Van Morrison is probably, at this point in time, my biggest influence as a vocalist.

I think there were candles around, which is really tacky, but hey, I needed to channel Van the Man! Nate Ruess
I was in a really crummy pop-punk band. I think we did a whole bunch of Blink-182 covers, and we were on the fringe of losers and jocks. So we invited all the cool kids to come watch us play in our bass player's brother's bedroom. And it was terrible, but everyone thought we were so cool. Nate Ruess
Well, the big products in electronics in the '50s were radio and television. The first big computers were just beginning to come in and represented the most logical market for us to work in. Jack Kilby
Jack Kilby quote: "The number of parts that were required were just prohibitive."
The number of parts that were required were just prohibitive. Jack Kilby
I think the varied backgrounds in the beginning were a plus. It took a while for people to understand what they were trying to do and get started, but it did provide for a lot of new ideas. Jack Kilby
Five years ago, people were crying and feeling the Japanese were about to take over the Earth. I don't hear that kind of talk anymore. Jack Kilby
My dad was a bartender. My mom was a cashier, a maid and a stock clerk at K-Mart. They never made it big. They were never rich. And yet they were successful. Because just a few decades removed from hopelessness, they made possible for us all the things that had been impossible for them. Marco Rubio
