Something like 80 per cent of business decisions have a location element. In fact, it’s probably higher than that.
When you use Google, do you get more than one answer? Of course you do. Well, that’s a bug. We have more bugs per second in the world. We should be able to give you the right answer just once. We should know what you meant.
Ninety per cent of my family are hairdressers, and the other 10% are construction workers.
I know I’m an oddball given that today 90 per cent of all human beings are extremely social, and I, for one, am a part of a profession which is not perceived to be for introverts, but I enjoy my personal space.
What an economy really wants, after all, is not more investment per se but better investment. It wants capital to flow to companies that will create value – not in the form of a rising stock price but in the form of more goods for less cost, more jobs, and rising wages – by enhancing productivity.
I make the majority of my money from Patron, but my passion is with Paul Mitchell: I spend 85 per cent of my time on it.
Ninety per cent of the crew that work with me are there since my childhood and which is why I do not want to work too much outside – because the people I work with are as important for me as my role.
I don’t have an idol per se.
It takes these very simple-minded instructions – ‘Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it’s greater than this other number’ – but executes them at a rate of, let’s say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.

I am damn good. I am doing all this for Egypt and nothing else. I reject 70 per cent of media interviews while these people who accuse me are running after them.
Washington, D.C., has a much greater risk than Manchester, N.H. They both need some level of funding, but they ought not to be done per capita. Congress is to blame for some of this.
I don’t sit down to write a song, per se.
I am happy with the way I hit the ball. There is a certain element of power into it but not completely. It is like 80 per cent timing and 20 per cent power. Why do I need power hitting when I can clear the ropes with timing?
IPL is pure sport. The glitz and glamour is just 15 per cent. 85% is actually professional, hard cricket.
On ‘Awake,’ we would take a couple hours per scene. Whereas on ‘Anger Management,’ we can take maybe 10 minutes on a scene if we’re lucky.

Despite living in this post-9/11 age of transnational terrorism, the risk of death during air travel has plummeted to the point where we now measure it in the ‘per billions’ of passengers.
I train for six days in a week for eight to ten hours of practice per day.
There is a legitimate concern about wealth distribution in the United States, but the answer is not to scapegoat any individual who makes over $200,000 per year and to try to sell the fraud that the government can equitably take the money of those who have earned it and give it to those who haven’t.
When I set my eyes on the gold at the world championships, I was able to maintain that focus that whole day. That’s what I aim to do in Rio – my focus is gold, so I can keep in that good state; I can’t get too complacent. I can’t relax; I can’t be content. I need to be 100 per cent switched on.
We are a country of excess. So it’s not the violence, per se, but the exacerbation and constant repetition.
Some of the authorities would like to remove rhythmic gymnastics from the list of Olympic sports and turn it into art. I think this would be wrong, as rhythmic gymnastics is a true sport – we train around six hours per day and sometimes spend entire days in the gym.

I realized my life was not going to be, per se, normal.
So tonight I propose one more step that I would rather not propose. I ask the most fortunate among us, those citizens earning over $100,000 per year, for one year, to pay an additional one percent on the income they receive.
I always find that, when it comes to writing songs, if the melody and the chords are working, we’re 90 per cent there.
Investment banks started recruiting at Harvard back in the day, and they’d fly me down to New York City and I was so poor so I would take advantage of the free flight, the per diem, the hotel. And then I would go audition for stuff.
Oil wells never really run dry. A big company will drain maybe 40% of a field. Pulling out the rest of the oil, which requires an outlay of incrementally more cash per barrel, often proves uneconomical for big companies with big overheads.

I’m not saying M.B.A.s can’t be great entrepreneurs. They can. But you don’t need a degree to figure out it’s costing you $5,000 per month to run your business, so you need $30,000 to keep it going for six more months.

IVF is very commercial. The people doing it are among the best-paid in medicine: they charge a lot per treatment and it’s not in their interest to make it more effective. Having people fail means that they come back again.
Mesh networking is an old idea. Oddly enough, the low-cost XO Laptop built by the ‘One Laptop Per Child’ organization – the so-called $100 laptop – was designed with built-in mesh networking. The idea with the XO machine was that many kids using those laptops would be out in rural areas without reliable Internet access.
Today, India consumes about 682 watts per capita, far lesser than developed nations. As India develops, it will definitely require a lot more energy.
New country music comprises about five percent of what I hear per year. I enjoy it, but I don’t really take note of who’s singing it or writing it.
Here’s the truth. The proposed top rate of income tax is not 50 per cent. It is 50 per cent plus 1.5 per cent national insurance paid by employees plus 13.3 per cent paid by employers.
