I started rapping before anybody had ever bought a car from it. It was truly about the art form and the culture more so than now where it's a successful way to make money. Back then you had to be doing it because you liked it.

Food is not just what we put in our mouths to fill up it is culture and identity. Reason plays some role in our decisions about food but it's rarely driving the car.

I have a need to make these sorts of connections literal sometimes and a vehicle often helps to do that. I have a relationship to car culture. It isn't really about loving cars. It's sort of about needing them.

I think that New York is not the cultural centre of America but the business and administrative centre of American culture.

Our combination of great research universities a pro-risk business culture deep pools of innovation-seeking equity capital and reliable business and contract law is unprecedented and unparalleled in the world.

Most of my relationships were people in the business. Having said that me and Tim don't really talk that much about work. He comes into my bit of the house every so often to vent but we don't really have very high cultured conversations.

Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best and knowing why.

I lead no party I follow no leader. I have given the best part of my life to careful study of Islam its law and polity its culture its history and its literature.

There's one more thing I want to say. It's a touchy subject. Black beauty. Black sensuality. We live in a culture where the beauty of black people isn't always as celebrated as other types. I'd like to help change that if I can!

Asian people have a unique way about them and a different sense of beauty. It's exotic to me. I like they way Asians project their feelings. There's a hardness to the culture but at the same time there's a delicateness.

I thought to be feminine was to give in to straight culture or the beauty standard but in my heart I had a flair for fashion and style. They were passions I kept secret because I didn't understand I could love clothes and hair and makeup and still like girls.

What I find most upsetting about this new all-consuming beauty culture is that the obsession with good looks and how you can supposedly attain them is almost entirely female-driven.

I want to work with kids and help develop them show them the right way the right morals and attitude into how to become a better footballer. Australia has many different cultures but I'd like to bring in the indigenous style bring their competitiveness athleticism and raw ability into the frame.

In Scotland over many years we have cultivated through our justice system what I hope can be described as a 'culture of compassion.'

Gardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is closely examine why you feel that way. You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains.

It's important to debunk the myths of Africa being this benighted continent civilized only when white people arrived. In fact Africans had been creators of culture for thousands of years before. These were very intelligent subtle and sophisticated people with organized societies and great art.

Real popular culture is folk art - coalminers' songs and so forth.

It's a sad fact about our culture that a poet can earn much more money writing or talking about his art than he can by practicing it.
