Toby Young Zitate

In Britain, by contrast, we still think that class plays a part in determining a person's life chances, so we're less inclined to celebrate success and less inclined to condemn failure. The upshot is that it's much easier to be a failure in Britain than it is in America.

Deutsche Übersetzung

In Großbritannien dagegen glauben wir immer noch, dass die Klasse eine Rolle bei der Bestimmung der Lebenschancen einer Person spielt, so dass wir weniger dazu neigen, Erfolge zu feiern, und weniger dazu neigen, Misserfolge zu verurteilen. Das Ergebnis ist, dass es in Großbritannien viel einfacher ist, ein Versager zu sein als in Amerika.

I could have taken the easy life and just done classical, but I felt very strongly about the album, my first pop album, the first time that I'd fused so many influences. I was very proud when it was in the charts in 25 countries at once.

In the case of Elektra I really wasn't sure I could pull it off. There were so many intellectual leaps. My character, Stick, is blind, but he can see better than most people. So I had trouble kind of finding the logic.

About 10,000 people a day go on first dates from Match... We're trying to celebrate that, bring those success stories to the forefront and make it even easier in our product to meet up at Starbucks.

Due to my business commitments, I am faced with time constraints and have not been able to personally spend as much time as I would like on my causes. These efforts are handled by my team of several people.

Arnold has succeeded at every level, and I believe he is the only person that can unite the people of this state and lead California from its current dysfunctional condition to the bright future that all residents long for.
