Experience has taught me that any kind of political grouping is oppressive. It’s the blind mass that crushes the individual. – Gao Xingjian
People have lots of misconceptions about me. My mum, who is half French and half Spanish, gets outraged when I’m called quintessentially English.

To me, the real ‘state of the union’ is found in how Americans react to current events. – Henry Rollins

At a European auto show, I had someone from a German car company come up to me and say the Karma should cost $125,000, not $87,900, but our development process lets us lower the costs. I guarantee it’s profitable. – Henrik Fisker
I am pushed by my critics. I don’t want to say I want to prove them wrong, but it pushes me on the field to play with a chip on my shoulder, and I play best when I have a chip on my shoulder. – Hope Solo
