Justin Trudeau

Seven out of 10 Americans know the country's headed in the wrong direction, that in a very real sense that this is a clear choice between change in the status quo and I've always been telling crowds, the other side says if you like your status quo you can keep it.

Americans don't like any form of art, man. All they like to do is make money. They don't like me, Sammy Davis, or anybody else. They don't like nothing. They just like Sammy because he can make 'em a lot of money.

Actors are citizens like any other person in the country. People idolize them and follow their activities. So, our involvement in social services comes from this feeling of social commitment and responsibility. We don't do all this to be in the news.

Poonam Dhillon

I think you could get a good accountant, but I think I am the best accountant for me. Can't nobody count my money like I can count it.

We package everything as a product so we can derive income from it. Then we can occupy ourselves with higher-order psychological lifestyle things. This is a very new issue. Money still matters, but other factors have joined the status game - like how interesting, how meaningful your work is.
