I've always been pretty ravenous about pop culture, highbrow and lowbrow.

St. Vincent

'Bad' health, in a thousand different forms, is used as an excuse for failing to do what a person wants to do, failing to accept greater responsibilities, failing to make more money, failing to achieve success.

David Joseph Schwartz

With the feminist movement - a good movement which I support - there's been more overt criticism of the male, an attitude that men are failing to understand the finer nature of women, failing to appreciate their needs, failing to support them, failing to be compassionate.

I think musicals are a lowbrow, populist art form. And I don't mean lowbrow in a condescending way at all - they are designed to create delight, wonder, joy, surprise. And what becomes really interesting is when innovative or challenging or smart people take it and use the easy runway that the form allows to take people to another planet, or another place. Or subvert it in some way.

George C. Wolfe

Jay Samit

John Green

I was talking and playing pranks and skipping school, failing pretty much every class I took.

Tig Notaro

Passing out while you try to kill yourself is like failing at failing.

Maddox

There's something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process.

David Walliams

You are going to fail, and failing, for me, is as joyful as succeeding. Failing means that there is something to learn, and we can improve and do it better next time.

Sebastian Thrun

What's great about teen fiction is that it's all mixed up - there's highbrow and lowbrow!

Kaui Hart Hemmings

Because in life, the question is not if you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with them. Stop failing backward and start failing forward!
