"Barack Obama is the most famous living person in the history of the world." ― Dee Dee Myers Topic(s): Famous Tags: barack, obama More From Dee Dee Myers "Because if you say men and women are the same and if male behaviour is the norm, and women are always expected to act like men, we will never be as good at being men as men are." "As women slowly gain power, their values and priorities are reshaping the agenda. A multitude of studies show that when women control the family funds, they generally spend more on health, nutrition, and education – and less on alcohol and cigarettes." "That someone like Obama could be elected president of the United States – with its unrivaled power and prestige – has begun to restore the country’s and the world’s faith in America as the land of opportunity." More In Famous "These days there are a lot of people who just want to be famous. I think that comes from a naive place, because those people generally don’t know what it’s like."― Catherine Keener "I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: ‘try being rich first’. See if that doesn’t cover most of it. There’s not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job."― Bill Murray "Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians."― Paula Danziger
