I have always been the kid who’s asked ‘Why?’ In my faith, you’re just supposed to have faith. But I was always like ‘why?’ – Katy Perry
In your twenties, if you have any amount of complexity in your childhood, or any trauma that you haven’t dealt with, it comes out. That’s why you have a lot of artists that don’t make it through. – Jeremy Sisto

Our users were one step ahead of us. They began using YouTube to share videos of all kinds. Their dogs, vacations, anything. We found this very interesting. We said, ‘Why not let the users define what YouTube is all about?’ – Jawed Karim
I’m coming from a Ginuwine and Usher background: slow and smooth songs. And that’s why I really connected to Sam Cooke, because he was just very smooth. It’s not like the James Brown types, which is all great stuff, but he was totally set apart from those guys. – Leon Bridges
Why are all the artists so dead-set on distorting? It seems to be a reaction against photography, but I’m not sure. – Marcel Duchamp
A platform is the base from which something big happens. In our case, we’re an entertainment platform in the sense that there are people signing up like MTV, Burberry, folks like Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber. And why?

That’s why I called my record Devil Without a Cause – I’m a white boy who’s so sick of hearing that white kids are going to steal rap. – Kid Rock

I could do my own nails… I went to beauty school in the 11th grade. But why would I do that now? – Mariah Carey
