The best thing is to go public only when you're absolutely sure that's the right

move for the company. And in order to make sure that is the case, you need to have as much control over the company as possible, which means not giving up control early on.
Jon Oringer

When I'm playing a team sport, it's not about one individual, it's about everyone, from me to the other 23 people who were there, to all the support staff who've worked very hard behind the scenes.
Gautam Gambhir

I don't know that I 'look up' to them, but in our predictably partisan media world, I admire journalists who are genuinely nonpartisan and totally fearless in their work - people who have no interest in being invited to the cocktail party. I don't agree with everything he writes, but Glenn Greenwald comes to mind.
Willie Geist

I ended up reading comics and just started drawing at a very young age. By high school, I was putting together longer stories. In college, I started doing strips for the newspaper and doing mini-comics. It sort of grew in scope and scale over time.
Tim Fish

The caste systems of sex and race are interdependent and can only be uprooted together.
Gloria Steinem

I am not homophobic - in no way, shape or form.
Isaiah Washington

It's hard not to chase the money. You sit at home when guys are out playing for a $6 million purse, and you know you're going to drop back on the money list, so you end up playing when you don't really want to.
Graham DeLaet

Things that I consider bad qualities, I always try and figure out where they are coming from. I don't consider ambition to be a bad one. It's served me very well in my life. Very well.
Rob Lowe

The whole story of migration and what that has done in interconnecting the planet is obviously something I've written about a lot.
Salman Rushdie

Beliefs about how lying looks are plentiful and often contradictory: depending on whom you choose to believe, liars can be detected because they fidget a lot, hold very still, cross their legs, cross their arms, look up, look down, make eye contact or fail to make eye contact.
Robin Marantz Henig

'Instagram' is an app that only took 8 weeks to build and ship but was a product of over a year of work.

As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child.

Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what was meant by 'survival of the fittest.' Bill Cosby There was a war crimes trial because an American prisoner had been shot trying to escape. He had obviously been recaptured and shot, and that violated the Geneva Convention. Charles Guggenheim He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king. John Milton Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do. Harriet Beecher Stowe If that's the way the game is played, I don't want to play anymore. Joyce DeWitt

I was very lucky. Things happened, both bad and good, but I never got into

real, deep trouble. But it wore me down. By the time I was 18, I was done. I didn't want to live the life any more. I needed to develop past the point that busking takes you to. Madeleine Peyroux We wanted to be certain they didn't have a bigger deficit, and Kennedy agreed with me. Wilbur Mills If I'm in a slump, I ask myself for advice. Ichiro Suzuki A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts. Lucius Annaeus Seneca We gained his operational capabilities and he gained our marketing skills. Mercer Reynolds Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm. Graham Greene Life is largely a matter of expectation. Horace

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will

be enforced - the just demands of peace and security will be met - or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power. Colin Powell I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country. Barbara Mikulski Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another. Thomas Hobbes People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. Unknown We talked about Tootsie, the idea in Tootsie is that a man becomes a better man for having been a woman. Sydney Pollack

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably

more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people. Donna Karan What we have in us of the image of God is the love of truth and justice. Demosthenes There was no television, so the radio provided you with everything. Ruben Blades All the beasts in Howling Forest were safe in their caves, nests, and burrows. Michael Ende If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself. Bob Dylan

People get into debt head over heels because banks make it so easy to do

so. Then the banks come along and act like these people who can't or won't pay their bills are the dregs of society. Jonathan Raymond 'Macbeth' is one of the best operas ever, and doing it was a great experience. I added some things to the opera based from my experience on the movie - such as some of the special effects and bits of film - to make it new and interesting. It was a very good work and a very good experience. Dario Argento In any relationship, after the first year is over, you can't help but want your own space. Helena Bonham Carter I must confess that although I am quite passionate about the books I create for children, I am not the best oral storyteller. In fact, I stink at it. Tony DiTerlizzi I fantasize and idealize myself as Bugs Bunny, but I know deep down I'm Daffy Duck. Patton Oswalt My father was always playing the piano. He played all kinds of music - Gershwin, all kinds of stuff. Kate Bush Being from Texas, acting or musi...

In the 1950s in the United States, few music lovers were listening to chamber music.

