At Harman, we had to reinvent ourselves so that we can compete on a global playing field. We did it by instituting a culture where teams can take calculated risks. But to inspire such a shift in mindset requires meaningful rewards across the ranks and freedom to experiment and innovate. I like to think of it as our courage culture.

Dinesh Paliwal

I was the guy who didn't get a cool little apartment. I took one for the team. I liked having the place we could make noise in, the place that could be the center of the music. I sat down and calculated it one day, and over the years, I've had something like 38 roommates.

Adam Granduciel

The warning message we sent the Russians was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood.

Alexander Haig

Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.

Andre Malraux

I have to stop and think about everything I do. I'm very calculated in a lot of ways.

Andrea Navedo

Sometimes, I think 'The Spectator' is calculated to embarrass me.

Andrew Neil

The beauty about my career is that none of it was really calculated.

Angie Martinez

When I first started writing comics, in the way-back days, Typhoid Mary was my explosive response to women characters in comics - I made her an innocent virginal type, a clever, dark, liberated woman, and as Bloody Mary, a feminist bent of punishing men - all in one character. She was an instinctual rather than a calculated creation.

Ann Nocenti

I do write long, long character notes - family background, history, details of appearance - much more than will ever appear in the novel. I think this is what lifts a book from that early calculated, artificial stage.

Anne Tyler

'Easter' is a movable event, calculated by the relative positions of sun and moon, an impossible way of fixing year by year the anniversary of a historical event, but a very natural and indeed inevitable way of calculating a solar festival. These changing dates do not point to the history of a man, but to the hero of a solar myth.

Annie Besant

Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It's the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, 'This is me, and I'm interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.'

Ashton Kutcher

They say that I'm very calculated and not very sensitive - that a regular, average person, there are many things that bother them, and I don't see or feel it.

Ayelet Shaked

I'm pretty good with being calculated in what I do, when I'm going to make my mark on somebody.

Baron Corbin

Each individual piece is a calculated attempt to entice women to add to their wardrobe.

Bill Blass

Between calculated risk and reckless decision-making lies the dividing line between profit and loss.

Charles Duhigg

My great desire has been to remove from the political arena a question of this kind that is calculated to prevent us getting a verdict upon the important political issues that separate the two parties in this country.

Charles Tupper

I always like a woman in power in politics. I think they're pretty inspirational in terms of looks to begin with. It's very calculated.

Chris Benz

'The Green Lantern' seems a little calculated to me. It's like, 'We've got to get on this gay bandwagon and make this character gay.' Like anything else, there's earnest expressions in the culture and then there's kind of bandwagoning.

Christopher McCulloch

All women, whatever be their position, should demand political equality as a means of a freer life, and one calculated to yield rich blessings to society.

Clara Zetkin

Coming into 'The Bachelorette,' I always led with a calculated mind and not an open heart.

Colton Underwood

The Business Profits Tax, which is imposed on in-state businesses, we need to impose the same thing on out-of-state businesses, because the way the Business Profits Tax is calculated, it is highly dependent on how much sales and profits are generated in-state.
