Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
In all the world, rich people are very unpopular.
To me, democratic socialism means democracy. It means creating a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthiest people in the country.
Life isn't always really glamorous and fabulous. It's about encouraging people to go back to natural beauty.
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
I guess some people are brilliant enough to be brilliant on their own and never doubt anything and come up with fabulous things. But I think it's good to get into arguments with people and have them say, 'That sucks' or 'You're crazy' or 'That's cheesy' or 'What do you think of this?'
I've always seen first responders as unsung heroes and very special people because, when everyone else is running away from danger, they run into it.
My main characters are the most sunny, happy, optimistic, loving creatures on the face of the Earth. I couldn't be happier that's where I start. I can put as many flawed people in the dog's world as I like, but the dog doesn't care. Dog doesn't judge. Dog doesn't dislike. Dog loves. That's not so bad.
People say I have an aggressive style, and sometimes I don't think that is all just me. I think it's partly because I watched Senna when I was young, and I thought, 'This is how I want to drive when I get the opportunity'.
Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
You can make something big when young that will carry you through life. Look at all the big startups like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They were all started by very young people who stumbled on something of unseen value. You'll know it when you hit a home run.
Our family were outsiders, and I've always had a sense of the outsider, the underdog, and a strong sense of justice towards people who are excluded.
I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.
Research has shown that people who volunteer often live longer.
When you realize who the good people are in your life, you're so lucky.
It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.
Never expect people to treat you any better than you treat yourself.
In the scope of a happy life, a messy desk or an overstuffed coat closet is a trivial thing, yet I find — and I hear from other people that they agree — that getting rid of clutter gives a disproportionate boost to happiness.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
I see harm reduction as a way of engaging people as part of that path to recovery.
