I feel that small, compact companies, are better run. That is partly because people feel more connected in small companies. ~Richard Branson

I hate when people think you're broken because your parents are divorced. And I really reject the idea of staying together for the kids. If they're growing up in a house that's not healthy, it's better to know that's not the model of what marriage should be. ~Anna Kendrick
