Inc. interview
Graham talks about why startups fail, $1 billion valuations, and how Y Combinator weeds out candidates. On whether the accelerator is underselling the challenges of entrepreneurship:
I’ve written a lot about what a bitch the start-up world is. So, maybe the other incubators are underselling, but we’re not. That being said, everyone is surprised by how difficult it turns out to be, because it’s not the kind of difficulty people have experienced before… Start-ups are hard but doable, in the way that running a five-minute mile is hard but doable.
Vogue cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the September 2013 issue of Vogue magazine. She talks about choosing to do The Hunger Games, paparazzi, and deciding to be an actress.
I know it sounds so stupid, but it was kind of like I finally found something people were telling me I was good at, which I had never heard, ever. And that was a big reason why my parents let me do this. One time, my mom was on the phone with my dad, saying, ‘We’re paying for therapy and all this medication, and we don’t need it when she’s here. She’s happy.’

Garner appears on the cover of the September 2013 issue of Allure magazine. She talks about watching her weight and not bringing her husband on the red carpet.
Sometimes it’s a pain because my heels are so high and it would be really nice to have his arm. And he’s such a great date! But it can be too much. I think especially for women, they can really lose their identity and just become ‘wife of’.

Collins appears on the cover of the September 2013 issue of Seventeen magazine. She talks about style and her career inspiration.

Justice will not challenge state laws
The Justice Department will not challenge state laws that allow for the medical and recreational use of marijuana as long as the drug sales do not conflict with eight new federal enforcement priorities, including the distribution of marijuana to minors and sales that assist or act as cover for trafficking operations. Although the directive will apply nationwide, it will largely affect the 20 states and the District of Columbia that allow for medical marijuana use, and Colorado and Washington where state laws allow medical and recreational use by adults.

Dunham appears on the cover of the October 2013 issue of Marie Claire. She talks about her parents and how she learned to love her body.

That was great, we beat Big Show and Miz to win the tag titles and that was such a great moment for us and for me personally as it was a title my dad held as well.

Bitter Sweet Symphonies interview
The band is interviewed by Bitter Sweet Symphonies, before their headline set at The Royal Oak pub in Chorlton. They talk about recording their upcoming album:
The way we are going is more current. We’re really proud of what we’re doing so far. We’ve got five tracks done so far, because we work in the day, we kind of work around that, we get it done when we can. Hopefully, we’ll have an album’s worth by 2020 [laughs]. I don’t know, but it’s gone pretty well so far and the producer we’re working with is really good. But it is different, but not different totally. Different good.
We’re really proud of [Forever In Your Debt] though, so if the rest of the album can come up to that standard. I think there’s one or two at the moment that we probably think are there, then we’ll be more than happy. But to me anyway, I can’t speak for everybody, but I think that is kind of a blueprint, like the bar, that we want to meet. It might be that people prefer the other stuff that we’re doing more than that one but we’re proud of Forever In Your Debt and that’s why it’s going to be the first single…I remember the first couple of times we did Forever In Your Debt live and my heart was just up in my chest, you know what I mean. Especially, when you’re first introducing it to people, and the reaction for that one has been pretty good live.
Spin cover
Reznor is featured on the cover of spin with an accompanying interview. During the interview Reznor is questioned about his career, family and Nine Inch Nails return to the stage.
I was shooting a video till three in the morning. The last few weeks have been terribly intense. The way I work is that up to the last second stuff looks like shit, and at the last minute it comes together. But I feel like I’ve done good work, and there’s still an audience there. I’m not looking out at the crowd and seeing a bunch of orthodontists. It’s new faces that look like the old ones, if that makes any sense. It feels valid to be back.
Tina Turner interview
Winfrey interviews Tina Turner and asks questions about Turners recent wedding.
There comes a time in life when you must put things in place. First I started consolidating, getting rid of property. I got rid of a house in France, a property in America. I made a situation for my sons. Anything that was costly I totally got rid of. Then it occurred to me, if something happened in death for me, Irving would have no say, and I thought it was a bit unfair to live with someone as long as we are, and not to give him any say.
More cover
Harmon appears on the cover of the September 2013 issue of More magazine. She discusses how she is a republican and her political views.

Tavis Smiley interview
Galecki discusses his role as Dr. Leonard Hofstadter in the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory in this interview for PBS.
It’s been a really healthy, relatively slow climb, which is good for all of us on the show. Because I think to come out of the barrel and just be a phenomenon must be pretty jarring.
Maxim Interview
Anthony discusses the charity work that his foundation does:
We started this foundation maybe six or seven years ago. But for me, it was always more about getting into the nitty-gritty of things and giving back to the underprivileged neighborhoods, refurbishing neighborhoods and basketball courts, and just giving kids in the community that feeling once again. There’s no more community feeling out there, and for me it’s about trying to get that back.
