‐‐ Chuck Feeney

‐‐ Stephen Amell
People used to ask me: 'Well, was it the power that attracted you to Bill Clinton?' And I said, well, how much power do you think the attorney general of Arkansas has? Of course not. It wasn't that for me. I just a thought he was wonderful in general.

People used to call me names, so my mom had this beautiful African lady come talk to me.
‐‐ Leslie Jones
People used to come knocking on my door saying, 'Your trouble is that you're a sex symbol who doesn't do enough sexy things.' I'd say to myself, 'You think that if you pressure me I'll fold.' But if I did it, all it would mean is that I sold out.
‐‐ Raquel Welch
People used to complain that selling a president was like selling a bar of soap. But when you buy soap, at least you get the soap. In this campaign you just get two guys telling you they really value cleanliness.

People used to name me the Brazilian Pistorius. Thank God I'm not the Brazilian Pistorius any more. I'm Alan.
‐‐ Alan Oliveira
People used to pooh-pooh the idea of a check-in, saying that this wasn't interesting. But when you have 3 billion of those data points, you can take any latitude and longitude anywhere in the world, and I'll tell you what is interesting now, 20 minutes from now, and 6 hours from now.
‐‐ Dennis Crowley
People used to say, 'Andy Serkis lent his movements to Gollum,' and now they say, 'Andy Serkis played Caesar.' That's a significant leap.

People used to say I'm regional, but I'm not... We all have the same human condition.

‐‐ Mahesh Babu
People used to say my son looked like a Mexican Biggie. And when he was first born, memories of Biggie... you know, we didn't always have the greatest days. For at least half the length of our marriage we were separated, so everyday was definitely not a good day.

‐‐ Joni Mitchell
People used to say poems were different to songs but I don't think they are.

‐‐ Susan Wojcicki
People used to share things with e-mail on a massive scale. If you remember e-mail forwards from the late '90s, it was a terrible way to share content.

‐‐ Alexei Sayle
People used to think of me as a comedy actor.

People used to think that private equity was basically just a compensation scheme, but it is much more about making companies more efficient.

‐‐ Bill Plympton
People used what they called a telephone because they hated being close together and they were scared of being alone.

‐‐ Sergei Lavrov
People very often say to actors that they admire their careers, and I rather think that what's implied by that is that we have a choice in the matter. When really, most actors, me included, do whatever comes along next.

People view the police not as allies, but as antagonists, and think of them not with respect or gratitude, but with suspicion and distrust.

‐‐ Irene Rosenfeld
People voted with their hearts as they were remembering the father.

People walked out on Richard Pryor and he's the funniest man alive.
