Patrick Carney

Things are very rudimentary as far as women's rights really go here, and it seems fine, but once you start scraping the surface, you start to see the ripple effect of how not having equal rights is so detrimental and how many mothers are single parents trying to raise their families.

Patricia Arquette

When I'm writing, quite often I start having a good time when I see there's a chance to make myself look like a real jerk. I start chuckling and having an interesting, rather than a boring, time.

Geoff Dyer

The first day I start shooting, I start having a recurring nightmare that every single night that I am lying in bed, and there is a film crew surrounding the bed, waiting for me to tell them what to do, and I don't quite know what movie I am supposed to be making.

Peter Jackson

Once you start bombing in Syria, when you start looking for targets, there will be a lot.

Richard Engel

Once you start to listen to your voice, you start to feel the power in that.

Shiri Appleby

Once you start succeeding, you start dreaming big. For me, it was that way.

Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw

Auctomatic was a compressed start-up experience, going from start to launch to acquisition in under a year. We spent a long time building the product before getting our first customer, whereas with Stripe we made sure we had paying customers from the very start.
