It would take enormous expertise for Amazon to win in every category. Do you

  think McDonald's could be number one in hamburgers, seafood, and Chinese food?

Over the centuries, close-knit tribes have played an important part in the cohesion of Libyan society.
Hisham Matar

Like many of my fellow millennials, I do not consider myself categorically Republican or Democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote on based on what I believe is right, for my family and for my country. Sometimes it's a tough choice.
Ivanka Trump

Jeremy Corbyn confuses the public because he looks like a librarian and enjoys baking bread.
Katherine Ryan

I like Bill Murray a real lot. I like Andy Kaufman.
Glenn Danzig

Trump is not national: he's international. He's known all over the world. He has established businesses all over, and he has given jobs to thousands and thousands of people all over the world with these businesses that he has put together.
Bobby Knight

When you realize the real pleasure in food comes in the first couple bites, and it diminishes thereafter, that's a kind of reminder to focus on the experience, enjoy those first bites, and as you get into the 20th bite, you're talking calories and not pleasure.
Michael Pollan

Everyone looks at our films and thinks that we are somehow able to make movie after movie that does well and is entertaining, but there's an enormous amount of work that goes on under the hood and an enormous number of mistakes that are made along the way.
Lee Unkrich

For me, fashion means dare. I don't mind wearing a bikini. I am okay with it.
Nargis Fakhri

Whenever I Google for clothes, I always look at what Angelina Jolie is wearing. I love Sienna Miller, and I really like Rihanna's style, too. There's the edgy girl, classy girl, and the Bohemian chic girl. I guess I'm all of that combined into one.
Yuna

You realise that there's nothing more endearing than people who are desperately trying to be liked or trying to be the hero, you know? Who also probably just need a hug or want to impress their dad?

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...

Persuasiveness is really just about getting your ideas across without being forceful.

  It's a skill that can be learned and is useful for anyone who works in a team environment. Amanda de Cadenet I was an extra in a Tia Carrere music video. Adam Scott When people start to think they're figuring out 'The Vampire Diaries,' it switches on you. Kat Graham It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that. Laurence Fishburne Voters aren't asking to be pandered to and aren't asking to be tricked. Jason Kander I'm a pretty controlled and disciplined person, but my real vice is buying plants and food shopping. Zac Posen Barack Obama was a president who understood not only how technology could transform the way government services worked but also technology itself. He got it. Steven Levy Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up...

As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a

happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that's the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It's worth it. Bjorn Borg I have the greatest husband. The baby is my main focus right now. We're both so excited. I mean, this is definitely the happiest moment in my life. Ashlee Simpson I feel like that religions generally ask the biggest questions. They may not always have the best answers, but they're the zone of human activity that regularly asks the biggest questions. Ayad Akhtar We wanted to step off our island and add the color of the third world. We got gold cigarette paper and stuck it around our teeth. We really did look like pirates and dressed to look the part. Vivienne Westwood I was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick. Joan Cusack Women dese...

I don't think that I would consider myself a feminist. I think that

I certainly believe in equal rights, I believe that women are just as capable, if not more so in a lot of different dimensions, but I don't, I think have, sort of, the militant drive and the sort of, the chip on the shoulder that sometimes comes with that. Marissa Mayer I used to have a list of things from my school buddies of what kind of art material they wanted. I'd go up to the West End of London and spend the whole day knocking stuff off. Ronald Biggs As screenwriters, we struggle with our own success. We have wallpapered our world and now we can't get anyone to notice the picture we just hung. Paul Schrader You're doing it to make the character as specific as possible, so that it's a specific individual that you're talking about, not that whole class of people. Joel Coen It got to the point in the late 70s and early 80s that I was spending so much money buying golden age comics that I could only justify it if I got work in the media. Bill Mumy...

