"What I've realized is that the stuff I've used that glowing orb of amusement to acquire--status, fame, power, money, fulfillment of dreams--is all meaningless and transient, and what I'm wondering is, can I, whilst now in the belly of the beast, the eye of the storm, swim through it all, cut my way free like Jonah, and discover something valuable and escape with something worthwhile? I don't know.."
Pop Culture Icon and Actor, Russell Brand, Rolling Stone, June 17, 2010.

"Anything that's good in my life is because of my faith. A lot of people get in trouble, go to jail and find God, and the minute they don't need God anymore, they're gone. But I spend a good portion of my day thanking God for all the blessings that have been bestowed on me. If it all ended today, I'd be happy. I've had such an amazing journey."
Actor, Mark Wahlberg. Time Magazine, August 16, 2010. |

Star of Heroes, Hayden Panettiere, on regrets in high school. Seventeen Magazine, August, 2009.

"It's fine to talk about love publicly but I think when you talk about [my] virginity and sex publicly, people just automatically picture you maked. And as much as I can prevent people picture me naked, I'm going to."
Pop Country Starlet, Taylor Swift, on people's infatuation with her sexuality. Allue Magazine, April, 2009.
