Everything needs to work at the same time. But what keeps society vibrant permanently is jobs, industry, business, and stuff like that. It pays for everything else.

Once you start getting big roles as an actor, everything pays. So what are you making decisions on? It's about the director or the script or whatever.

Official motto of the White House economic team: Those who can, do.

Everyone else pays dearly.Michelle Malkin

My mother and father were fantastic, very active. I find it difficult to say this, but I'm quite a loving person and I've always been loving to my friends. In the long run, that pays off. I'm very interested in other people, and if you are, they're interested in you.Boy George

What I don't like is the way people automatically think I am a kept woman, that he pays my expenses. This puts me in a rage. I've always paid my own way, even while living in his mansion. I've kept an apartment of my own. In fact, I not only buy my own clothes, but many of Hef's, too - he just hates to shop.Barbi Benton

When something you use again and again is on sale, take advantage.
