Nathan FillionA 'very good friend' is a dangerous category with Indian girls.

Rob GronkowskiBig Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's busy holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed. He's making sure your imagination withers. Until it's as useful as your appendix. He's making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.

Queen LatifahAmerica's not just [about] looking out for yourself, it's not just about greed, it's not just about trying to climb to the very top and keep everybody else down. ...

Deborah SmithI listened to my first comedy album in 6th grade. It was Bill Cosby. My brother and I would play it over and over on a Fisher Price record player.

Robert BarryIf you look around to find meaning in everything that happens, you will end up disappointed. Sometimes there arenโt reasons behind the terrible things that go on.

But when the morning comes, I realize that thereโs nothing to be done about what has already happened. I can only get up and do my chores and push through the day and find the good in it.
