Ultimately, I'm in the fitness industry. But, I've branched out from there quite a bit. I began doing consulting on writing and getting published in magazines in about 2011. Right around that time, I started doing some angel investing and looking to grow my skills and general experience outside of that. Votes: 1 John Romaniello

Votes: 1 Adam Hochschild

We had an amazing songwriting session together, connecting. Votes: 1 Steve Aoki

I have an odd theory on happiness, and it bothers people. My general theory is that happiness is a reward for an animal doing what it should be doing. So if a horse runs, it feels happy.

For this I am grateful. Votes: 1 Clayton Christensen

So the history of discovery, particularly cosmic discovery, but discovery in general, scientific discovery, is one where at any given moment, there's a frontier.

Votes: 1 Neil deGrasse Tyson

As I prepare for my second term as Secretary-General, I am thinking hard about how we can meet the expectations of the millions of people who see the U.N.'s blue flag as a banner of hope. We have to continue our life-saving work in peacekeeping, human rights, development and humanitarian relief. Votes: 1 Ban Ki-moon

The sight of allegedly sophisticated politicians parroting complete tripe trivialises and demeans government and it has to be stopped.

Votes: 1 John Major

I personally think a fight scene is the most cinematic thing you can witness because all the elements of filmmaking come together, you know, with the camera speed changes, editing, make up effects and general smoke and mirrors of trying to make it look like you are hitting someone when you're not. It's filmmaking in it's purest form, I think. Votes: 1 Scott Adkins
I grew up in a time when people believed in duty, honor and country. My grandfathers were both officers. My father was a General in the Air Force. My brother and I were both in the Army.

Both my wife and I have a lot of compassion for animals in general. Votes: 1 Biz Stone

Denmark as a country has always looked up to England. I've always felt that British actors are fantastic. There's a strong theatre tradition in your country, and that is reflected in TV and film as well. We've always thought that for crime series, you were the masters, and the general feeling the Danes have of British drama is that it's excellent. Votes: 1 Birgitte Hjort Sorensen

I love British voicing and British humour in general. I'm a huge Ricky Gervais fan. Votes: 1 McG

Votes: 1 Bernie Sanders
I've been in and out of Wall Street since 1949, and I've never seen the type of animosity between government and Wall Street.
