“When I was growing up in Terrell, Texas, I felt that it was not where I was supposed to be. I knew that I was meant for a different destination. I think that the minute I was born, there was something inside telling me where I would go, it's like energy - an intangible destiny.” ThinkingDifferentEnergyFeltBornDestinyGrowing UpGrowingMinutesSupposed To BeDestinationTexasIntangibleIntangible Quality Author:Jamie Foxx
“I figure there are enough self-opinionated assholes trying to get their ugly little faces in front of you as it is. You ask a lot of kids today what they want to be when they grow up, and they say, 'I want to be famous.' You ask them, 'For what reason?' and they don't know or care. I think Andy Warhol got it wrong - in the future, so many people are going to become famous that one day everybody will end up being anonymous for 15 minutes.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantTryingLittlesEndsSelfReasonEnoughCareKidsTodayFacesAsksGrowsGrowing UpMinutesFrontsFiguresOne DayUglyOpinionatedWarhol Author:Banksy
“So my biggest fun has been watching my daughters grow up. Now, unfortunately they're hitting the age where they still love me, but they think I'm completely boring. And so they'll come in, pat me on the head, talk to me for 10 minutes, and then they're gone all weekend. Right? They break my heart! So now I've got to start thinking, Well what's going to replace that fun?” ThinkingWellsHeartHas BeensStillsAgeFunGrowsBreakGoneGrowing UpMinutesMy HeartDaughterBoringMy DaughterWeekendHittingTalk To MeBreaking My Heart Author:Barack Obama
“As a child growing up in a grey-skied Yorkshire village, I would occasionally happen upon a Bollywood movie on the television.

“I always wanted to give people the more exciting version of what I think a comedian should be - because I didn't grow up with comics, I grew up with rock 'n' roll. And when I saw a lot of comics, no matter how good they might have been material-wise, I would get a little bored with them after 10 minutes, only because I feel comedians don't really know performance.” PeopleThinkingKnowsGivingFeelsShouldLittlesHas BeensMatterMightWantedGrowsGrowing UpSawsWiseMinutesRocksMaterialsGrewGrew UpPerformancesExcitingVersionsComedianBoredRock N RollMight Have Been Author:Andrew Dice Clay
