I’ve never really been a fan of Taylor Swift, but watching this made me a big one.
Here are just two of the many quotables from the clip:
Quotable Quote 1:
Taylor: I had to fight for that song. Because when I first played it for my family and a few people, they were just sort of… hmm?
Leslie: But you believed in it. You trusted yourself.
Taylor: Yeah it’s almost more fun that way. When you have something to prove.
Quotable Quote 2:
Leslie: You’re a role model, and you know it.
Taylor: I think it’s my responsibility to know it. And be conscious of it. It’ll be really easy to say “I’m 21 now, I do what I want. You raise your kids.” But it’s not the truth of it. The truth of it is that every singer out there with a song on the radio is raising the next generation. So make your words count.
Way to go Taylor! :)

“Is Facebook forever?” says Ralston. “No fucking way. Of course it’s not. Is Google scared of Facebook now? Yes. Are venture capitalists willing to say, ‘Is this that thing?’ Sure. Of course. We ought to be. We have to be. That’s the way the world works now. It’s all connected, interrelated, and people will change fast. Does that mean there will be a post-Facebook world? I don’t know. Will it be soon? Does it have to do with mobile? Maybe. Would I invest in a company that said, ‘Hey, we have something that’s different?’ Yeah,” he concludes. “I did.”

Wow, as of now I can’t imagine the world without Facebook?
