When I was a kid, I loved Elvis, and Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. But I had no connection to Hollywood – and being a movie star was such a far-fetched idea, growing up in Hawaii.
Dwayne JohnsonThere is nothing which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.
George WashingtonMySpace is my wife… Facebook is my mistress.
Paulo CoelhoI like the app where you can make your own memes. I make memes all the time and send them to my friends.
Taylor SwiftWe want Facebook to be one of the best places people can go to learn how to build stuff. If you want to build a company, nothing better than jumping in and trying to build one. But Facebook is also great for entrepreneurs/hackers. If people want to come for a few years and move on and build something great, that’s something we’re proud of.
Mark ZuckerbergStreaming is a really big market for me. We’ve been doing great in the streaming market, so it’s not something I want to alienate at all. Streaming counts now. They’re treating artists the way we deserve to be treated.
RihannaDon’t you love it that Prince doesn’t use Twitter? Don’t you think he’s somewhere on a unicorn?
Bruno MarsI can no longer type, so I use TalkingPoint and Dragon Dictate. It’s a speech-to-text program, and there’s an add-on for talking which some guys came up with.
Terry PratchettI think ‚Invisible‘ is a great song, but I don’t know how accessible it is.
BonoThis is our commitment to users and the people who use our service, is that Facebook’s a free service. It’s free now. It will always be free. We make money through having advertisements and things like that.
Mark ZuckerbergVideo is growing very quickly on Facebook. A lot of people compare that to YouTube. I think that kind of makes sense. YouTube isn’t the only video service, but I think it’s the biggest, and it probably makes more sense to compare Facebook video to YouTube rather than Netflix because that’s a completely different kind of content.
Mark ZuckerbergPeople want to act like they know celebrities. They want to see pictures. They want to know where you’re going. They want to hear you talk about your family.
Kevin HartIt used to be the case, like you’d switch jobs, and then maybe you wouldn’t keep in touch with all the people that you knew from that old job, just because it was too hard. But one of the things that Facebook does is it makes it really easy to just stay in touch with all these people.
Mark ZuckerbergNow the playbook is we build AI tools to go find these fake accounts, find coordinated networks of inauthentic activity, and take them down; we make it much harder for anyone to advertise in ways that they shouldn’t be.
Mark ZuckerbergI think the message has already been sent to Hollywood, which is that this kid’s a hard worker, he’s talented, and people are coming out to see him. And when you have box-office results, Hollywood treats you different. Hollywood stands up.
Kevin HartI stopped watching TV because of ‚The Wire.‘ Like, ‚The Wire‘ ruined everything for me because I don’t even want to watch anything else now.
EminemAnd now, of course this is another thing I didn’t count on, that now as the governor of the state of California, I am selling California worldwide. You see that? Selling.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerSocial media has given us this idea that we should all have a posse of friends when in reality, if we have one or two really good friends, we are lucky.
Brene BrownI’m not a chick-flick enthusiast.
Clint EastwoodFor the general public or psychos on Facebook, for everyone who’s made one negative comment about me, I’ve probably gotten 250-300 positive comments.
Abby Lee MillerAdvertising works most effectively when it’s in line with what people are already trying to do. And people are trying to communicate in a certain way on Facebook – they share information with their friends, they learn about what their friends are doing – so there’s really a whole new opportunity for a new type of advertising model within that.
Mark ZuckerbergWhat I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience. Talk about awesome.
Bruno MarsI actually don’t read most of the coverage about Facebook. I try to learn from getting input from people who use our services directly more than from pundits.
Mark ZuckerbergWindows is probably the most important product in the entire PC industry. Everything we do in terms of supporting touch, new hardware, accessibility has incredible impact.
Bill GatesThis film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.
Clint EastwoodI think there should be regulations on social media to the degree that it negatively affects the public good.
Elon MuskYour premium brand had better be delivering something special, or it’s not going to get the business.
Warren BuffettI never called my work an ‚art‘. It’s part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
Walt DisneySince the world has existed, there has been injustice. But it is one world, the more so as it becomes smaller, more accessible. There is just no question that there is more obligation that those who have should give to those who have nothing.
