2) "Yes, we worry about what the critics say. Yes, we worry about what the opening box office is going to be. Yes, we worry about what the final box office is going to be. But really, the whole point why we do what we do is to entertain our audiences. The greatest joy I get as a filmmaker is to slip into an audience for one of our movies anonymously, and watch people watch our film. Because people are 100 percent honest when they're watching a movie. And to see the joy on people's faces, to see people really get into our films...to me is the greatest reward I could possibly get." A quote by John Lasseter on what?


3) "Twin homosapiens ascended a certain geological protuberance to collect a hydride of oxygen whose quantity is not specified.

4) Nazia Hassan was an iconic Pakistani pop singer. Her song "Aap Jaisa Koi" from the film Qurbani made her a legend and pop icon in Pakistan and all of South Asia in the 80s where she is admired and loved even today, several years after her death.
In the early-1990s, Indian composer Biddu, with whom Nazia had collaborated on numerous projects, composed a song titled "X" and wanted Nazia to provide lead vocals for it. However, Nazia turned the offer down. She told song-writer and music director Biddu that she could not bring herself to sing something that was likely to offend Pakistanis.
The song was eventually offered to Indian singer Y. The song was a huge success....
