Cate Blanchett

Life, Work, Good

Katy Perry

Hope, Hard, Same

Boris Pasternak

Life, Beauty, Good

The job of a leader, the job of a governor, the job of a president, is to get the people in the room and bang enough heads together and rub enough arms and cajole enough to have them put the country and the state's greater interest ahead of their own personal partisan interest.

Chris Christie

Job, Together, Country