I still don't want no broke dude! I'm open to offers, but he's got to

be stable. I see a lot of friends who feel they have to be with a man, but they always pick the wrong one. Are there any right ones?Missy Elliott I've worked on so many films where the script is one thing and then, somewhere down the line - on set, sometimes - it changes, and there's zero I can do about it.Rebecca Hall Don't worry about what's cool and what's not cool. Authenticity is what's cool.Zac Posen Are we blasphemous in saying that 2-D is largely a thing of the past, and computer-generated animation is the present and future? It's all about creating a better experience for the viewer - and that includes 3-D.Bob Iger No one can predict the future, but what I do know is that myself and my team work hard every day to make sure that my vision, my sound, and my brand reach their full potential.Justine Skye I'd love to just continue making original films from scratch, but it doesn't mean I won't try my hand at something else in t...

The men resent a woman getting any honour in what they consider is essentially their

field. Men painters mostly despise women painters. So I have decided to stop squirming, to throw any honour in with Canada and women. Emily Carr There's so much crap talked about acting. Ben Kingsley I have always supported measures and principles and not men. Davy Crockett We're all outsiders in a way. We're all alone and can become very lonely. Hugo Weaving I got a hundred bucks says my baby beats Pete's baby. I just think genetics are in my favour. Andre Agassi To deny the freedom of the will is to make morality impossible. James Anthony Froude I want to make this perfectly clear: you can be sure that I will never be a yes-man except to my own conscience. Charles Edison

I finally decided one day, reading science fiction magazines of the time, I could do

at least as well as some of these people are doing. So I finally made a serious effort. Fred Saberhagen I won a Marshall scholarship to read philosophy at Oxford, and what I most wanted to do was strengthen public intellectual culture - I'd write books and essays to help us figure out who we wanted to be. Reid Hoffman Since I am me, I find it very difficult to judge how fascinating listening to my nasal, heavily-accented drone for two hours would be to somebody who wasn't me. Alan Moore I used to do kickboxing, because I liked the cute outfits. Monica Keena I just want to make people smile. Julie Garwood I bought some books in order to learn the first principles of philosophy. Johann Heinrich Lambert All German women are beautiful. Heidi Klum I can never remember what I do even in the studio. Ritchie Blackmore I have never stopped playing music. Jason Schwartzman By and large, I've been healthy all my life. Bill Parcells

I try to be in the office as much as possible to get the full

experience working with volunteers, making phone calls, putting out signs - things that the communications director probably normally wouldn't do.Hope Hicks You can raise a good child in a single-parent family, but it's much more difficult.Sam Brownback I always come very motivated to the Grand Slams.Garbine Muguruza I want to do something that people have not seen before... surprise everyone. There has to be variety in work.Shraddha Kapoor Initially, I was a bit hesitant to do the role in 'MTP,' as it was a very serious and aching subject.Nithya Menen I'm trying to change how women think about themselves.Ashley Graham I no longer file expense reports, so I no longer experience the pain of it. What if everyone had a virtual assistant to do that kind of effort... like approving time off or submitting time-off requests? We want to really encourage developers to create cool things for Slack.Stewart Butterfield Other kids had more talent, but I was ...

I think where it's going is toward what the music industry is like, where channels

will be considered more like labels that carry the type of TV show that you like, and then you'll consume them however you can. For example, I don't really watch Showtime, but I bought 'Homeland,' and I've been watching every episode on my iPad. Adam Pally We need a tougher enforcement program and, most importantly, we need to fix the badly broken ethics system. Marty Meehan There is a god within us. Ovid It is a Modern day, and these times need Modern solutions to Modern problems. Corin Nemec The man who gets drunk in peacetime is a coward. The man who gets drunk in wartime goes on being a coward. Jose Bergamin You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it. Edith Head The taste for quotations (and for the juxtaposition of incongruous quotations) is a Surrealist taste. Susan Sontag I actually went to college with Adam Sandler. He was a dramatic actor, too! Molly Shannon While there I began to study the Asian religions as theories of mind...

I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing

and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life. Thandie Newton I warm up. I do about 50 push-ups with my trainer and my security just to get pumped up before a show, get our energy up. And then I just go have fun. Joe Jonas If I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned. Paula Radcliffe All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100! Lauren Graham Everybody that you could name would join in our audiences from, Laguardia on down. Everybody came. Everybody came to the Cotton Club. Cab Calloway I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound. Amanda Palmer We should distinguish carefully skepticism about Big Government from co...
