Brad Thor

Great, Political, Mean

I've obviously used fans - I wouldn't say all my life, because we couldn't afford them when I was young, but from my 20s and onwards we've had to use fans. And I've always loathed them. Everything about them. The way you adjust them, getting them at the angle you want. Carrying them. Cleaning them. The danger of putting your finger in them.
James Dyson

Life, Everything, Young

Anna Kendrick

Chris Martin

Someone, Feelings, Sometimes
