I'm just focused on getting to the end of each show and feeling like we've done a good job when we walk off stage. And a perfect show isn't necessarily about making the audience feel good. I know I've done my job well if I've made people feel... interesting. I like to leave them a little stunned.

Fantasy stories have almost always been very white and European-focused, and we wanted to tell a story that would feel both more modern and more global. We wanted to attract a diverse audience.

My work is focused on using data to tell stories and explore our common humanity.

I always focused on being an actor. I did stand-up briefly, but I also did a lot of dramatic work. But since I've been on 'The Daily Show,' people think I'm a comedian. That's not how I see myself.

Aasif Mandvi

I was never focused on me, me, me all the time. I was always focused on somebody else.

Abby Lee Miller

During events like the World Cup and the Olympics, I tend to get really wrapped up in my own experience to stay focused, but it's like a bubble. I don't see much outside my own perspective.

Karthi is such a wonderful human being. He is always focused towards improvisations and keeps working on it.

Abhimanyu Singh

For me, it was always that one extra job that you do to survive in the industry. I also realised that I was not well-sculpted as an actor because I was getting a lot of rejections. I stopped acting and focused on casting.

I try to stay focused on the work and recognize that I've been very lucky. Maybe it's 'cause I grew up with actors, but I've seen that recognition comes and goes, so all there really is is your family and friends. You have to maintain those constants in your life. Maintain what's beyond your work.

Public servants should be focused on serving the public - not any special interest group, and good governance should be an expectation - not an exception.

When I was a CIA officer we would have meetings and you don't know what people's politics are... We were there to serve a mission that we were focused on that mission.

Throughout my first year in office, some of my most informative conversations have occurred at public, community-focused events like our town halls.

I'm just focused playing 100% as best as I can at my club.

It makes sense to have cameras in places where terrorism and crime are of particular concern - such as in Times Square or near major bridges and tunnels. It would be more troubling to learn, however, that the government has focused cameras on the front doors of our homes just to keep track of our comings and goings.

Adam Cohen

I'm going to be with Ring of Honor for a while. So I'm focused on making ROH the best company it can be.

Adam Cole

When you're in the moment and not over thinking the song is when things tend to really work. You're not so focused on the minutiae. You're focused on the overall feel, and that's the stuff that I get from the demos.

Adam Granduciel

I thought that, with so much current attention focused on the topic of North Korea, I might share what I think are three books which cast a rare light on the elusive realm of North Korea.

Adam Johnson

ICG wasn't an index fund so much as a collection of venture-capital investments focused on so-called business-to-business Internet companies.

Adam Lashinsky

When I met my wife, I was focused on making money but failing miserably.

Adam Neumann

I think in general the American scene is much more focused on bouldering, where in Europe they're more focused on sport climbing.

Since Mashable's inception, some of our most popular articles have focused on the science behind the world's coolest innovations.
