YouTube's growth exploded in 2006. Ian and Anthony of Smosh, who began uploading in late 2005, were among the platform's top native stars and they defined a lot of what it meant to be a 'YouTuber.'

Growing up, I never saw Asian-Americans on TV at all.

I'm not inherently the most politically or, like, socially conscious rapper, you know? You're not just going to wake up tomorrow and be Common.

If you must know, my parents came from pretty hardscrabble backgrounds in the southern Midwest. I certainly didn't grow up poor, but I did spend my 20s and early 30s juggling temp jobs and choking on massive student-loan debt.

To look back all the time is boring. Excitement lies in tomorrow.

Strong growth means increased use of energy at a pace that can strain the capacity to supply what is needed at a reasonable price.

In emerging markets, slow growth in the advanced economies has shut down a traditional development path: export-led growth. As a result, emerging markets have had to rely once again on domestic demand. This is always a difficult task, given the temptation to over-stimulate.

I think the big thing about Groupon is just people had never seen anything grow quite so fast.

There is no doubt that human evolution has been linked to meat in many fundamental ways. Our digestive tract is not one of obligatory herbivores; our enzymes evolved to digest meat, whose consumption aided higher encephalization and better physical growth.

You want your kids to grow up in a world that's better than the one you grew up in. I'm not talking about my own family's wealth. I'm talking about the actual world and all the issues that we have.

A person looking after a frail former lover is not working and not contributing to economic growth. But if he or she stopped, the state would probably have to take over, thereby adding to growth. So, to increase growth, we should stop looking after our loved ones. Could anybody explain to a passing Martian how this makes sense?

Every central banker in the world pays attention to credit growth, but not in the U.S.

A lack of reform - particularly in international tax - has hurt our ability to compete in a global economy by keeping U.S. corporate cash overseas and reducing domestic investment, slowing economic growth.

It is when you adapt that you truly grow. When you grow, you don't let your art become the breeding ground for inadequacies.

I love performing for the crowd. Maybe that's what it is. I'm a crowd pleaser.

I feel like I'm constantly learning. Constantly trying to grow.
