— Tamara Taylor

— Mark Zuckerberg
I remembered a long time ago when 'A League of Their Own' came out, and they had the opening sequence with an older Geena Davis.

— James Wan
Aquaman's such an amazing character.

— Rita Ora
I wouldn't want to do an average fashion line. I'd want it to be an amazing piece of art.

— Shia LaBeouf
To be able to sit in Donald Trump's apartment and talk about the future of corporate real estate was amazing.
— Shia LaBeouf

Urs Fischer specializes in making jaws drop. Cutting giant holes in gallery walls, digging a crater in Gavin Brown's gallery floor in 2007, creating amazing hyperrealist wallpaper for a group show at Tony Shafrazi: It all percolates with uncanny destructiveness, operatic uncontrollability, and barbaric sculptural power.
— Jerry Saltz
I want my opponents to look at me across the net and just not want to play me because I look so fit and amazing and strong. So that's always my goal.

— Tori Amos

— Sandra Bullock

I love that '...Baby One More Time' video, to be honest; it's amazing.

I do appreciate the '80s as an era, the general sounds and aesthetics of the era. The Cure, that whole kind of image is really kind of amazing, I think. The power ballads and how everything sparkles and words are really dramatic. Huge drums, things like that. I do really find it inspiring.
— Charli XCX
I'm inspired by artists like Robyn, just because she writes amazing pop songs, and they're not throwaway. When I listen to a Robyn pop song, I don't feel like she's just kind of saying something and not thinking; I feel like it's really emotional.
— Charli XCX
The people of Disney are so incredibly amazing they are so nice. 
— Ryan Gosling

— Viggo Mortensen

— Jill Scott
Our minds do understand that people of all races find genuine love in many places. We dig that the world is full of amazing options.
— Jill Scott
I think Freddie Mercury is probably the best of all time in terms of a rock voice.

— Chris Cornell
Cotton candy is the most amazing form of caramelization ever invented by man.

— Peter Capaldi
I'm not terribly well read. My wife forces books into my hands and insists I read them, which I'm grateful to her for. She made me read 'War and Peace.' The whole thing. It was amazing, but I had to hide it. You can't walk round reading 'War and Peace' - it's like you're in a comedy sketch and you think you're smart.
— Peter Capaldi

'The Comeback' is my favorite TV show of all-time because it's just brill. It's Lisa Kudrow's show about what it's like to be an actor on a TV show. She's so amazing on it.

One of the many characteristics of the new is that, at first, it's very hard to recognize it for what it is. We're lucky if we recognize something as being new when it first appears. Usually I think we don't have that privilege. It's usually after the fact that we suddenly turn around and say, 'Wow, this thing is amazing.'
— Junot Diaz
It's important to show that there's different ways of doing things. Some people like to be glamorous, and that's perfectly fine, and that's amazing. If I were that style, then I would do that. I'd wear heels every day, and I'd strut around in a dress, but that's not me.

People have often asked me, do I want to be the next Oprah - there is no such thing. Oprah is Oprah, and she's still being Oprah if anybody hasn't noticed... what I bring to TV is myself... I really think there's space in daytime TV for a whole bunch of fun, some amazing music, and some heart.
— Queen Latifah
I'm excited about 'Luke Cage' with Michael Colter, who plays Luke Cage. I play the villain, Cottonmouth. It takes place in Harlem. It'll just be amazing for people to get to see an African-American superhero, which there weren't any when I was growing up.
— Mahershala Ali
I got my Equity card right out of NYU grad school in 2000, doing 'The Great White Hope' at Arena Stage. I played Jack Jefferson. It was an amazing part to walk into, to carry that responsibility for that amount of time. The challenges and the breadth of that role were pretty amazing.
— Mahershala Ali
Everybody knows about Peter Jackson, 'The Hobbit' movies and 'The Lord of the Rings' films being made in New Zealand, and to actually have been part of it for such a long period, to live there and to have friends that I will have for life because of that experience, is an amazing thing.

When 'Catch Me If You Can' was published back in 1980, I never dreamed that it would become a bestseller, much less a major motion picture and now a big Broadway musical. What's amazing about the book is that it has never gone out of print.

— Michael Keaton
I'd like to share my experiences and the lessons I've learned and hopefully create some amazing, fun courses.

— Natalie Dormer
Well, Jeff Buckley for me is one of the greatest singers I've ever heard. And the reason why is he has an amazing range, amazing emotional power in his voice.

I think Polanski's an amazing director.

— Mike Pompeo

LinkedIn was an amazing deal for us to do because of their mission.

— Katee Sackhoff
I've seen 'Absentia,' which was amazing. I loved 'Absentia.' I loved that for no money, he was able to make a movie about something that you never saw. You never saw the bad guys.

— Katee Sackhoff
I knew from the first episode that 'Longmire' was something special - I met the writers/exec producers, read the script, and knew it was special, so to have the network and the studio and the fans get behind it in the way that they have has been really amazing.
— Katee Sackhoff

— Jason Calacanis
