When I was young I felt really overwhelmed and confused by the desire not to end up in an office, doing something I didn’t believe in.
Lana Del ReyI was a journeyman chef of middling abilities. Whatever authority I have as a commenter on this world comes from the sheer weight of 28 years in the business. I kicked around for 28 years and came out the other end alive and able to form a sentence.
Anthony BourdainA Khaled record is always the best.
DJ KhaledA development deal is where they’re giving you recording time and money to record, but not promising that they’ll put an album out.
Taylor SwiftObviously this song is an achievement for me in my career, but what makes me really feel good is to make Latinos feel proud. To provoke that pride that a pop figure and someone so big in music globally like Drake would sing with me completely in Spanish and create this hit ‚MIA.‘ That’s the best part of it.
Bad BunnyAt Facebook, we build tools to help people connect with the people they want and share what they want, and by doing this we are extending people’s capacity to build and maintain relationships.
Mark ZuckerbergI don’t know anything about music. In my line you don’t have to.
Elvis PresleyIf Jesus were here today, he wouldn’t be riding around on a donkey. He’d be taking a plane, he’d be using the media.
Joel OsteenI think Ye is important to hip-hop.
Nipsey HussleWhen I started Facebook from my dorm room in 2004, the idea that my roommates and I talked about all the time was a world that was more open.
Mark ZuckerbergIn pop music, the public usually see the results – the hit records, the Grammy Awards performances, the concert tours – but not all the work that goes into getting into the spotlight. And not everyone realizes that, even if you have a lot of talent, chances are you won’t make it.
Bruno MarsI think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.
Lou HoltzIt was 1996 and I was at a crossroads in my career. I had been working in Hollywood as a writer and was very unhappy. I had pitched an idea for a book some six months earlier, and the book packager, Joost Elffers, wanted me to write up a treatment for it.
Robert GreeneOne of the things that we’re trying to do with Creative Labs and all our experiences is explore things that aren’t all tied to Facebook identity. Some things will be, but not everything will have to be, because there are some sets of experiences that are just better with other identities.
Mark ZuckerbergThe thing that we are trying to do at facebook, is just help people connect and communicate more efficiently.
Mark ZuckerbergTo go indie is a thing. But to put an album in the stores, you need a distribution label.
DrakeWe just think that there are all these different ways that people want to share, and that compressing them all into a single blue app is not the right format of the future.
Mark ZuckerbergI would love to get Rihanna on a Khaled song. That’s my friend, but every time I’m around her, I get shy.
DJ KhaledI enjoy being involved in making the artwork for albums and stupid stuff like that.
Frank OceanI tend not to like an awful lot of what is going out under my name now because it is just all product. Who needs it?
Vivienne WestwoodIf you only believe that you’re an artist when you have a big advance in your pocket and a single coming out, I would say that’s quite soulless. You have to have a sense of your own greatness and your own ability from a very deep place inside you. I am the one with the litmus test in my hands of what people need to hear next.
Lady GagaWhen it comes to social media, there are just times I turn off the world, you know. There are just some times you have to give yourself space to be quiet, which means you’ve got to set those phones down.
Michelle ObamaAs a comedian, I found this thing, this profession, that suits my mind and life force. To drop it to do something else? I just don’t get that.
Jerry SeinfeldIt’s much easier to be successful than it is to be relevant. The tricks won’t keep you relevant. Tricks might keep you popular for a while, but in all honesty, I don’t know how U2 will stay relevant. I know we’ve got a future. I know we can fill stadiums. And yet with every record, I think, ‚Is this it? Are we still relevant?‘
BonoI think Facebook is an online directory for colleges… If I want to get information about you, I just go to TheFacebook, type in your name, and it hopefully pulls up all the information I’d care to know about you.
Mark ZuckerbergI don’t use Twitter for bad.
Kevin HartNo one has done a study on this, as far as I can tell, but I think Facebook might be the first place where a large number of people have come out. We didn’t create that – society was generally ready for that. I think this is just part of the general trend that we talked about, about society being more open, and I think that’s good.
