"I am not an adolescent, nor a romantic. I analyze objectively."

-- Dilma Rousseff

“No one who deserves confidence ever solicits it.”
“I feel like it's my responsibility to be the greatest I can be. If I go out there and start making terrible music, I don't expect people to like me. If I'm making great music and there's no reason for people to not like me, that's when it's going to make me upset. People just need to take a chance and listen.”
“I carry around a little journal with me, a little notebook and a pen and just write all the time. Not necessarily actually sitting down and writing lyrics, just free-form writing, whatever's going on in my mind.”
“It's part of my game, getting to the free-throw line and being aggressive. If you say that I get superstar calls or I get babied by the refs, that's just taking away from how I play. That's disrespectful to me.”
“A society needs famous people; the question is whom it chooses for that role. Any criticism of its choice is by implication a criticism of that society.”
“Words of love are works of love.”
“I believe in this tragic hour you can make the right choice. The honor and glory of Russian men of arms shall not be stained with the blood of the people.”
“I still love following and thinking about politics. I enjoy recommending important journalism I read or see from other sources.”
