Quotes About People

Even with flexible time off to vote, it's still difficult for our people to juggle work, polls, childcare, and other responsibilities.

The polls tell us something, but they don't tell us everything. They don't tell us how people are going to show up on Election Day.

I don't think the people run to the polls and vote simply on the basis of identity. Yes, it is a factor, of course we all know that. It's also ethnicity, gender, and gender identity. People do take those factors into account.

That's another pompous expression that is out of fashion, to say that poetry is a gift. It sounds pompous because you say, 'Who gave you the gift, and what is this gift?' And the gift is where I am; the gift is what I have come out of, the people around me who, I think, are beautiful people.

Folk music is music that everyday people can play, and it inspired a lot of people to make their own music. That trailed into making your own pop music, and that's why garage bands started springing up everywhere.

I like to think of myself as the people's pop star a little bit. I respect Lady Gaga so much, and I love what she does, but she has this kind of mysterious, out-of-reach thing. I'm just not that - as much as I'd love to have that sort of mystique, I think I'm kind of an open book.

I don't really see myself as a pop star. I guess I just really enjoy being able to play my music for people who actually want to listen to it.

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.

Popular opinion is the biggest 'filter' for most people - they don't have to try something if they've already been told it's not cool.

The U.S. government is losing popularity every day in Europe, and people don't want to see us give in to them.

I'll put it like this: When I was in high school, I would never win a popularity contest back then... it was always somebody else that got picked first for whatever reason. But all those people that went before me usually dropped the ball... then I'd get my shot.
