MORGAN FREEMAN: I'm going to tell you right now,
acting is not something you can really teach.
Technique you can.
But the actual art, you can't.
HALLIE MEYERS-SHYER: Want me to teach Jon the bend-and-snap?
OK.
OK-- and then you snap.
Yes!
PHOEBE ROBINSON: If you think you
have a story to tell that's worth hearing,
you're probably right.
So you should just go for it.
It doesn't matter if there's not an example there--
a blueprint-- for you to follow.
You can be the first one.
And you can kind of figure things out yourself.
WYCLEF JEAN: (SINGING) Every time I make a run,
girl, you turn around and cry.
I ask myself, why, o, why.
TONY PATRICK: You're mistaking whatever the current trend
in thought is for knowing more.
Sometimes, people are wrong for millennia.
JAMES MONROE: I'm actually having a very long conversation
with Daveed.
And Daveed said, no, man.
Look, bring your swagger to the show.
And I was like, are you sure?
(SINGING) I'm running my radar when Bonnie comes by.
CAST: (SINGING) Come on back.
CAST: (SINGING) --in the circle of life.
[MUSIC - G. LOVE]
GAELYNN LEA: The problem isn't the disability itself.
It's society's inaccessibility.
And when you reframe it that way, it takes away the pity.
And it also puts responsibility on society
to make sure that they're doing a good job of being accessible.
IRENE ZISBLATT: The Holocaust is not just a part of history.
But it lingers in the present.
Perhaps, when we were forgetting how powerful hatred can be,
9/11 reminded us.
DIANNA COWERN: I had some really awesome physics teachers.
So never--
SPEAKER: I know.
DIANNA COWERN: --underestimate the value
of what you can do to instill the curiosity
and the excitement on the young people in your life.
WILLIAM MCDONOUGH: We want to make imagination enhancers,
systems that help people become better thinkers,
independently of the system they're using.
YANN ARTHUS BERTRAND: [SPEAKING FRENCH]
AL GORE: Successfully resolving this
is the key to redeeming our destiny as human beings
and saying to the generations that follow,
we did the right thing.
MICHAEL J. FOX: No one dies from Parkinson's.
You die with Parkinson's.
And so I'm living with Parkinson's.
ANTHONY BOURDAIN: Well, I was quite sure,
when I wrote "Kitchen Confidential," that no one was
going to read it.
And that was a very liberating thing
because I didn't have the burden of trying
to imagine what people would expect,
or what they might like or dislike,
or what the market wanted.
I wasn't thinking about any of those things.
YIN PIN XIU:
THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN: Then, when you press the Pause button
on a computer, it stops.
But when you press the Pause button on a human being,
it starts.
ANNA AKBARI: You don't even know if you're
going to be around tomorrow.
So you have to find a way to be happy along the journey.
RIC FLAIR: And you guys will be going 200 miles-an-hour
around a track.
And I'll be going, whoo!
ATUL GAWANDE: Thank you for taking time on your lunch
to come talk about death.
MARTIN ATKINS: Just be nice.
The good thing is, there are some people being nice to them.
You don't have to buy them a car.
And if someone's at that point where you've
got to buy a car for them to go, thanks for the car,
the car isn't going to make a difference anyway.
ORIT KOPE: When you're talking about Trump and Hillary--
there are so many more stories around the world happening--
terror attacks in Egypt and so on-- that people do talk,
but maybe not enough.
SIMON SINEK: I wish all organizations-- they
don't have to be nation-states.
I wish all organizations did the same thing,
operated not just in their interest,
but also have a sense of code or values
and a sense of purpose and vision.
IRENE VILLA: [SPEAKING SPANISH]
LUVVIE AJAYI: America does not do a good job
looking at itself in the mirror and being like, oh, OK.
I see what's coming back at me.
RUSSELL BRAND: If you don't acknowledge
you've got a problem, how can you intervene
in your own consciousness?
You have to intervene.
This is the problem.
Second, you have to believe that change is possible.
Right?
You have to be open to the possibility of new data.
OMAR SAIF GHOBASH: I keep coming back
to the idea of how technology changes
our, perhaps, psychology, how it changes
our relationship to each other.
NOAM CHOMSKY: How did we develop creative capacities
of a unique kind which have led to extraordinary achievements?
OK, these are things we would ought
to try and understand, all of them,
and then do something about them, not just understand.
