Tommy Smothers is a hero of mine.

Penn Jillette

It's called 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius' by Dave Eggers. It is absolutely everything the title implies. It's the greatest book I've ever.

Justin Hartley

I went to Dave Eggers with this idea of doing a movie about a guy going through some sort of Frank Capra-esque journey.

John Krasinski

I'm influenced by Jennifer Egan, Dave Eggers, David Foster Wallace: writers who are often not content to just stack paragraphs and have to break out of that.

Jesse Andrews

I once told Tommy Smothers, 'If I could just get the money and the women straightened out, the rest of my life would be easy.'

Pat Paulsen

I regretted making a comment about Dave Eggers. I’ve never said anything about McSweeneys except that I admire what it is, and I think it’s great that they keep people interested in literature.

James Frey

Given the current state of publishing, I think it helps to have a brand name on the cover of your book. Comedians are proven commodities with built-in audiences. They may not have the writing chops of a Dave Eggers, but they're salacious and funny and self-reflective.

Michael Showalter

'Where The Wild Things Are,' I think I could have written on my own. When I brought Dave Eggers on, I already had 60 pages of notes. I technically could have, but I don't think I was ready to. I needed him to be there and help me.

Spike Jonze

Dave Eggers is a prince among men when it comes to writing deeply felt, socially conscious books that meld reportage with fiction. While A Hologram for the King is fiction...it's a strike against the current state of global economic injustice.

Elissa Schappell

There's Tommy, Tommy Lee the rock star, and Tommy the dad. I'm wearing several hats these days.

Tommy Lee

O it's Tommy this, and Tommy that, and Tommy 'ow's your soul/But it's thin red line of heroes when the drums begin to roll.

Rudyard Kipling

No self-respecting feminist could argue with the claim that the novel is more likely to accept existing power structures than not. But there's a vast difference, surely, between Dickens saying Indians should be exterminated and a Dave Eggers writing eloquently about the NSA, but not being as outspoken on American military power abroad.

Kamila Shamsie

I've gone from being one of the youngest governors to now the longest consecutive serving governor in the country.

John Engler

I found a great mentor early on in my career, Dave Duffield - a legendary software innovator, great individual, and a wonderful leader and human being.

Aneel Bhusri

There is a considerable amount of content to what made Tommy End Tommy End and what makes Aleister Black Aleister Black, but there are a lot of similarities. I sometimes feel like Tommy End shed his skin and became Aleister Black. I truly feel that in WWE Tommy End could become Aleister Black.

Aleister Black

I want my first son to be called 'Tommy.' It will sound great, Tommy Tomlinson

Louis Tomlinson
