“I think pop culture is the greatest subject matter out there - 'Other People's Lives,' as we wrote about on the last Duran Duran album. Most ideas for great songs come from real situations, something your friend said to you the night before, the girl that just left, or something traumatic in your life.” PeopleThinkingSaidIdeasRealMatterLastsNightSongCultureGirlLeftSituationSubjectsAlbumsPopsPop CultureSubject MatterDuran Duran Author:Nick Rhodes
“I walk around and think about things. When I come across a thought that makes me laugh, I write it down. Then, at night, I say the thought to people through a microphone. I don't think about politics or pop culture very much, so those thoughts don't often make it to the microphone.” PeopleThinkingWritingNightCultureWalksLaughingPopsPop CultureMicrophonesMake Me Laugh Author:Demetri Martin
“Without culture there can be no growth; without exertion, no acquisition; without friction, no polish; without labor, no knowledge; without action, no progress; and without conflict, no victory. The man who lies down a fool at night, hoping that he will waken wise in the morning, will rise up in the morning as he laid down in the evening.” MenActionLyingNightCultureGrowthMorningWiseProgressHe ManFoolVictoryConflictLaborEveningPolishAcquisitionExertionFriction Author:Frederick Douglass

“Our culture does not teach us this, but what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas. If you cheat in Vegas, it comes right home with you. If you cheat in Vegas, you walk home as a cheater. You lie awake at a night a cheater. You cannot escape it.” IfsDoeHomeHappensLyingNightCultureWalksTeachAwakeCheatVegasCheater Author:Tom Shadyac
