Independence : (1244) " ‘Grandmother’ doesn’t mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren. " - Carine Roitfeld " Quit shouting those rerun songs at me. " - Wesley Willis " Trying to guess what the (mass) audience wants and then trying to satisfy that is usually a bad recipe for getting something good. " - Aaron Sorkin " Everyone’s style is different, but I have a lot of things in my game the people don’t know. " - Cris Cyborg " My parents weren’t actors or studio executives. " - Dwayne Johnson " Mothers don’t want to pinch me or put me in their purse. " - Paul Lynde " Honestly, in retrospect, it probably was a little easier being an adolescent and not having people immediately know that Hef was my dad. " - Christie Hefner " There’s something different about growing up black and Muslim, especially in New Jersey. It’s like when I left the mosque and I left my dad, I felt unprotected, but I also felt a weird sense of pride, like I was involved in this other way of living that was cool to me. " - SZA " I so think it’s limiting to define an audience ahead of time. This is something I’ve brought on myself by being like, ‘There are no ‘real’ teen publications! That’s what I’ll do!’ But then it’s like, well, if I want ‘Rookie’ to be successful and popular, then people will invalidate the realness by saying it’s popular and mainstream. " - Tavi Gevinson " I never want my children to ever feel like they need to be a SEAL, or that they need to go into medicine, or be an astronaut in order to please me – because I don’t think that’s very fair. I just want them to live their own lives. I don’t hesitate at every opportunity to remind my children of that. " - Jonny Kim
