Bill Clinton told me that when he was 14, he shook John Kennedy's hand, and that inspired him to be president.

Bill Clinton wanted to survive. And Bill Clinton wanted to thrive, not just for himself, although that's primarily what drives Bill Clinton. He's a classic narcissist. So of course he wanted to thrive and succeed. But he also wanted America to thrive and succeed, which is why he worked with a Republican Congress.

Bill Clinton was a liberal who could appeal to conservative-leaning Bubba voters.
‐‐ Rich Lowry
Bill Clinton was impeached primarily for criminal conduct: lying under oath and misleading a federal grand jury about his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Nixon would have been impeached for a wide array of criminal acts, as well as abuses of power.
‐‐ Jonathan Turley
Bill Clinton was in the line of great progressive presidents who faced the realities in his own time and applied innovative solutions to problems.
‐‐ Sidney Blumenthal
Bill Clinton was not a symbol. People did not invest in him their idea of what America should be or, worse, their pride in what they thought America had become. There was no great moral self-congratulation in having elected a president from Arkansas.
‐‐ Charlie Pierce
Bill Clinton was one of the greatest presidents that we've seen. He was involved in the peace process in the very beginning, and he not only showed himself to be knowledgeable about Irish history and Irish-British relationships, but also he was very sympathetic to the idea of resolving conflict.
‐‐ Martin McGuinness
Bill Clinton was relentless, eloquent and truly charming.
‐‐ Beth Broderick
Bill Clinton, who packs his own star power, has been a big draw as well as a big drag on his wife's campaign.
‐‐ Andrew Rosenthal
Bill Condon, I must say, may have been one of the best professional experiences of my life, collaborating with him. He, himself, is an Academy Award winning screenwriter. He is a storyteller first and foremost, so we speak the same language. We approach things always from the story.

Bill Cosby is a famous black guy who has a bully pulpit the size of the world; it's global. He puts his colossal foot on the vulnerable necks of poor people, and as a result of that, we don't have a balanced conversation.
‐‐ Michael Eric Dyson
Bill Cosby was the first comedian I was exposed to, because he doesn't curse.
‐‐ Chris Rock
Bill Cosby, you know, he's a delightful guy.
‐‐ Barry Corbin
Bill Cunningham... he knows fashion better than anybody.

Bill de Blasio is a very good friend. I remember bringing up a whole caravan of cars to help volunteer on his Public Advocate race.
‐‐ Robby Mook
Bill de Blasio was swept to the New York mayoralty on the promise of getting Gracie Mansion out from under the thumb of corporate elites.
‐‐ Rick Perlstein
Bill Evans is a real serious jazz pianist who, in my book, crossed over boundaries in terms of color. He used the piano as his canvas.
‐‐ Roberta Flack
Bill Gallagher's new version of 'The Prisoner' is an enthralling commentary on modern culture. It is witty, intelligent and disturbing. I am very excited to be involved.
‐‐ Ian Mckellen
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have their 'Giving Pledge,' where billionaires promise to give away the majority of their wealth when they die. My Social Security Pledge is better - to give money to good causes when you are alive. Besides, more Americans can participate.
‐‐ Mark Skousen
Bill Gates can't control a high-level-energy dog, because his energy is very low, very calm. Very intellectual. A dog doesn't see that as leadership.
‐‐ Cesar Millan
Bill Gates finds people in Russia to hire them to Microsoft. That's the Russian interest in this process.
‐‐ Anatoly Chubais
Bill Gates has become the patron saint of philanthropy and the poster child of rebirth, and from what I can tell, rightly so.
‐‐ John Battelle
Bill Gates is a relative newcomer to the fight against global warming, but he's already shifting the debate over climate change.
‐‐ Jeff Goodell
Bill Gates is a very rich man today... and do you want to know why? The answer is one word: versions.
‐‐ Dave Barry
Bill Gates is the pope of the personal computer industry. He decides who's going to build.
‐‐ Larry Ellison
Bill Gates recently picked up the ukulele. And Warren Buffett is a huge ukulele fan. I even got to strum a few chords with Francis Ford Coppola. It blows my mind that these people, who have everything in the world they could want, have picked up the ukulele and found a little bit of joy.
‐‐ Jake Shimabukuro
Bill Gates wants people to think he's Edison, when he's really Rockefeller. Referring to Gates as the smartest man in America isn't right... wealth isn't the same thing as intelligence.
‐‐ Larry Ellison
Bill Gore from Goretex was a very strong influence because he was one of the first larger companies to experiment with freedom in the workplace.
‐‐ Ricardo Semler
Bill Hader does a really good impression of me.
‐‐ Fred Armisen
Bill Hanna and I owe an awful lot to television, but we both got our start and built the first phase of our partnership in the movies.
‐‐ Joseph Barbera
Bill Haskell was real.
‐‐ Richard Madden
Bill Hewlett and I were brought up in the Depression. We weren't interested in the idea of making any money. Our idea was if you couldn't find a job, you'd make one for yourself.
‐‐ David Packard
Bill Hicks is a huge influence. I love him.
‐‐ Daniel Tosh
Bill Justis was a saxophone player, good musician, arranger, and friend of mine who had a big hit called 'Raunchy.'

Bill Maher fancies himself the reincarnation of Lenny Bruce.
‐‐ Bernard Goldberg
Bill Milliken is a big hero of mine.
‐‐ Anne Cox Chambers
Bill Mitchell said he really liked it. But when he asked the other four their opinions, we all took one look at ourselves in our raggedy long winter coats and cracked up. We knew we weren't likely to tempt anyone or anything, but what the hell, it was as good a name as any.
‐‐ Otis Williams
Bill Murray doesn't do anything. He barely shows up at the movies he says he's going to do.
‐‐ Denis Leary
Bill Murray is a wonderful actor, and he's very funny, and I've seen him be serious and terrific.
‐‐ Geoffrey Ward
Bill Murray was just so funny to me - there wasn't anything spooking him.
‐‐ Leslie Jones
Bill Nelson has demonstrated that he is a rubber stamp for the Obama administration and he's out of touch with the solution that we need to implement in order to get America back on the right track.
‐‐ Adam Hasner
Bill O'Reilly is like a comfortable pair of shimmeringly angry slippers, but you know every night what you're going to get.
‐‐ Piers Morgan
Bill Phillips was this nervous, chain-smoking student. He had signed up to be an engineer, he had gone away to fight in the Second World War, he had come back. He had switched to sociology because he wanted to understand how people could do these terrible things to each other. And he did a little bit of economics on the side.
‐‐ Tim Harford
Bill Powell is the only intelligent actor I've ever met.
‐‐ Carole Lombard
Bill Rehnquist makes Barry Goldwater look like a liberal.
‐‐ John Dean
Bill Russell was my favorite player of all-time.

Bill Stevenson of The Descendants is really good, too.

Bill, The United States is not a company. It is a country.
‐‐ Stewart Alsop
Bill Veeck was a charismatic and somewhat eccentric owner-fan during the post-WWII years.
‐‐ Don Yaeger
Bill Watterson argued with his medium even as he eclipsed it. He was all too aware that no artistic expression better exemplifies our disposable consumer culture than the daily newspaper comic strip: today's masterpiece is tomorrow's birdcage lining.
