We're the Fascist States of America today, not the United States of America, because the corporations are in power.
I've been thinking a lot about the speed and spectacle in today's fashion industry, because they seem to mirror stresses in other creative fields.
The market is fast-moving, fast-growing. Things that are true today may not be true tomorrow.
The worst pandemic in modern history was the Spanish flu of 1918, which killed tens of millions of people. Today, with how interconnected the world is, it would spread faster.
In the tech-savvy, real-time world we all live in today, everything is faster.
Today, as never before, the fates of men are so intimately linked to one another that a disaster for one is a disaster for everybody.
I think in today's society we are dealing with an epidemic of fatherless homes. We're turning everywhere else for people to be fathered.
I made observations for three hours last night, and am almost ill today from fatigue; still I have worked all day, trying to reduce the places, and mean to work hard again tonight.
The young people we hire today at Conde Nast are fearless polymaths.
There's something missing in the music industry today... and it's music. Songs you hear don't last, it's just product fed to you by the industry.
Especially today, given the tight fiscal situation that many States and localities face, the use of transportation facilities that pay for themselves without additional Federal funding is essential.
I think parents today are looking for meaningful things for their kid. It's about feeding them something with meaning.

Sometimes I want to just pull the off switch, but you can't because if you go outside, you have to give people your all. You can't say, 'Oh, you know what? I'm not feeling good today.' No. No one's trying to hear that. When a woman comes up to you and says, 'Hey, my daughter's your biggest fan. Can we have a picture?' - you can't say no.
Second, we will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance.
There aren't enough good roles for strong women. I wish we had more female writers. Most of the female characters you see in films today are the 'poor heartbroken girl.'

I can't imagine that I would be the person I am today if, over the last seven years, I had been married to somebody who didn't feel 100 percent comfortable with my drive, my ambition, my interest in thinking big and swinging for the fences.
I have two or three cars that I like, but today, Ferrari would be the best car I have driven in terms of being an impressive car.
Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man, my fiance Ashanti, whom I've been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me, I'm just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me.
