A series of studies in the 1990s and 2000s revealed that as women gained more access to education, jobs, and birth control, they had fewer children. As a result, developed countries in western Europe, Japan, and the Americas were seeing zero or negative population growth.
My father is the man that, he will give you what he doesn’t have, still. If he has 10 bucks and you need 10 bucks because you’re sick or you don’t have nothing to eat, he will give you 10 bucks. He will be at zero, but he will help you. That’s the kind of man that my father is.
I think anything that happens to you between the ages of zero to 18, and probably further on, has a lasting impact on you.

Some of the stories I admire seem to zero in on one particular time and place. There isn’t a rule about this. But there’s a tidy sense about many stories I read. In my own work, I tend to cover a lot of time and to jump back and forward in time, and sometimes the way I do this is not very straightforward.
I have zero desire, just so you know, to be in the limelight. I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a former president criticize his successor. You’re not going to see me giving my opinions in the public arena, until I start selling my book. I’m going to emerge then submerge.
In the beginning, it was quite challenging because I had zero acting experience, and delivering dialogues was the most difficult thing for me to do. But after I began to act, I grew as an artiste.
When I was racing, I had learned that you can’t set stock in public adoration or your press clippings. By the time I was 26, I’d heard crowds of 100,000 scream my name, but a week later they couldn’t remember who I was. You’re a hero today and a bum tomorrow – hero to zero, I sometimes say.
I have no desire to be president of the United States. Zero desire. I don’t think that I would be electable. And there are far too many people that are far smarter than me to be president. I’d like to find one with some honor and integrity. I haven’t seen them yet, but they’ll show up.

Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year, over 26 billion tons. For each American, it’s about 20 tons. For people in poor countries, it’s less than one ton. It’s an average of about five tons for everyone on the planet. And, somehow, we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero.

The plan wasn’t to rap. So, I got out for a year. I got back in the streets, back out here. Then, it wasn’t workin’, like, I kept going broke. I kept finding myself back at zero. I kept finding myself in trouble, so I told Durk, ‘I’m ready to rap now. I’m ready.’

Abstraction is everybody’s zero but nobody’s nought.
With ‘Batman,’ I actually had a really bad period when we started ‘Zero Year,’ right at the beginning, I just wasn’t taking care of myself at all. I was up too late all the time, I was working too hard. I wasn’t exercising.

‘The Producers’ is my favorite movie, and my favorite performances of all time are Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder, and I feel like I strive to be a combination of those two guys.
I don’t think of my books as being biographies. I never had any interest in doing a book just to write the life of a great man. I had zero interest in that. My interest is in power. How power works.
The USDA labs in Ames, Iowa, are level-four security clearance. Every nasty thing you can imagine is stored there. Ground zero for the apocalypse. And there’s a day care right across the street.

I think you don’t have to be size zero to prove yourself… to connect with the audience.
‘Eclipse’ is overlong and overly self-conscious, but it isn’t a fake or a zero; it just gets exhausting. It raises a crucial question: ‘When does Concept morph into Gimmick?’

I try to help the team. It doesn’t matter if you have to score 50 points or zero.

They go on about banning size zero, but I think Hollywood stars are the worst perpetrators. Most models are naturally long and gangly, while a lot of these young girls in Hollywood have gone on extreme diets. Their concave chests and bony arms are terrifying. It’s scary to think that normal teenagers are tempted to copy them.
I went public in 2002 in America, and do you know what Wall Street valued my concession in Macau at? Zero.

We have a rich tradition here in the United States of great decathletes, which is amazing ’cause we have absolutely no program to develop these guys. Zero. There’s nothing. They do it on their own, just like I did back in ’76.
In city after city, newspaper after newspaper has diminished its staff of critics, sometimes to zero. Film and T.V. critics have been dropped and not replaced. Maybe they’re deemed unnecessary because nobody cares if anything’s good or not.
