I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy.

I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.

Martina Hingis

Those years on the golf course as a caddie, boy, those people were something. They were vulgar, some were alcoholics, racist, they were very difficult people to deal with. A lot of them didn't have a sense of humor.

Martin Sheen

Capitalism inevitably and by virtue of the very logic of its civilization creates, educates and subsidizes a vested interest in social unrest.

Joseph Schumpeter

At the end of the day, my goal was to be the best hacker.

Kevin Mitnick

The more the data banks record about each one of us, the less we exist.

Marshall McLuhan

Not a few other very eminent and scholarly men made the same request, urging that I should no longer through fear refuse to give out my work for the common benefit of students of Mathematics.

Nicolaus Copernicus

Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone therefore we are saved by love.

Reinhold Niebuhr

Science Fiction will never run out of things to wonder about until the human race ceases to use its brain.

Julian May

Tom Osborne

I don't want to make movies for kids, and I don't want to make movies for adults either.

Kristen Stewart

The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or within easy reach of a metropolis - because that's where all the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference. Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, like male vanity products and herpes, they're pretty much everywhere.
