“We only do what we think is good and what we're happy with. I do that in stand-up, I even do it with my children's books. I don't do market research, I don't have focus groups, I don't care. I don't care if it fails, honestly. I'd rather have something that's completely mine fail than something succeed that I'm not proud of.” IfsThinkingChildrenBookCareFocusFailingGroupsMinesProudSucceedResearchDon't CareHonestlyI Don't CareMy ChildrenChildren's BooksMarket ResearchFocus Groups Author:Ricky Gervais
“I should describe mine own nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and dissociated groups - (a) Love of the strange and fantastic. (b) Love of the abstract truth and of scientific logick. (c) Love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these three strains will probably account for all my odd tastes and eccentricities.” ShouldThreeInterestGroupsMinesStrangeTasteLogicAccountsAncientFantasticCombinationPermanentOddAbstractStrainParallelsEccentricity Author:H.

“I just had a son and had to take him to the paediatrician and he measured his head and apparently he's in a group in which only 14 per cent of the population have a bigger head than him. Then she said: "Do you mind if I measure your head?" I said: "Go ahead." And she was shocked, because less than one per cent of the world's population has a bigger head than mine. So I guess that means I'm pretty full of myself. Or that I have a huge brain.” IfsWorldMindMeanSaidBrainGroupsMinesSonHugeBiggerPopulationCentsShocked Author:Jack Black

“John Dorschner, one of our staff writers here at Tropic magazine at The Miami Herald, who is a good friend of mine and an excellent journalist, but a raving liberal, wrote a story about a group that periodically pops up saying that they're going to start their own country or start their own planet or go back to their original planet, or whatever. They were going to "create a libertarian society" on a floating platform in the Caribbean somewhere. I know there's never going to be a country on a floating anything, but if they want to talk about it, that's great.” IfsKnowsWantCountryStoriesGroupsMinesPlanetsOriginalsPopsLibertarianMagazinesJournalistExcellentPlatformsStaffGood FriendFloatingMiamiCaribbean Author:Dave Barry
