Ralph Waldo EmersonI was on a TV show when I was 13, and I had a tutor for high school.

Jessica AlbaYou have more and more people coming into the tent with the creative guys [on Hollywood films]. You have marketing and concept testers, advertising people.

Kristen BellTo do anything to a high level it has to be total obsession. Ask Josรฉ Mourinho, he wouldn't know a thing about me, my sport - he knows football, and to get to high levels you have to be insane, nothing else means anything.

Conor McGregorHere was one with an air of high nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Eldar Race.

J. R. R. TolkienThe stream will not permanently rise higher than the main source; and the main source of national power and national greatness is found in the average citizenship of the nation.

Vannevar BushIt also helps that what Dan Slott is doing with Peter Parker in the comics has elevated him to something else, so that Miles Morales at the moment is the more traditional Spider-Man figure in the universe: the high school student trying to balance high school and superheroics, and he can't catch a break. That was Peter's role, but it's not his role anymore, and it's Miles' role. That was given to me, and it's pretty cool.
Brian Michael BendisI would model well-being by presenting myself as a high-energy person who loves what I am doing and who is thrilled to be able to offer books, tapes, and products designed to make people feel good.

Sterling M. McMurrin
