Have different people in your fold. Have cross-disciplinary collaborations.
My attention span is very short.
When I wrote 'My Humps,' I said, 'This is the stupidest thing ever,' but in a good way. I always wondered what it must be like to be a girl, always gettin' pulled on. Maybe she's the smartest genius on the planet, but she's rackin' double Ds with a 26-inch waist and a big ol' ass and no one's ever gonna see her like that because that's the way the world is today.
In future we'll have a different type of rich and poor.
If you really want change, you really want it to be inclusive, where everyone's included, otherwise you're just going to have more of the same in the future.
When you're a corporation, you're going to stick with what works. That's why every McDonald's is the same.
But I will wear white - the whitest white! - purest most pristine white! - through the dark terrible days of winter - as no man of our time will ever dare.
Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex and the damage it could do to society.

You can get your money and you put it in the bank, or you can put it in the youth. You can put it in our future.
Every year there's an Oscar and Grammy and we celebrate those shows. We do the same in the U.S about sports schools and colleges. The same thing doesn't happen for tech and STEM.
You could use artificial intelligence to build a system around postcodes and income, which could lead to racial profiling.
I'm a citizen of the U.S.A but I also travel around the world and love other countries like the UK as if it was my own. I love your tolerance and preservation of the arts.

America has to be not just an idea but a living, breathing thing.
The Black Eyed Peas sell thousands of seats in every country on the planet. You can't get nervous. We're all succeeding in all different parts of our careers. Just because I produce Nas and John Legend and Justin Timberlake doesn't mean it will change the dynamic of the Peas.
We forget to thank the scientists that began these musical inventions and systems. The guy that invented the phonograph and gramophone - Thomas Edison!
What Autotune allows is for people like myself and Kanye West not to depend on the singer. Back in the Fifties, the songwriter was rendered invisible. Now the songwriter is there in the forefront.
