Success in Silicon Valley, most would agree, is more merit-driven than almost any other place in the world.

If your idea rocks and you can execute, you can change the world and/or get really, stinking rich.
It’s racist to teach children to treat other children differently because of their skin color.
Our internal racism is still alive. We are still putting each other down and making jokes about each other because of the color of our skin. With women particularly, it’s difficult because the beauty business says, ‘If you don’t look a certain way, God made a mistake.’

Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
We are prophetic interrogators. Why are so many people hungry? Why are so many people and families in our shelters? Why do we have one of six of our children poor, and one of three of these are children of color? ‘Why?’ is the prophetic question.

Along the way, let’s never forget that once we were children and that we were all playing together without distinction of skin color, society level, or where people come from.

The best anti-aging product is a great, natural-looking hair color, especially when you’re graying.
Children go with whatever makes them feel good – like if that’s the color green or orange, they do that with their clothes. As I’ve grown older, everything reversed. My music, my personality – onstage those things became my colors.
I think ‘Two Towers’ is a completely distinct film from ‘Fellowship of the Ring’ or ‘Return of the King.’ I think that you can watch them as a group and watch how the story evolves, but I think each one was made in its own entirety, and each one has its own palate of sound and music and color and characterization.
Well, my favorite color I guess I would say yellow.
The colors I choose there was to paint the first hotel, the Disneyland Hotel. Because of the cloudy sky we had in Paris, it had to be a particular kind of color who will fight those grey days. And also something you can see when you’re driving up ‘There it is! We’re arriving!’
I’m so hands-on, from the color of my tour bus to what I eat for dinner at 5 or the way the lights are hung.

Seeing Michelle Obama’s bright color choices, and how she made people smile and reinforced Obama’s platforms of hope and change, was inspiring.

A great way to get all the right nutrients is to make a colorful plate – mix of good vegetables, carbohydrates, and protein. If you notice all your vegetables are green, change it up and add another color for a variety of benefits in one meal.
My hair is not really white; it’s kind of grayish, and I don’t like the color. So I make it totally white with Klorane dry shampoo. That is the best thing to do because my hair is always clean.
I would hope more people would have optimism about where the Latino has come. How we have emerged, and that there will be more women, women of color especially Latinas who will get involved.

When I was asked to compose a score for… ‘Palo Alto,’ I first thought to myself, ‘What is the house that these characters would want to live in?’ I wanted to paint a picture and color scheme that I could work around. I gently apply different daubs to see what fits to match the color I have in mind with these characters.
I’ve had watermelon hair where I had pink with green tips. From the age of 13 to about 19 or 20, I never had my real hair color.

I was at a U2 concert and someone asked me if my hair color was real… I thought to myself, if I had $1 for every time someone asked me this, I would be very rich.
In the next couple of years, part of every film’s process is going to be to adjust the images. And it’ll be to change the color of an actor’s tie or change the little smirky thing he’s doing with his mouth. Or you can put in more clouds or move the tree a little bit.