Daddy played Bach and Haydn on our phonograph for me. Not only did I become familiar with the form; he discussed the concerti. My own head start. My own Head Start. Karen DeCrow Many people in Europe and the U.S. dispute the thesis that we are living through a clash of civilisations between Islam and the west. But a radical minority of Muslims firmly believes that Islam is under siege, and is committed to winning the holy war it has declared against the West. Ayaan Hirsi Ali The major religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, they deny somehow that God has a feminine face. However, if you go to the holy texts, you see there is this feminine presence. Paulo Coelho Recording is just a lengthy process, so to have to record before every professional video, that's where a real time drain comes in. Riki Lindhome I really do believe the camera steals the soul. But that may be because I'm worried about my soul. I don't have much of a soul to begin with; I can't affor...

To a poet, it's quite ruinous to have a poem distorted, out of shape, or

squeezed, shall we say, into this tiny screen. But I'm not sure big digital companies are sensitive to the needs of poets. Billy Collins Theater owners are exerting a lot of power over the studios to withhold access to content that people want to see. That's bad for consumers, that's bad for studios, and ultimately, I think it will be bad for theaters. Ted Sarandos I think it's important to view the issues on the broadest possible reference plane. In fact, if you firmly believe in any issue, I urge you to read the opposite of it. Most of the time, it'll merely reinforce your original beliefs, but on the rare occasion, it might change your mind. Michael Ramirez I never, ever, restrict food, and I will never go on a diet ever again. Portia de Rossi I love acting and I have a need to do it, even when the business is down. Nadine Velazquez All art is a confession. Gaston Lachaise It's weird because before a race, I always want something sweet, like...

People come up to me and say, 'It's too bad the space program got canceled.'

This is not the case, and yet that is what most of the public thinks has happened. Buzz Aldrin I used to spend countless days in my teenage years keeping scorecards, playing cricket and just enjoying myself with friends and having the occasional shandy in the bar. Steffan Rhodri I am happy that I'm a better novelist than a screenwriter. Graeme Simsion I believe you should help people. Gerry Harvey I watch a lot of football. Paolo Sorrentino The mind as well as the body must be not only strong but well disciplined in order to act with promptness and vigor in new and untried situations. It is hard to turn men's minds from the old and deeply worn channels in which they have long been flowing. Benjamin Robbins Curtis In Japan, a company worker's position is secure. He is retrained for another job if his present job is eliminated by productivity improvement. W. Edwards Deming Chris Rock is a good friend of mine, and he is hysterical. Kid Rock

I didn't really start performing until high school. My whole family is actually in the

business, and started in the business in Chicago, so I was going to shows when I was a teeny-tiny kid, but I didn't really start performing until high school. Jessie Mueller One of the shocks of a 50th birthday is realizing the fundamental fact that your youth is irrevocably over. Marianne Williamson A diplomatic solution that puts significant and verifiable constraints on Iran's nuclear program represents the best and most sustainable chance to ensure that America, Israel, the entire Middle East will never be menaced by a nuclear-armed Iran. Joe Biden I don't think you can mix classical music and reggae. It's not possible. But some producer in, like, Norway is going to put it together. B.o.B Le Cirque at first was one of those general French restaurants in town, which were cooking more or less the same food. At Le Cirque, I wanted to do something different while respecting the foundation of the restaurant. I did that through the menu. Daniel Boulud I wil...

If you are wealthy enough, use part or all of your Social Security proceeds to

invest in a favorite cause or two. Invest 10 percent or 100 percent of your monthly Social Security check in your favorite charity, foundation, think tank, church or synagogue, or other good cause. Mark Skousen Because society places a value on masculinity, gay men aspire to it. If you go to a gay club and the doorman says, 'You do realise this is a gay club, don't you lads?' you get all excited because you think, 'Wow, he thought I was straight!' Graham Norton What strikes me about Jesus is that he is a remarkably true person; he never changes his personality to fit in with whatever crowd he finds himself. He is simply himself, and he never plays to his audience. John Eldredge Men are fair, and they have learned not to personalize anger - they can disagree with you and argue to the bone, but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered. Warren Farrell When I start working on a batch of t...
