Taavet Hinrikus Building a business is a marathon, not a sprint. I don’t believe it when people tell me they’ve been working 80-hour weeks for five years in a row. I just don’t think that’s possible. – Taavet Hinrikus
Suzanne Collins I sort of half read Thomas Hardy’s ‘The Mayor of Casterbridge.’ It was assigned in 10th grade, and I just couldn’t get into it. About seven years later, I rediscovered Hardy and consumed four of his novels in a row. – Suzanne Collins
Susanna Reid On average, a prisoner in the U.S. spends around ten years on Death Row before execution. – Susanna Reid

Susan Burton People are released from prison so unprepared. They give you $200. We call it gate money. And you have to pay for a bus ticket back to L.A. You get off the Greyhound bus, downtown Skid Row, and you’re supposed to make a life from that. – Susan Burton
Sue Bird When you’re losing, and you’re losing again, and you’re losing 3… 4… 5 games in a row, it can be frustrating. – Sue Bird

Steven Tyler I had been on the junior Olympic team in high school for trampoline; I could do twenty-six back flips in a row. – Steven Tyler
Steven Hall I’m such a magpie. I’ll get halfway through one thing and pick up something else. I always have 5 or 6 books open and spine-up by my bed: it’s like a row of tents. I don’t finish nearly as many books as I should. – Steven Hall
Steven Curtis Chapman I’ve been here 21 years, and I literally did walk up and down Music Row trying to break into the business. I felt very free to go into any publishing company. – Steven Curtis Chapman
Steve Southerland I think voters appreciate that I’m not sitting in the back row, waiting for my turn. – Steve Southerland
