When you have something that is perfect, that occupies a position and sector unrivaled by anyone else, that's one thing we do not want to tamper with.
John Paulson
In school I was painfully shy. But as soon as I had to get up in front of the class and give a book report, it was alarming - I'd suddenly be very articulate.
Andrew Bird
Any artist always has misgivings about calling himself an artist.
Bill Budge
With the Gap Band coming from Oklahoma, other artists would tease us by calling us cowboys. We didn't grow up on a ranch, but we took that style to the stage. We knew that it was corny, but at least it was ours.
Charlie Wilson
I'm obsessive enough about getting fit, it's ridiculous. I'm 40 now, and I've got to stop doing it soon. I have to start getting fat and old!
Daniel Craig
A clear lesson of history is that a 'sine qua non' for sustained economic recovery following a financial crisis is a thoroughgoing repair of the financial system.
Janet Yellen
I actually find Los Angeles, in the daily sense, a quite normal place to live. It is certainly contingent upon how normal the person living there might be. I don't think you have to look far in any city to see people looking for the right answer in the wrong place.
John Hensley
I recently had the opportunity to participate in Inc.'s first-ever 'Hire Power Awards' event in Washington, D.C. The event was a testament to the power of American entrepreneurship and the role that it plays in driving job creation and innovation in a wide array of industries.
Karen Mills
I have been fascinated with survival and having to go on no matter what. That always appealed to me.
Katharine Ross
There's something fabulously decadent about staying in a hotel across the street from where you live.
Marley Shelton
Holding Congressional hearings is the purview of the majority, and during the first years of the Obama administration, Democrats could not be bothered.
Matt Gaetz
I grew up completely overwhelmed by TV, and part of the reason why I have gone into television is as a way to justify to myself all those wasted hours of watching TV as a kid. I can now look back and say, 'Oh, that was research.'
Matt Groening
Wit invents; inspiration reveals. The inventions of wit are conceits - metaphors and paradoxes - that discover the secret correspondences that unite beings and things among and with themselves; inspiration is condemned to dissipate its revelations - unless a form can be found to contain them.
Octavio Paz
If I have something that I've finished with, and someone else might find value in it, the idea of passing along for a price is a rational transaction. It exists in many aspects of our lives. But I do have to say that media is a different beast.
Randy Pitchford
I'll just try and try and perform to the best of my capabilities.
Rob Cross
There's a difference between criminals and crooks. Crooks steal. Criminals blow some guy's brains out. I'm a crook.
Ronald Biggs
