Bowling for Columbine picture

Mike Bradley - Mayor of Sarnia, Ontario, Canada: No one wins unless everyone wins. And you don't win by beating up on people who can't defend themselves.

And at the same time, they're turning around and giving financial support and tax breaks and tax benefits to people that don't need them.

TT3D: Closer to the Edge picture

Guy Martin: Different things make different people happy, don't they? Some lads love going to the pub, I don't like being in the pub. Some lads love shagging, I don't like shagging. I don't mind it, but I'm not into it. I'd rather just go and ride me motorbikes or me pushbikes. It's whatever you're into, isn't it? If we was all the same everybody would be at the TT. Wouldn't they? But different things make different people tick. And that makes me tick, and that's why I'm gonna keep on going.
