I am surprised by how not-adopted the video reply has been. What keeps other people

from doing it, I think, is that they think a video comes across as 'I'm cool, look at how many e-mails I get.' That perception doesn't scare me, because I know who I am.
Gary Vaynerchuk

I can show bands how to produce themselves. In the same way, many bands think you can't make it without some fat cat in London or New York to manage you. That's just crap. All you need is someone a bit older than you with a bit of business nous whom you trust.
Johnny Marr

The mark of a good marriage is partnership and continuing to feel inspired by your spouse. I had that with Tao. But the end is not necessarily the tragedy. Staying in a relationship that is no longer working is the tragedy. Living unhappily - that's the tragedy.
Olivia Wilde

I think we know too much about actors as it is and their personal lives and it's this information age where we're stimulated constantly by the celebrity buzz effect or whatever it is, these web sites and blogs and different things.
Ryan Reynolds

The minimum wage is the black teenage unemployment act. It is the guaranteed way of holding the poor, the minorities and the disenfranchised out of the mainstream is if you price their original services too high.
Arthur Laffer

I think the other misconceptions when the film came out, he was very upset that it was so widely released and so widely seen. And neither one of us - well, I think I had hopes it would be, 'cause I really did think it was something special.
Terry Zwigoff

I am now in that happy comfortable state that I do not hesitate to indulge in any fancy in regard to diet, but watch the consequences, and do not continue any course which adds to weight or bulk and consequent discomfort.

Priority is placed on the chastity of women. You can be corrupt, or a murderer

and still hold your head up high on the street without problems, whereas if there are any suspicions of your chastity and moral behaviour as a woman, you get lynched. Safak Pavey You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it? Leonard Susskind I don't think Russia could start a war by attacking any of the NATO member states. Milos Zeman Like every artist that comes out, you want to make a mark; you want to be a household name and you want to be someone that people are going to look back in ten years/fifteen years' time and go, 'I love this guy Olly Murs. He was brilliant back in the day; he was someone I really, really liked.' Olly Murs Fundamentally, the basis of all modern progress is the efficiency of labor. And the only sure road to restored prosperity is through the thrift and hard work of our people as a whole. Charles M. Schwab May we treasure the divine...

It is our Party's unshakeable stand to prevent a new war from breaking out on the

Korean peninsula and accelerate economic construction in a peaceful environment, thus resolving at an early date the problems related with the people's livelihood. Kim Jong-un We need to pay our dues to live on this earth; we need to pay the rent, and I'm doing that with the work we are carrying out here in Patagonia. Douglas Tompkins I would like to thank all my captains who believed in me and backed me to the hilt. I also thank our greatest partner, the Indian cricket fan, for all the love, support, and memories. Virender Sehwag CASIS has to succeed because for it not to succeed would be a huge setback for the International Space Station program. Alan Stern I go back to things all the time. It's really nice, too, like when I'm going through some kind of a writer's block, and I'm feeling uninspired, I go to some of my oldest songs from over the years and sift through them, and one thing that's very nice is to see how I've grown up a little bit. A litt...

I love a well-plotted story. But I'm just not that kind of writer, and it's

not necessarily by choice. When I manipulate plot, I feel I lose authenticity. Alice McDermott I made three short films of my own which I wrote, produced, directed... you did everything in those days. My favourite one was something I shot on VHS... a little documentary. Asif Kapadia Everything comes out in blues music: joy, pain, struggle. Blues is affirmation with absolute elegance. It's about a man and a woman. So the pain and the struggle in the blues is that universal pain that comes from having your heart broken. Most blues songs are not about social statements. Wynton Marsalis There's still a lot I'm angry about, a lot of human behaviour that's appalling and despicable, but you choose what you can fight against. I always thought if I could just put something in words perfectly enough, people would get the idea and it would change things. Neil Peart I'm not specifically attached to anything other than trying to, in my personal life, fight against wh...

I will never tire of recommending the custom, practiced by the best architects, of preparing

not only drawings and sketches, but also models of wood or any other material. These... enable us to examine... the work as a whole... and, before continuing any further, to estimate the likely trouble and expense. Leon Battista Alberti Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious. Peter Dinklage I've been playing since I was 5, but I wouldn't say that I'm serious about the piano. Kiernan Shipka People are needed to take up the challenge, strong people, who proclaim the truth, throw it in people's faces, and do what they can with their own two hands. Abbe Pierre The excitement right now is coming from the Liberty movement. And the Republicans want a piece of it. Gary Johnson I never realized I could love people as much as I do now. George Lopez When the students were killed at Kent State, the cast voted to do a demonstration from the stage, and I abstained. Holly Near If I make two f...

