But go ahead and judge DeSean for the company he keeps. While you're at it, judge me, too, because I still live in Los Angeles, and my family does, too. We didn't run from where we grew up. We aren't afraid to be associated with the people who came up with us. We brought some of our money back and started charities and tried to help out a few guys who were with us when we were nobodies. I won't apologize for that, and I suspect neither will DeSean when he's back on the field doing what he's always done: grinding through adversity.

Tom Stoppard

Sure, I have friends, plenty of friends, and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family, with money, but selfish with the important stuff like love.

Henry Cavill

I'm very happy, very delighted.... for I am surrounded here by all that I love. I spent my time out of doors.... and naturally I'm working all the time, and I think this year I'm going to do some serious things. And then in the evening, dear fellow, I come home to my little cottage to find a good fire and a dear little family... Dear friend, it's a delight to watch this person [his first son Jean, born in 1867] grow, and I am glad to have him to be sure...

But with the generational doubling that occurs, before too long it's a muddle of all manner of colliding types: scullery maids and sculptors, officers and gentlemen.

Russell Brand

If I dont need the money, I dont work. Im going to spend time with my family and friends, and Im going to travel and read and listen to music and try to learn a little bit more about how to be a human being, as opposed to learning how to be somebody else.

James Spader

Emperors, kings and presidents who enjoyed opulence and power on earth, and even journalists who had worldwide fame, have now placed themselves at the forefront of the column of the true love revolution.

This resolution has been announced on every corner of the globe.
