, it's just you, with input from your editor. View quote
Meg Cabot
I would say I'm 90 percent collaborative in everything I do, and 10 percent of the time I just make the call. View quote
Ashton Kutcher
Movies are collaborative, and that's part of what makes it a great experience. They're different from a lot of other art forms, but also it makes it seem like when you see the final product, you go, "I wouldn't have done that. I wouldn't have done this." View quote
Casey Affleck
Our inability to think beyond our own species, or to be able to co-habit with other life forms in what is patently a massive collaborative quest for survival, is surely a malady that pervades the human soul. (Lawrence Anthony)
There's a lot of women's organisations, but they're all working separately. If you get people together, as a collaborative voice, it's strong. View quote
Annie Lennox
In the computer industry, you've got an interdisciplinary team of people who can come together, attack the problem, and work in a collaborative style. You knock down one problem after another, cobble things together, and then hopefully turn the crank at some point. View quote
Paul Allen
Even when labor is subjugated by capital it always necessarily maintains its own autonomy, and this ever more clearly true today with respect to the new immaterial, cooperative and collaborative forms of labor. This relationship is not isolated to the economic terrain but, as we will argue later, spills over into the biopolitical terrain of society as a hole, including military conflicts. In any case, we should recognize here that even in asymmetrical conflicts victory in terms of complete domination is not possible. All that can be achieved is a provisional and limited maintenance of control and order that must constantly be policed and preserved. Counterinsurgency is a full-time job. View quote
Antonio Negri
It's been my great fortune to be surrounded by people that have reminded me of how important process is, not outcome. When you're an actor, or really an artist of a collaborative form, you have so little control of the outcome. And if you are only focused on that...it won't turn out well. If you're focused on the outcome, chances are you're focused on people's perceptions of the outcome-how much money something makes, how it looks, rather than how it feels. And I think that has been the most valuable-one of the most valuable-lessons I've learned is to really appreciate, recognize, and practice the process, not the outcome. View quote
Zoey Deutch
I think directing in a team is a really good idea because it stops the cult of the director as God straight away, and also you're discussing things on set so it opens it out to everyone and it becomes a totally collaborative thing. And you have someone who supports you when you're feeling a bit insecure. View quote
Alan Cumming
I like stand-up. But I'd also like a family and house and a yard. I want to work with a lot of people, have colleagues; and on good film sets, there's people there that work with the same people for years and years. I love that collaborative spirit in that medium. Comedy is a lot more solitary. View quote
Demetri Martin
I always argued against the auteur theory; films are a collaborative art form. I've had some fantastically good people help me make the movies. View quote
Alan Parker
The result of the collaborative culture is that corporations or government institutions focus intensely on internal culture and pour their energy into achieving minuscule policy changes relating to workplace efficiency, gender or race. View quote
Amity Shlaes
I love doing film soundtracks and working with directors on how they want the scene to be portrayed on audio as opposed to visual. I like the collaborative effort of working with people. View quote
Al Jourgensen
Leaders should be collaborative, modest, and generous. (Bill Bradley)
The companies we admire are like the people we admire: resilient, authentic, personable, collaborative, ambitious, and humble. View quote
Chip Conley
Necessarily, I'm always involved in casting, as any playwright is, because the whole process of putting on a play is a collaborative, organic effort on the part of a bunch of people trying to think alike. View quote
David Ives
I do paint, and I wanted to actually be a painter. Sometimes I'll whip out paints. It's tough to find the motivation, but it's also a solitary, lonely occupation. What I like about acting is that it is such a collaborative thing. View quote
Dichen Lachman
I like being in a collaborative and respectful environment. When you're in an environment spearheaded by ego and fear, it's the death of creativity. View quote
Darren Boyd