Audrey HepburnI think, first of all, I don’t think people understand Ice Cube’s body of work. Ice Cube is a, and I hate to use the word ‚urban‘ but – when you think of Judd Apatow, and a person who’s launched so many careers, Ice Cube has done that for so many comedians, you know?
Kevin HartThe path to the CEO’s office should not be through the CFO’s office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design.
Elon MuskIt was always a plan that we were going to have a retail side with what were doing musically, like an Apple store or Nike Town. I wanted something where you can come get everything – ‚Marathon‘ or ‚All Money‘ or ‚Crenshaw‘ – and make it like an experience. Especially with what Crenshaw and Slauson meant to my story.
Nipsey HussleMy goal was never to make Facebook cool. I am not a cool person.
Mark ZuckerbergApple took the edge off the word ‚computer.‘
Steve JobsI’m very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.
Stephen CurryThe only difference between Benito and Bad Bunny is 16 million followers on Instagram. And the money that Bad Bunny has in the bank. Benito had, like, $7. The numbers are different, but I’m still the same. Even my insecurities remain the same.
Bad BunnyMy main concern is meeting with public because my main commitment, main interest is promotion of human value, human affection, compassion and religious harmony.
Dalai LamaMy wheelchair is like the Cadillac of wheelchairs; it goes up and down and back, and I can lay down in it.
Abby Lee MillerSocial media can be very effective in creating movements. In the beginning, that is how I first got attention.
Greta ThunbergAdvertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
George OrwellFacebook and Instagram are both really popular with teens, both in the U.S. and globally across the world. I think what you’re starting to see is that there are all these different ways that people want to share and communicate.
Mark ZuckerbergWe were on for six years. We were in syndication for a while. It had its run. I still see the people from ‚Mr. Belvedere,‘ too. We stay in touch.
Bob UeckerOne of the reasons I connect to the Super Bowl is that I approach my shows like an athlete.
Beyonce KnowlesThere’s no difference between movies and television. None at all. Except in a lot of cases, television’s much better than movies.
George LucasPeople at Facebook are fairly used to the press being nice to us or not nice to us.
Mark ZuckerbergI tweet in the morning and the evening. To write 12 hours a day, there is a moment when you’re really tired. It’s my relaxing time.
Paulo CoelhoThe problem with fine art is that in most cases people have to make a special excursion to go and look at it: they can’t afford to own it. So it isn’t really part of their life in the way that music can be.
Brian EnoMySpace is an addiction.
Paulo CoelhoI can’t stress to you enough how much I can relate to teens being cyberbullied. Something that helps me is looking at old videos of me and my friends from middle school, or videos of my family. I love watching funny videos of my favorite people – it really cheers me up.
Ariana GrandeAdvertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need.
Will RogersSocial media is called social media for a reason. It lends itself to sharing rather than horn-tooting.
Margaret AtwoodI don’t use Twitter for bad.
Kevin HartIf Jesus were here today, he wouldn’t be riding around on a donkey. He’d be taking a plane, he’d be using the media.
Joel OsteenThe country would be a lot better off if we stopped having comment sections. And if we got rid of Twitter.
Colin PowellThe dominant theory coming out of Hollywood is that peoples‘ attention spans are getting shorter and shorter and they need more stimulation.
Brian EnoThe problem with EMMA is that it is cost prohibitive for the small investors who were supposed to benefit from the new transparency.
John KennedyFor a highly motivated learner, it’s not like knowledge is secret and somehow the Internet made it not secret. It just made knowledge easy to find. If you’re a motivated enough learner, books are pretty good.
Bill GatesAfter launching the first version of Facebook for a few thousand users, we would discuss how this should be built for the world. It wasn’t even a thought that maybe it could be us. We always thought it would be someone else doing it.
Mark ZuckerbergI believe many people feel like God is mad at them. One day I put a post on Facebook that said, ‚God is not mad at you.‘ Within a few hours, we literally had thousands of positive responses from people saying things like, ‚That is exactly what I needed to hear today.‘ Obviously, this is a message we need to hear.
Joyce MeyerThe main Facebook usage is so big. About 20 percent of the time people spend on their phone is on Facebook.
