It's one thing to never accomplish anything. You start from the bottom, you remain at the bottom, and all you know is the bottom.

Jordan Burroughs

It is true that the top quintile is getting richer while the bottom is getting poorer, but the bottom is not the same people.

Dan Chaon

People say they start from the bottom. If you want to see someone who's started from the bottom, go and look at my career. My first 10 fights, I think I paid for them myself. I've fought three times in one month.

Dillian Whyte

The bottom feeders of the entertainment industry were never invited to presidential inaugurations. The bottom feeders of the entertainment were never used as fundraisers for presidents of the United States. They were ignored. There was always a line. They were always there, and they were always who they were, and they always did what they did. The bottom feeders have now become the standard. That's what's different.

Rush Limbaugh

Gloria Steinem

In the general sense, there's a journey to be had. You either start at the top or the bottom for a journey to happen. Our movie has to start at the top and work it's way down. Or start at the bottom and work it's way up.
