Folks, just a few minutes of my voice can change a life.
Ideally, we date the folks who are dating for the same reason we are.
I think poor folks are the only people who cannot afford – financially and otherwise – to be sick.
I think good publicists are just like good mommies – always looking out, making sure folks are comfortable and making sure that folks are on time and making sure that folks are getting what they need and know what they need to do.
Folks, it’s okay to find flamboyant homosexuality funny.
I don’t think it’s appropriate for people who are citizens of Massachusetts to be waiting in line when folks who aren’t citizens access benefits.
If you’re not geographically diverse, it’s hard to even speak a language that makes sense to folks in faraway places. That’s especially a problem in the West, where voters have always mistrusted the federal government.
My interest as an artist is to illuminate the lives of black folks. I definitely am focused on films that illustrate all that we are and all our nuance and all our complicated beauty and mess, and when you’re telling those stories, you gotta have black actors.
I’ve got a bulletin for you, folks. I am no superman. I realize that now, but I didn’t always.
To improve the standard of living for working folks, we have to raise the minimum wage and empower workers to fight for their interests in an economic and political system that’s stacked against them.
Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.
Once it’s out there in the universe, it’s serving its purpose, and I’m proud to have other folks hear the music that I was a part of making.
I’m not saying that photographers are dumber than other people, but they are the folks who walk around with brilliant white lights in nighttime riots.
The perception a lot of folks have of the Clintons, even folks who are Democrats, see the Clintons as bending the rules.
Jeremy Stoppelman started Yelp. Max Levchin started Slide. I started LinkedIn. It was a mininova explosion of folks jumping out to doing other entrepreneurial activities.
I’m all about black folks working together and progressing together.
I hope that folks that look like me, regardless candidly of their political affiliation, not only look at me and say that, you know, I want to vote for him at the ballot box, but also make the decision that perhaps they want to put their name up for public service and for public office.
There’s more student debt than credit card debt! Everywhere I go, I run into young people trying to build careers while they keep shelling out money on their education loans. If the economy is looking for a new generation of home-buyers, I can’t imagine they’ll get it from these folks.
Church gives people a sense of community, a sense of how to behave… social support when times get tough. In a world where white working class folks are going to church less and less, they’re losing that when they might really need it.
I get double-takes at the hardware store. I’ve had people say, ‘I didn’t know you did this.’ With a celebrity, if folks don’t see you, they think all you do is stay in the house.
The American people need to know that there are folks here fighting as hard as they can for individual liberty, economic freedom, appropriate national security and the fundamental moral values that have made our nation the greatest nation in the history of mankind.
Folks, I’ve had the best seat in the house. Thanks for sharing it, I’ll see you down the road.
Strength of 100 men? I’d probably just get mad and hurt somebody and end up in jail. I think invisibility would probably be the best thing. I could be like, ‘You know what, let me just see what these folks are talking about over here.’ Then you could sneak into Rams cheerleaders’ locker room.
I started doing some demos and got online and bought a refurbished laptop, bought a microphone off of eBay. A lot of folks said you can’t really do it that way at a pro level, but I did some vocals that way, turned it into the label and they said, ‘Wow, where did you record this? The vocals sound great!’
I love pens, especially when writing on good-quality paper. But I don’t have a favorite – I try all kinds in all colors. Like most folks, I misplace them a lot, so I don’t use anything too fancy.
There’s a lot of twisted folks and folks who don’t stay true to who they are that can sometimes get led astray by work or by certain people pulling strings to make you be someone you don’t want to be.
I am running because I believe strongly that we need to get folks back to work and address the needs that the folks in the 1st Congressional District have in terms of employment and economic opportunity.
I’ve never known more Jesus-serving, Jesus-loving, people-loving, people-serving folks on earth than right here in my hometown of Houston, Texas.
Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have left me.
I understood my path and what I meant to the game and what I mean to kids. Not only kids, but individuals around the world. Folks that didn’t think that the game was meant for smaller people. For me, I always felt that, tall or small, the game was for all.
Now, anybody who thinks that we can move this economy forward with just a few folks at the top doing well, hoping that it’s going to trickle down to working people who are running faster and faster just to keep up, you’ll never see it.
Well, I think every now and again, some people deserve to get their butts chewed. Every now and again some people deserve a pat on the back. What I try and do is compliment folk who deserve a compliment, and chew folks out who deserve to be chewed out.
There are definitely – there is definitely an element of Donald Trump’s support that has its basis in racism or xenophobia. But a lot of these folks are just really hardworking people who are struggling in really important ways.
For me, I write some songs that are really important to me, and I’ve got some feedback where some of them help folks and inspire people.
I say to folks all the time, ‘Watch what you’re eating. You don’t have to eat it all. Make conscious choices. It doesn’t mean you have to starve yourself and eat carrots all day.’ Have an awareness.
My parents have always been very supportive. But now that I play in Blink, all of my parents’ friends are so jazzed that it makes my folks excited.
I want to go to Washington to make sure we really have an opportunity to expand health care for folks so that is accessible to them.
My record proves that I don’t make political or public-service decisions based on what typical folks in Washington do, which is, ‘What’s going to get me past the next election, or what’s best for my career?’
Equal rights for women and queer folks!
I don’t want folks with pre-existing medical conditions – like asthma and diabetes – to be denied health care. I sure don’t want to see our grandparents paying more for prescription drugs and women paying more just because of their gender.
It’s true that eviction affects the young and the old, the sick and the able-bodied. It affects white folks and black folks and Hispanic folks and immigrants. If you spend time in housing court, you see a really diverse array of folks there.
I think there’s just one kind of folks. Folks.
The best work for creative folks on the team is when the problem is big and the solution escapes everyone.
I grew my dreadlocks 12 years ago because they give me the freedom to roll out of bed and not spend hours on my woolly, thick hair. I get tons of dropped jaws and compliments, so I reckon folks like them all right.
If you have a fantastic idea you’re really passionate about and are making $100,000 in your job, if you can set aside some of that to invest in servers or contractors or other folks, that’s actually the best way to start a business in my opinion.
I’ve had a lot of folks tell me that my songs weren’t quite country because they didn’t really sound like anybody that had come along and done it before me. I felt a little out of place for a while.
It’s been a while since I’ve written a novel aimed at the adult market, but I never sit down and say to myself, ‘Okay, now I’m going to write something for us old folks.’ I get gripped by an idea, and I go where the idea takes me.
I was one of the early folks at eBay, and by 1999, it was completely overrun by consultants from McKinsey, Bain, and BCG. It went from being a cool, fun startup to an MBA factory.
Folks don’t like to have somebody around knowing more than they do.
Old folks have dreams and ambitions too, like everybody else. Don’t sit on a couch someplace.
A lot of us lead relatively sedentary lifestyles, so you have to motivate yourself and force yourself to go to the gym and do active things. The folks that have figured it out, found that thing that they love and made it a big part of their lives, it’s easy for them to stay in shape.
As black folks we’re always sensitive. As a black person it’s always racial.
I believe in my race, colour. I never felt inferior to anyone. Maybe that’s why the folks who made me feel that way, may think Vivian Richards is the most arrogant guy on earth, but no. I bat for human beings, equal rights.
Both of my folks were into art. My dad was an art collector, my mom had a little kiln in our basement, and we would make pottery. I think from about age five on, they sent me to art classes, and I was a huge colorer.
