We all benefit from the shared experiences of our partners from around the world. Our education, health care, business and public sector institutions rely on these relationships to deliver on their missions every single day.

Look, there's no place and no point in public life, in any life, for a lot of the things Scott Lively says and believes.

Look I can't get into the minds of people who made decisions to support us or support anybody else. But I can tell you that Scott Lively, a lot of what he says and a lot of what he believes doesn't belong in public discourse.

Former Gov. Weld is that kind of guy who you can't predict what his next move will be.

Do I miss Harvard? Not for a second. With a few exceptions... those four years are ones I would rather forget.

I saw 'The Sting' about 35 times and 'Jeremiah Johnson' and 'Billy Jack' about 50 times.

I've said a thousand times I want every community to be a place where people believe tomorrow is going to be better than today. I say that not just because I believe it, but because I believe in it.

There are exceptional schools in many of our most disadvantaged neighborhoods throughout the Commonwealth. Proving they can get it done for kids, no matter what their circumstances.

Across Massachusetts, there are many talented and inspiring educators doing for their students what their predecessors did for me.

I'm a proud product of the Massachusetts public schools.

We believe it is essential to establish federal emission reduction targets that can vary by state or region with policy flexibility for states to design solutions that work for their unique circumstances. Such targets would level the playing field and send a clear signal to business and industry as we transition to a clean energy economy.

Sometimes when something doesn't go the way it should go, everyone blames the concept. Sometimes we screw up the way we implement it.

Our communities are strong because local leaders and active citizens listen and learn from the people they serve.

Our Founders worried a lot about the tyranny of the majority. They designed our form of government to provide a loud voice for minority points of view. They hated the idea of unilateral power. And wanted to force advocates and policy makers, through structure and process, to compromise.

A strong Commonwealth is built on a foundation of strong communities. Friendly, welcoming, bustling neighborhoods and downtowns. Great schools. Safe, accessible, attractive places to play. Growing local economies. And a belief that anything is possible.

We live in a great state filled with creative, community minded, hard-working, decent people. And what they want from us is opportunity, possibility and hope.

The most heart-wrenching responsibility I have as Governor is to meet a family at the airport as they stand silently waiting for the military casket of their loved one to come home.

Whether it's the grind of the day to day, or a crisis, we all need to work together because that's what great public service is all about.

I'm obviously a huge Bill Weld fan.

Anybody is beatable.

Learning how to communicate to big audiences, and how to frame a message in a way that works in a sound-bite world, that for me is very challenging.

I think our Republican brand is an effective one and I think it fits and works here in Massachusetts.

I like technology, but 'Black Mirror' is more what the consequences are, and it doesn't tend to be about technology itself: it tends to be how we use or misuse it. We've not really thought through the consequences of it.

In the age of social media, everyone's a newspaper columnist, exaggerating what they think and feel.

Nothing happens in cricket, ever. Even the highlights resemble a freeze frame.

I can't imagine voluntarily standing beside an F1 track in the rain, watching motorised wedges plastered in corporate decals zooming past at 500mph.

Technology is a tool that has allowed us to swipe around like an angry toddler.

If you're living in a dystopia, you don't necessarily want to look at another one.

Our metropolises are blighted by two problems: a lack of public transport and a lack of public loos.

Everyone's opened a drawer and been startled by the unexpected discovery of an old mobile phone that now resembles an outsized pantomime prop. To think you used to be impressed by this clunky breezeblock. You were like a caveman gawping at a yo-yo.

A cupcake is just a muffin with clown puke topping.

I've never lost that freelance mentality. You can't take a holiday because you're worried the work will dry up.

Brexit is a harbinger for Trump, really.

We take miracles for granted on a daily basis.

I have often felt the worlds of social media and the Internet are like a weird dreamscape. Even physically, when you are looking at your phone, you are out of it.

I haven't always been the kind of man who plays videogames. I used to be the kind of boy who played videogames.

If there's no point, then there's no point giving up.

It's hard to think of a single human function that technology hasn't somehow altered, apart perhaps from burping. That's pretty much all we have left.

Apple excels at taking existing concepts - computers, MP3 players, conceit - and carefully streamlining them into glistening ergonomic chunks of concentrated aspiration.

I don't know how, at an age when you're trying to put your identity together, how you cope with the pressure of a performance space, which is what social media is.

When it comes to something like Brexit, I am part of the liberal-media London bubble, and so, to me, voting to leave was madness. My perspective was that it was cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I didn't pass my degree due to never handing in an acceptable dissertation, and while it didn't harm me in the long run, my failure to complete the course properly probably led me to spend the next six years or so coasting, unsure of what to do next.

With Boris Johnson, you don't think of him as a politician, oddly. You think of him as a media personality because he's a comic character. He's basically Homer Simpson. That makes him strangely bullet-proof.

We're inseparable, games and I. If you cut me, I'd bleed pixels. Or blood. Probably blood, come to think of it.

Games get a bad press compared with, say, opera - even though they're obviously better, because no opera has ever compelled an audience member to collect a giant mushroom and jump across some clouds.

'The Twilight Zone' was sometimes shockingly cruel, far crueller than most TV drama today would dare to be.

People tend to think I'm a lot more earnest than I am.

When you're being earnest, people think you're being sarcastic, and when you're being sarcastic, they think you're being earnest. The moral in all this, of course, is that people should never attempt to communicate.

At 16, I was drawing cartoons, and I wanted to carry on being a cartoonist.

I can't rank anything. I mean, how could anyone possibly say what their favourite piece of music is? I don't have the ability or the desire to categorise things of that nature.