I would have to say the most challenging thing about directing is the sheer stamina

because... as a director, you're always doing something. Someone always needs to talk to you. There are always decisions to be made and every day for as long as the movie goes on. So it's a marathon... You don't have to look nice, but it's all day every day. Michael Urie It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business. Christina Aguilera It wasn't that I got pinned against my locker, but I was intensely aware that the things I valued weren't shared by anyone. Girls didn't like me, and I had few friends. Josh Groban We must also win really sufficient and, above all, practical, guarantees for the freedom of the seas and for the further fulfilment of our economic and political tasks throughout the world. Bernhard von Bulow For thugs from the ghetto, violence is a way of life - it's what helps you survive. Suge Knight Now we are using the body scanner to s...

I love the idea that we put in jokes the kids don't get. And that

later, when they grow up and read a few books and go to college and watch the show again, they can get it on a completely different level. Matt Groening Brainy folks were also present in Lyndon Johnson's administration, especially in the Pentagon, where Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's brilliant 'whiz kids' tried to micro-manage the Vietnam war, with disastrous results. Thomas Sowell The most interesting guy I've ever played with was King Hassan of Morocco. I went over there on a trip in the early 1970s, and the King and I played five holes. I've never been that nervous in my life. Lee Trevino George Martin is an incredible writer. Peter Dinklage I do come from a strong family. Arlen Specter I think any cancer patient, if you dig not too deeply, they want to live. Charles Jencks We believe in personal choice, rather than society dictating how we must live our lives. Mike Peters Yeah, I've only been acting since I was 18 out of high...

I came from a private school, and public high school was the first time I

ever went to a public school. So I went into it very preppy; I was wearing a lot of Abercrombie and Hollister. Then, my sophomore year, I started listening to rock bands. I had a boyfriend that took me to my first rock show, and I was just addicted to that.Cassadee Pope School integration did not come to be the day after the Brown ruling was issued. Progress took years, and it took passion, strength, and courage from a large group of committed individuals.Donna Brazile You have to know your man. Girls be like, 'I know my man, I know my man,' but I mean really know him.Remy Ma Regulatory reform must move beyond limiting the damage that the financial sector can do and ensure that the sector genuinely serves society.Joseph Stiglitz I want to speak seventeen languages. When you think like that, you'll be consumed by failure. I'm haunted daily by what I don't know.Kelsey Grammer I would have become a pilot if it wasn't for my poor eyesight and the fact...

I never thought then I'd be doing what I'm doing now. At my high school,

being on the girls soccer team was the cool thing to do, but that was definitely never going to happen for me, so I played music. Not because everyone thought it was awesome, but for the love of it. Kate Voegele Then hast our the Red Stone perfect with less labour, expense of time and costs, for the which ever thank God. George Ripley There are many plant medicines that are available to us that have a lot of stigma around them that I hope, in the future, our medical community can look at, because I would absolutely go to those alternatives first before I went back to Western medicine. Melissa Etheridge A husband is very much like a house or a horse. Anthony Trollope I'm a curvy girl and that will never change. Holly Madison Restaurants are a wonderful escape for me. And are for a lot of people. Gay Talese I have an enormous appetite to see life as I know it presented in front of my eyes. Wallace Shawn If you are in business, you are not enjoying. You are workin...

I remember when I was in third grade, I was in a classroom, and the teacher said,

'What do you want to do when you get older?' We were going around the room. I said, 'I want to be a professional basketball player.' She's like, 'That's not realistic.' I thought to myself, 'OK, watch.' Zach LaVine Professional wrestling is my first love, and I will continue to do that, but if I get a good offer for a film or a show, I would love to take it up. Sangram Singh I had this dream in my head of, if I got hired by 'SNL, what that moment would be like. And I dreamed that I would, like, collapse on the sidewalk and cry to the heavens. I got this call, and it didn't happen naturally. But I did it anyway because I wanted to have that moment. So I did collapse. Kate McKinnon It's funny: I don't feel like I have any particular privileged feeling for the Fifties. Todd Haynes Stock market goes up or down, and you can't adjust your portfolio based on the whims of the market, so you have to have a strategy in a position and s...

There is constant talk about the intermarriage crisis: who is a Jew and how

we define a Jew. That doesn't go over well with young Jews trying to figure out whether they want to be a part of this thing or not. Tahl Raz I've been studying voice for quite a while, especially opera, for at least seven or eight years. Shelly Burch Like anything, I remember who I work for. You work for the people who sent you to office. Darryl Glenn For the bourgeoisie, the main danger against which it had to be protected, that which had to be avoided at all costs, was armed uprising, was the armed people, was the workers taking to the streets in an assault against the government. Michel Foucault My grandmother is a huge part of my life. She's just a great woman: a woman of the church. Chance The Rapper I don't think we can fix poverty without fixing housing, and I don't think we can address housing without understanding landlords. Matthew Desmond One of my best friends since I was eleven years old is a gay man, and I knew his struggle. It was a tough life, you ...
