I think the biggest problem working with me would be that I’m an only child, and so I have an internal dialogue that goes on that I just assume you can hear. Maynard James Keenan Read Quote

As a university, we’re not focused on bringing about huge reforms – that’s not our role. William P. Leahy Read Quote
When you’re trying to bust through the noise on social media, you do have to be overt and loud. Shaun King Read Quote
Obama seems like he tries to talk everyone into what he believes – and that’s part of why we elected him, because he’s a calm, reasonable guy – but behind that, there has to be some fight. You have to be able to take a few punches and throw a few punches. Dee Dee Myers Read Quote
I kind of resent the suggestion that there would be something inherent about superheroes that wouldn’t be of interest to women. That makes me nuts. I’m a 5-foot tall woman with a quick temper who always looks like a child, so power fantasies are not strange to me. Kelly Sue DeConnick Read Quote
I actually go to the gym much more now than I did when I was on Buffy. I like to stay fit, because that’s when I feel really healthy. But I never worked out for any kind of image. People have said to me, ‘Do you starve yourself before photo shoots?’ And I always say, ‘No way.! That’s what airbrushing is for. I had french fries last night.’ Sarah Michelle Gellar Read Quote
