Why do you think my name is Artist? I'm an artist.
A Boogie wit da Hoodien
Me and Thugger could make nine songs in a day and then choose which songs we like the most and think is gonna do something. With other people, it's like, we pick one song, and we hope it's the one.
The one thing politicians will always vote for is more politics, so in 2000 they invented the post of mayor of London without ever really thinking what it was a mayor would do.

I've often been accused of dressing too well. I've always been fascinated by fashion, though I don't think I'm particularly fashionable.
Writing, for me, is the great organiser. It's while writing that I think most deeply about things.
Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
A. A. Milne
The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. The second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. The first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.
Some people care too much. I think it's called love.
Jews outside Israel live in permanent contradiction. I think they should come home.
A. B. Yehoshua
I think about the Arabs not as enemies but as cousins. Even when we are in a fierce conflict with them, they are more of a kind of family - with all the problems of a family. We have to live with them.
I don't think that when Zionism began there was a claim that we were losing - even in part - our capacity to contribute to other peoples.
I admit I think it is immoral for Jews to live in the Diaspora.
We have to rethink the two-state solution.
I think artists are really the root of a tree. They can search for truth or reality in their own way, and the gallery can support them - the outside part of the tree, where it is more about reaching the outside world, connecting with the outside world. That is the role of the gallery, no? Why does the artist have to do that?

Some of my academic friends think I've fallen from a very special grace.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
I think that the young people today feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to their brothers and sisters because of the sacrifices that most families make to send their children to college.
My goal has been to encourage jointness, to push people to think of affiliations rather than to operate as solo entrepreneurs.
We think of stars as celestial beings. And once in a while, they smile at us from the pages of 'People' magazine.
A. E. Hotchner
Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink for fellows whom it hurts to think.
A. E. Housman
Here dead lie we because we did not choose to live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; but young men think it is, and we were young.
Nature, not content with denying him the ability to think, has endowed him with the ability to write.
But, somewhere in there, I did have the thought that this really fits in with my thinking about what I wanted to do; with what has to be done by a writer in order to stay alive as a writer.
To be fair, I don't think it's a plague to say I have the misfortune of making movies for a living.
When you boil down the real facts and statistics of what carbon dioxide is doing to this planet... to not feel like you have to do something... I don't think you're human.
I really like suspenseful movies and movies that make you think.
I'm no where as tough as my father. I really think that I am more open to change than he was.
Thinking back on it, I've been in this business since I was 3, and I grew up in musical theater, so I was raised and surrounded by gay men and gay women. I was hardly around anyone straight.
I pray to God I get inside a girl's head one day and see what in the WORLD they are thinking.
We didn't realize there were that many boy bands until we started touring in Europe. I don't think we were ever affected by it since a lot of the groups in Europe didn't really sing live, but we did and would perform a cappella as well.
I'm the complete opposite of every clean cut, decent-looking guy you could ever think of. Yet, I have the biggest heart in the world.
He was what I often think is a dangerous thing for a statesman to be - a student of history; and like most of those who study history, he learned from the mistakes of the past how to make new ones.
When Christians start thinking about Jesus, things start breaking down, they lose their faith. It's perfectly possible to go to church every Sunday and not ask any questions, just because you like it as a way of life. They fear that if they ask questions they'll lose their Christ, the very linchpin of their religion.
I don't think you can tell the objective truth about a person. That's why people write novels.
IQ in general has improved since tests first began. Psychologists think that this is because modern life becomes ever more complicated.
When I think about atheist friends, including my father, they seem to me like people who have no ear for music, or who have never been in love.
I think one of the very frightening things about the regime of the National Socialists is that it made people happy.
I think I became a Catholic to annoy my father.
I might be deceiving myself but I do not think that I do have an inordinate fear of death.
I think that if you can't be loyal to the Church, it's best to get out.
Personally, I think universities are finished. So much rubbish gets taught.
A high-brow is someone who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso.
My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed. These are great qualities that they must work towards. This is my message to the young people.
We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!
When you look at the light bulb above you, you remember Thomas Alva Edison. When the telephone bell rings, you remember Alexander Graham Bell. Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. When you see the blue sky, you think of Sir C.V. Raman.
When grand plans for scientific and defence technologies are made, do the people in power think about the sacrifices the people in the laboratories and fields have to make?
We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions... Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts.
I joined the Madras Christian College but dropped out after three months. Telugu music director Ramesh Naidu asked me to assist him, and I did so for over a year. I did think of rejoining college, but by then, I was discovering the musician in me. I worked with Illaya Raja and Raj Koti and soon shifted to commercials. This led to movie offers.
I think music, in my opinion, is not about motivation in the way it's - it's not a running base. It's art. And my whole philosophy of music is different. It's almost like cooking and serving to people, seeing them smile and enjoying the food, really.
I think I can get away, sometimes, with walking in the streets and not getting noticed. I like that. I want my work to get noticed, not me. And it's slowly getting there, which is good.
After a point of time, when you get success and fame, money and everything, the purpose of life has to be redefined. For me, I think that purpose is to build bridges. Artists can do that very easily, more than politicians.
