I was in acting classes from the age of 9, dance classes, music classes - my mom put a lot of energy and attention into me, so no matter what happened in my life, I always had this basis of discipline. So I really worked hard for everything I had from a very early age.

Milla Jovovich

Making art is complicated because the categories are always changing. You just have to make your own art, and whatever categories it falls into will come later.

Frank Stella

We in the Western world suffer from too many categories and classes; we've forgotten that we all still have diapers on. We've separated music from life.

In bypassing barriers between different classes, maturities, rating categories, debt seniority levels and so on, credit derivatives are creating enormous opportunities to exploit and profit from associated discontinuities in the pricing of credit risk.

Blythe Masters

You watch an old 'Jeopardy!' and the categories alone are very plain. 'Poetry,' or 'Movies,' or 'Physics.' If you watch it now, though, there'll be a theme board where the categories are all Hitchcock movies. Lots more jokes, lots more high-concept categories and questions.

Ken Jennings

The left and right are not religious categories. They're often not even value categories.

Jim Wallis

I tend to not want to put labels or categories on the music, only because people come with preconceived ideas about what they're going to hear, or won't come for this reason.

Chuck Mangione

Tecia Torres
