Bryan Edwards:
You can do as much homework as you want and ahead of time. You can know the person as well as you. You can live with them, until they put the fragrance on their bodies and they actually have a sense for wearing it and using it throughout their lives and throughout their days, then you really do n’t know if you actually have a winner on your hand.
-
Erin Haney:
She highlights, she hand writes most things, although she does do some stuff on the computer obviously, but she is really, really invested in not just sort of checking off boxes to get through the homework but in really understanding the concept, one of the things that’s been really impressive about Kim is that she consistently connects it to real life and real people, and I think that that’s been both helpful in keeping her engaged but also really helpful in her understanding of the law itself.
-
Scott Kelly:
A lot of people think [that] to be a scientist you have to be a genius – I am here to tell you that that is not the case, i was not a genius growing up – I was the kid that couldn’t do his homework, but I found this inspiration – 18 years later I was flying in space.

Tulsi Gabbard:
On the issue of impeachment, I am doing my homework, i am studying more about the impeachment process. I will just say I understand the calls for impeachment, but what I am being cautious about and what I give you food for thought about is that if President Trump is impeached, the problems don’t go away, because then you have a Vice President Pence who becomes President Pence.
-
Kyle Kashuv:
I treat them like bros, like friends from school. I’m the exact same thing as them. I meme, I play Fortnite, I procrastinate to do my homework. I’m the exact same thing as them, they can impact the world even more than I can.
