All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

The keys to brand success are self-definition, transparency, authenticity and accountability.

I get asked a lot about getting into politics. I say, 'Take a look at politics. You tell me what seems appealing about that.'

George Clooney

Merit is much more cheaply acknowledged than rewarded

Samuel Johnson

He makes me laugh, Mick! He tended to turn up when we were having lunch and entertain us all. He bought an Enigma machine! I've never worked with a producer who was more famous than everyone put together.

Saffron Burrows

There are only two things a child will share willingly; communicable diseases and its mother's age.

Customers don't know what they want. There's plenty of good psychology research that shows that people are not able to accurately predict how they would behave in the future.

Eric Ries

So now, cut to ten years later, and I'm making this amazing contract with Pantene. It's incredible.

Maria Menounos

Marilyn Monroe

There is little doubt that we are in the midst of a revolution of a much more profound and fundamental nature than the social and political revolutions of the last half century.

Arthur Erickson

It takes years for me to trust I know that about myself. A lot of it is because I am so private, and so reluctant to make myself vulnerable.

Michelle Pfeiffer

Other than marriage, she doesn't control me and I don't control her.

Gavyn Davies

Words pay no debts.

William Shakespeare
