Recount was the first thing I sold, and I actually sold it as a pitch to HBO. They bought it as a pitch, which was a miracle. I thought, "Wow, this could be the last time I'll be paid to write a script again, which would be too bad because that was an amazing experience I just had."

Ted Cruz

The first step into justice begins with the politicians. You have to demand from yourself what you demand from people.

Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj

I made so many mistakes in my first successful business I'm almost embarrassed to recount them.
