(August 1984) A lot of people thought that I was a black artist before they saw my videos, because a lot of my music is more R&B oriented, and I think that I`m a white artist doing R&B music, getting played on pop stations. And I think that the kind of records I make are really changing people`s ideas of splitting up and categorizing artists and I think that`s opening ways for black and white artists as well.

- MadonnaWe were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.
- Paul McCartneyIt has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn`t keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don`t regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don`t want to go into!
- Agnetha FältskogMy entire family were Democrats all our lives. But because how furious I was about the previous administration and the particular person running that administration, I turned in my card to become a Republican because I did not want to be known as a Democrat under that person`s regime. I`m a traditionalist. I have certain values that I live by, and he practices none of those things, so he can never be what I consider to be a great man. But I don`t go around saying he`s not my president. He`s out of office now, so I can say that I never truly accepted him in my heart. And I`ll never say anywhere down the line, I`ll never reflect back on this moment in time and say it was a good period for the American people. Because the economy was good, anything goes, and that troubles me. I think many of them are very comfortable with money and don`t have to subject themselves to anything other than say, hey - maybe I`m guilty for having all this, and I want to make believe I`m splitting it with the less fortunate. We talk about Hollywood being pro-labor, yet about 70% of our industry has been farmed out to Canada, meaning we are losing jobs like crazy. Where`s organized labor asking how we can allow such a thing to happen? The producers know that if they go to Canada, they can make a picture for one-third the price they can in the U.S.
- Danny AielloThere was absolutely no intention of splitting up. We had so many great ideas to use on the new album. John Paul Jones was incredible, coming to the studio each day with new instruments to play.
- John BonhamSome churches from time to time had gone through the trauma of splitting. Churches would call him in. He had a ministry of helping them to heal.
- David CloudWe used a two tailback system tonight. I thought Marquis Browning and Rodney Bragg did a great job splitting time. We were able to have fresh legs going into the fourth quarter.
- Richard MooreThere is no room for legal hair-splitting when it comes to the humane treatment of detainees - not in a nation founded on the rule of law and respect for human rights.
- Alan UkeI am not interested in splitting the white vote.
- Alexander IzosimovThey called themselves an army. They were planning on recruiting more armies. They were planning on splitting up and forming smaller cells and going into different areas, recruiting more members and just growing until they had started a full scale war in this country.
- Amrullah Saleh