Mark ZuckerbergESPN is a great organization to work for.
Lou Holtz‚Via Dolorosa‘ is the only thing I have ever acted in my life, professionally, and I’ll never act again.
David HareIt’s not that every single thing that happens on Facebook is gonna be good. This is humanity. People use tools for good and bad, but I think that we have a clear responsibility to make sure that the good is amplified and to do everything we can to mitigate the bad.
Mark ZuckerbergBig pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.
Napoleon HillMy work as an artist is completely separate from my work as a philanthropist.
Lady GagaThat little Miley Cyrus… she’s like a little Elvis. The kids love her because she’s Hannah Montana, but what people don’t realize about her is she is such a fantastic singer and songwriter. She writes songs like she’s 40 years old!
Dolly PartonThat’s something that is almost accidental at the beginning of a career, but the more you write, the more trained you are to recognize the little signals.
Stephen KingFor the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who’s made one negative comment about me, I’ve probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.
Abby Lee MillerNo rapper in the world from Jay-Z to Tupac to Biggie has 100 percent love on everything they do.
J. ColePeople have asked me, ‚What would you have done if you hadn’t gone into the Army?‘ I’d say I’d probably be a bus driver. I don’t know.
Colin PowellI feel like the reason people feel like they know me is because I’m giving you myself in the music. There’s where the connection comes from; you can’t Twitter that.
J. ColeThis may sound a little bit idealistic, but when I go to my blog, my Facebook page, my Twitter account, I talk to different people from all over the world, and you see how it’s easy to establish a dialogue.
Paulo CoelhoI did go to Wellesley, a women’s college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.
Madeleine AlbrightI mean, we’ve built a lot of products that we think are good, and will help people share photos and share videos and write messages to each other. But it’s really all about how people are spreading Facebook around the world in all these different countries. And that’s what’s so amazing about the scale that it’s at today.
Mark ZuckerbergI like the app where you can make your own memes. I make memes all the time and send them to my friends.
Taylor SwiftIn hip-hop, there’s not a lot of love. There’s not a lot of love being spread. It’s always like ‚I’m stuntin‘ on you raps, or I’m better than you raps.‘ It’s not a lot of ‚Yo man, I idolize you raps.‘
J. ColeEverything I have, my career, my success, my family, I owe to America.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerA lot of the stuff I do in terms of PR, I learned it from Muhammad Ali.
Mr. TThere’s been a lot of talk about Jack White wanting to work with me, and I’ve always admired him, and of course, he lives in Nashville, too.
Dolly PartonI’ve never written a song in my life. It’s all a big hoax.
Elvis PresleyMy best country record only sold 200,000 copies.
Dolly PartonEvery time I say something that’s extremely truthful out loud, it literally breaks the Internet.
Kanye WestPeople have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people – and that social norm is just something that has evolved over time.
Mark ZuckerbergPeople are very reluctant to talk about their private lives but then you go to the internet and they’re much more open.
Paulo CoelhoBut I think there are a set of experiences that turn a potential writer into a working writer, and then there are places in your life were you start to recognize what you want to do.
Stephen KingI tweet in the morning and the evening. To write 12 hours a day, there is a moment when you’re really tired. It’s my relaxing time.
Paulo CoelhoSocial media is reducing social barriers. It connects people on the strength of human values, not identities.
Narendra ModiYou never get over losses. I’ve never gotten over one loss I’ve had in my career. They always stick with me.
Tom BradyFew men would dare to read their own autobiography if all their deeds were recorded in it; few can look back upon their entire career without a blush.
Charles SpurgeonSome people are making music just for numbers and views.
Bad BunnyI respect Soulja Boy.
Nipsey HussleI grew up thinking that a research scientist was a natural thing to be.
Stephen HawkingThe day I think I’m not enjoying the game and contributing the way I would like to, I’ll hang up my boots.
