“Polls are the corporate media’s standardized tests to determine how well we have learned what it has taught us.”

To control and enslave the minds of men, all one must do is convince them that a secret exists, and that he is privy to information regarding that secret; hence the power of priests and psychics.

Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.

In the Lonely Hour is about a guy that I fell in love with last year, and he didn’t love me back. I think I’m over it now, but I was in a very dark place. I kept feeling lonely in the fact that I hadn’t felt love before.

I’ve actually tasted the beer; it’s quite nice. It’s called Samuel Smith, which is my actual name. It’s good beer. Maybe that’s my favorite.

I used to have a little whisky before I went on stage. I realized that could have slowly turned into something a bit more serious. I get hyped up. I also think doing it a lot, you get used to it. You get more confidence. It’s confidence building, really.

I’ve only been in unrequited relationships where people haven’t loved me back. I guess I’m a little bit attracted to that in a bad way.

I actually have OCD really bad, and it’s getting a bit worse at the moment. I have to check taps before I leave the house, to make sure I’ve checked everything in case it floods.

I think a lot of people don’t wear their hearts on their sleeves. I think people should, but a lot of people don’t.

It was only until I started to be myself that the music started to flow and people started to listen. So, thank you guys.

The greatest power of the mass media is the power to ignore. The worst thing about this power is that you may not even know you’re using it.

Guess it’s true I’m not good at a one night stand , but I still need love cause I’m just a man.

Having two bathrooms ruined the capacity to co-operate.

[The business is] more corporate and more formulaic and less experiential.

In the classic old business cycle, there would be a diminution in sales; it would take a little while for this information to reach corporate headquarters.

I would love to be a corporate leader.

After my varied and celebrated career in television, movies, publishing, and the lucrative world of corporate speaking, being a fellow at Harvard seemed, frankly, like a step down.
