I was doing a college show for the first time, and there was this 20-year-old

gay male who's been diabetic his entire life. He said, 'I really wanna get into stand-up.' I was like, 'Oh, my God, do you realize how interesting and inherently funny you are? Go do all the comedy that you wanna do.' I care about that.
Jessica Williams

You don't let being the first to do it stop you or get in the way.
Halima Aden

It is not good to cut exports or imports.
Jose Angel Gurria

Studios are often very nervous of things they don't recognize, by which I mean things that haven't been done before, and therefore, they take a really original idea, and they recognize the originality, and then they try and make it look like something they recognize. So they try to turn it into something far more procedural.
Joe Wright

I have a lot of friends with bad taste in music - some might say that I have bad taste in music.
Jonathan Levine

I'm one win away from being a superstar.
Liam Smith

As a rule, the civil-rights establishment is not punctual.
Tucker Carlson

Nobody is going to believe what you're saying if you don't believe it yourself.
Kimberly Guilfoyle

You can think you know somebody. But when they're trying to punch you in the face, you really know somebody. You learn their tendencies.
Michael Pena

I'm a big fan of having a team with different thoughts and backgrounds and experiences; that makes for a better enterprise and better decision-making.

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 ...

I do everything I can to have a diverse career because I just want to

have options. I know that I can do Hamlet or I can do Stanley Kowalski, you know. Sam Rockwell I've been pretty good about keeping my nose to the grindstone. I feel like I won a lot of matches from hard work and persistence, even maybe when I had better options as far as shot-making. Andy Roddick When I want to render these fine nuances, I do not find them in the subject, but in the nature of women in real life who seek unhealthy emotions and are too stupid even to understand the horror in the most appalling situations. Gustave Moreau There are those who leave without our needing to detain them; we have said all there is to say. Richard Eyre I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy. Lea Michele Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor. Herb Caen I honestly think that's one of the greatest motivators of art - the fear of not making great art. Jason McCoy The two citi...

I call it an old-fashioned seafood house for the new millennium. We are trying to

update what we know as old fish houses and places like that, which are great, but I want to give it a new, fresh look with updated versions of the classics we all love. Todd English Poor men's reasons are not heard. Thomas Fuller Had Calhoun been advised by me, he would have been the most popular man in the United States. Duff Green The secret to humor is surprise. Aristotle I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play. Walter Koenig I dream of you to wake; would that I might Dream of you and not wake but slumber on. Christina Rossetti Honor among thieves is the ancestor of all honor. John McCarthy

This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason.

All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook. Larry Elder I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead. Frank Black You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again. Tom Petty We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. J. William Fulbright Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. Mary Shelley Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such fr...

There's a book out called 'How Money Walks' written by Travis Brown.

He's followed annual adjusted gross income from 1992 to 2011. Approximately $100 billion has moved to Florida from all over the country. Number two is Arizona. Where does it come from? It's come from New York; it's come from New Jersey; and it's come from California. Rick Scott China itself has said repeatedly that they will and have been conforming to international law. Benigno Aquino III I did not intend for there to be an incisive historical lesson in 'North and South.' Basically, it's just a good, juicy story. David L. Wolper When I went to the all-Ireland final - Kerry against Dublin - I couldn't get away for an hour and a half with people coming up and wishing me all the best. Not one of them said, 'Martin, when did you leave the IRA?' But every one of them knew I was in the IRA at one stage. Martin McGuinness The answer to neofascism is stopping neoliberalism. Putting another Clinton in the White House will fan the flames of t...

You can't afford for there to be gaps in your pool of knowledge when it comes to a character;

otherwise, what ends up onscreen is generalized and unspecific. David Oyelowo As conservatives, we support free market principles and believe the private sector provides solutions that the government cannot. Mike Pompeo It is very important that people see there is a bright future, and we can re-engage that entrepreneurial spirit of the trading nation for which the U.K. has always been known - that dynamic, creative spirit. Theresa May When I began making electronic music, the only thing I was thinking about was creating music that I really liked. I didn't think about what effect it would have; I was busy doing it. Jean-Michel Jarre I worked with Herb Ritts on the Marky Mark shoot, and then Steven Meisel, and then they'd start sending limos for me, and I was like, 'That is so embarrassing. I'm not getting in a stretch limo by myself to go to a shoot.' That whole New York thing of, 'You are fabulous! Turn up to a Meisel shoot in a limo and you're fabulous!...

Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse. Murphy's First Corollary If

you tell the boss you were late for work because you had a flat tire, the next morning you will have a flat tire. George Edward Woodberry The market system requires that people be committed and willing to work hard. Inherent with that is what I call a merit system, which I think gives people the greatest opportunity. Lee R. Raymond Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone. John Maynard Keynes Human beings must have action; and they will make it if they cannot find it. Albert Einstein I can't wait to front my band with these new songs and play for fans, but I've decided to keep my day job too. Richard Marx I think like any marriage, especially when you've had divorced parents like myself; you want to try even harder to make it work. Princess Diana Curiosity is one of the great secrets of happiness. Bryant H. McGill

In my era, where I'm from, I only had Donald Whiteside. He's from Englewood and

he's the only one that came out of Englewood. Other than him, I really didn't have anyone else to look up to that was from my area. So in seeing him, I never gave up hope, just kept playing and then I realized that I might have a future in basketball. Derrick Rose I think if you go beyond a year - if this continues into the system in the out years, I think there is a risk and that - that we could have a negative reaction in the bond market and that will offset the good that was attempted to be done. Franklin Raines I never was brought into the league thinking as far as, you know, statistics, things like that. We were really brought into the league in a team concept. Everything was focused around winning. Mark Messier I think you need to have a tax system that basically is flat, fair and simple. And - that you can put on a post card. I mean, even Timothy Geithner could do this one and get it on time. Rick Perry Why argue about things you can't prove? William Ruckelsh...

I don't know what I would have done without believing in God. His support gives

me power and energy to continue to be optimistic, to smile, not to be depressed. Sometimes, if things are not going so well, I don't cry. I say maybe it's meant to be. Ofra Haza The biggest kick I get is to communicate with those who are exiled from the game - in hospitals, homes, prisons - those who have seldom seen a game, who can't travel to a game, those who are blind. Jack Buck In all honesty, I'm not able to talk about contracts. It's nothing with 'American Idol' in particular, it's just things I really need to take care of in my life. Mario Vazquez But I think once the word gets out that the movie is funny - funny is transcendent - it will traverse all demographic barriers if people embrace it as a funny movie. Thomas Haden Church It is the greatest shot of adrenaline to be doing what you have wanted to do so badly. You almost feel like you could fly without the plane. Charles Lindbergh Tyranny Absolves all faith; and who invades ou...

I saw my dad doing it and thought to myself, 'I can do that.' I would be backstage

watching him and running around the country with him singing to children. He would sing songs that taught children really good morals: like, 'Teaching Peace' was a song he used to sing to kids a lot. Andy Grammer I wanted to be an attorney all the way up until I was 17. Mark Foster I am not bothered about if my role in a film is small or big. Because if the character I am offered is sensible, I would do it even if it is small. Nithya Menen He's known as Sting. I have my own personal name for him, but that shall remain a personal name. Trudie Styler I wanted to play for United; I wanted to play at Old Trafford. It was always my goal. Bastian Schweinsteiger I grew up in a very middle-class life. I'm grateful for it - it has given me a lot of stability. Carrie-Anne Moss I am a human being: sometimes I am happy, but sometimes I am not feeling that great or not in a mood. Shaheer Sheikh The first time I heard the Mars Volta, I had a feeling I was experiencing something that...
