Here is a dirty little secret: Stock-picking is wildly overrated. Sure, it makes for great cocktail party chatter, and what is more fun than delving into a company's new products? But the truth is that individual stocks are riskier than broad indices.

My parents are very cool and wildly supportive - maybe almost too much. I want to tell them to chill out.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

If you ask two people to remember a specific event, the stories are going to vary wildly because we always make ourselves out to be the hero.

Aja Naomi King

You Wildly Wild

'Catch-22' was a huge failure, and it rubbed off on everybody connected to it. I had a bunch of lean years where I had to do things, a lot of which I wasn't wildly enthusiastic about.

Alan Arkin

Failure Years Year

I like to say I sit alone in my room, and I fight the language. I am wildly obsessive. I can't let something go if I think it's wrong.

Alan Furst

Alone Age Wrong

Poland is a wildly dramatic and tragic story. It's just unbelievable what went on with those people. How they survive, I don't really know. The Germans had a particular hatred for the Poles; they really considered them subhuman Slavs, and they were very brutal to them.

I think we live in an era without a predictable career path. Everybody's doing more, doing more at the same time, doing more faster. As such, individual projects can have wildly different developmental trajectories.

I'm generalizing wildly, but academic books find safety in explanations that reduce the chaos of social life.

I want to single out Kathryn Hahn's performance in Jill Soloway's film 'Afternoon Delight,' which in my opinion should have been nominated for an Oscar. I think it's one of the greatest female performances I've ever seen on screen, and I think she's wildly talented.

Amy Landecker

Great Car Wildly

I don't write things that are wildly abstractly atonal.

Andre Previn

Write Wildly Wild

I don't think Albert Einstein could have devised an equation to guide the leader of the free world during the wildly tumultuous post-9/11 realities without a modicum of help from the opposition party and the vast majority of the print and electronic media.

Andrew Breitbart

Art World Without

I am thrilled to be working with Alex Sanchez as the artist on 'Katana.' His work is wildly eclectic, exciting and powerful, yet slyly humorous, which is a perfect match for Katana.

Ann Nocenti

Friendship is a wildly underrated medication.

Radio Shack is meeting the fate of many other stores that were wildly popular in the twentieth century, including record stores, comic book stores, bookstores and video stores.

Annalee Newitz

Most of the time, economic data is fairly benign. I don't wish to imply it is meaningless, but it is not a driver of stock markets. Indeed, the correlation between economic noise and how equity markets perform has been wildly overemphasized.

Stage and film are just two wildly different animals. Why compare the two?

Bebe Neuwirth

Age Wildly Wild

What we aspired to in 1998, we have wildly surpassed. And I know we all feel incredibly grateful and lucky this band has been able to have the life that it's had.

Ben Gibbard

What can we learn from the battle between data and design? What can we learn from the relationship between Google and Apple? Clearly no one school of thought is right: Apple and Google are both wildly successful and profitable companies that changed the world.

Ben Parr

Success Relationship Design

We're delighted to be working with Apple to offer fans a new and innovative way to experience our wildly popular shows.

Bob Iger

When I think about 'Since U Been Gone,' I think the first thing that comes to mind is 'Livin' On A Prayer' - they're kind of like sisters, a little bit. And 'Call Me Maybe' was so wildly original, and so quirky, and so satisfying.

Bonnie McKee

It's a widely-held belief that Millennials are obsessed with money. And it's also wildly true. Just don't mistake it for a fixation with getting rich.

Chelsea Clinton

My family is certainly very vocal. They're very Italian. A lot of our holidays end with people screaming at each other across the room. And everyone's very opinionated and intelligent. A lot of my aunts and uncles are wildly educated, and their opinions reflect that. We're all very liberal.

Chris Evans

From Drew Barrymore to Robert Downey Jr., there's a long list of people who have faced their troubles, wildly overcome them, and succeeded.

Chris Pine

The facts of Watergate have been wildly exaggerated.

Conrad Black

I don't need to be wildly famous for my life to make sense.

Cory Monteith

Imprisoned in every fat man a thin man is wildly signaling to be let out.

Cyril Connolly

Each day I wake up and check the news. Nearly every day it's merely to make sure I did not miss anything wildly controversial. Who said what, what are the implications of that comment, what was the context of what was said? Some days are slow, which is great. We can focus on a particular policy issue or piece of legislation.

Dan Crenshaw

I think good things are happening to me and will continue. I am not optimistic about the rest of the species, but I'm so blessed, it's almost scary. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I have a wildly sunny disposition. I love to laugh.

Daniel Gilbert

People who are deep thinkers, who have sort of a weird way of looking at the universe, are wildly attractive to me.

David Harbour

The Duffer Brothers are so attentive to story and detail while being wildly respectful of me and what I bring to the process.

David Harbour

The Cold War was wildly expensive and consumed the entire globe.

David Remnick

My salary swings an unbelievable amount. When I had Holly, I took seven months off, so my salary was very low. It fluctuates wildly. No one pays you for the period you spend writing. I am certainly not rich.

Deirdre O'Kane

You don't have to be born beautiful to be wildly attractive.

Diana Vreeland

When things begin accelerating wildly out of control, sometimes patience is the only answer. Press pause.

Douglas Rushkoff

The avant-garde theater is fun; it is free-swinging, bold, iconoclastic, and often wildly, wildly funny. If you will approach it with childlike innocence - putting your standard responses aside, for they do not apply - if you will approach it on its own terms, I think you will be in for a liberating surprise.

Edward Albee

'Sesame Street' was built on the idea that a show that could capture a child's attention could also give the child an education. That idea turned out to be wildly successful.

Elizabeth Flock

I think most things I read on the Internet and in newspapers are propaganda. Everyone from the 'New York Times' to Rupert Murdoch has a point of view and is putting forth their own propaganda. They're stuck with the facts as they are, but the way they interpret and frame them is wildly different.

Frank Miller

I did some research once on the way people in the past imagined the year 2000. They tended to picture the things they already had getting more sophisticated - flying cars, self-cleaning windows. And the folks in the early 1900s had a wildly optimistic estimate of the future of pneumatic tubes.

Gail Collins

I have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.

Geddy Lee

My dad was a film professor, so he would take me to wildly inappropriate movies.

Gillian Flynn

My mother told me I was dancing before I was born. She could feel my toes tapping wildly inside her for months.

Ginger Rogers

Oprah is wildly successful, and she's a brilliant businesswoman. She's also somebody who's overcome a ton of demons in her own life, and that's really what shaped her. I think the same could be said for me.

Glenn Beck

As ridiculous as I think the fashion and beauty industry is, I'm wildly obsessed with it.

Grace Helbig

Every movie is wildly different. So many of the problems are the same, but they take on different guises.

Griffin Dunne

Everyone has something that defines them, whether they're wildly intelligent or whether they have really big feet.

Gwendoline Christie

I don't concentrate on any one period of history; I like to locate my stories in wildly different eras and places. I seem to be drawn to large, sprawling, uncomfortable swaths of American history, finding embedded within them a tight narrative that involves strife, heroism, and survival under difficult circumstances.

Hampton Sides

I can be wildly enthusiastic and want to try to do everything that I feel would be useful and educational and beneficial - but I've crashed and burned a few times.

Jack Monroe

To describe Peter Thiel as simply a libertarian wildly understates the case. His belief system is based on unapologetic selfishness and economic Darwinism.
