The ‘Tough Man’ contests were for 21-year-olds, but I weighed 150 pounds at 13, so I got a fake ID card and entered. My dad and uncles had given me an edge, so having a boxing background made it easier because a lot of the older guys didn’t know how to fight. Tommy Morrison

Joy Reid
When I first started playing I was earning 27.50 a week, and Id offer to clean the senior footballers cars for a couple of quid. Id sweep the stands in the off-season and even paint the changing rooms. Dion Dublin

Reality television is to television what marble and gold are to real estate. The point is to dispense with the idea of taste. It’s all id. The more unrestrained the better. We all know that ‘reality’ in reality television is not real. That anybody who would participate in reality television is a fake. But pretending otherwise makes them real. Michael Wolff
To make sure that votes are never canceled out by illegal votes, we instituted a photo ID requirement. And don’t you think it’s fair to apply at least the same standard required to get a library card or to board an airpane? Rick Perry
Your insurance broker has your telephone number, but your insurance broker doesn’t have your Facebook ID. I think they are very different modes of communication. Commingling them can come with risk and peril. Brian Acton
There is no actual need to tighten voter ID rules: there have been extraordinarily few instances of people committing fraud at the polls. Adam Cohen
Requirements for an ID are not voter suppression – they are just commonsense steps to ensure people don’t vote if they are ineligible, don’t vote using false identities and don’t vote more than once. Charlie Kirk
I think I started going clubbing when I was 14. I remember I made a fake ID and laminated it myself. I forget what the name on it was, but I remember it was something so stupid. We went to Kinko’s to do it. Julia Fox
In 1992, the most treasured voter was a voter that would sort of swing back and forth, one that might vote for Republican for president, Democrat for governor. The voter that didn’t have that strong of a partisan ID. These were the voters that we targeted. James Carville

I grew up in Iowa, and the improv comedy club Comedy-Sportz across the river in Illinois held auditions. They took me even though I was only 16 – you really had to be 18, but they never checked me for ID. Eric Christian Olsen
There’s been times where I sold the place out, and I walked in and the guy’s like, ‘Uh, ID?’ ‘No, you can’t ID me, man. I just sold this place out.’ People are just doing their jobs, but I think if you’re working the door at a venue where there’s a headliner, you should at least be like, ‘OK, this is the dude.’ Hannibal Buress
Where id was, there ego shall be. Sigmund Freud
Re-election comes every six years, which explains why I spend so much time on Twitter.

I’m probably the tweetingest judge in America, which, admittedly, is like being the tallest Munchkin in Oz. Don Willett
The Democratic Party does not want anybody to have a photo ID because that would have a very negative impact on cheating! If you require a photo ID, that pretty much shuts out cheating. Well, it doesn’t shut it out. It just makes it harder, and that’s why they don’t want it. Rush Limbaugh
Voter ID laws have a disproportionate impact on groups that lean democratic – including blacks, hispanics and students. Adam Cohen
I haven’t made many wedding dresses. It’s a dress very, very important for the girl; it’s important to know the person, I believe, but at the same time it should be a shock to the person – the person should be shocked to be suddenly revealed. That’s the work of a designer sometimes, to propose an ID of look. Olivier Theyskens
The United States Supreme Court has voted 6-3 that voter photo ID is constitutional. Bob Ehrlich
I worked my way up in the private sector and implemented Georgia’s tough voter ID law. Karen Handel
Carrying law enforcement ID connects you with those who do the same and separates you from those who don’t. There’s an implicit trust that you will serve even if means risking your life. Scott Glenn

Obama doesn’t run around wearing a Carrie Bradshaw-esque nameplate necklace that says ‘Socialist.’ But his policies, actions, words, background and associations speak louder than any ID necklace ever could. Monica Crowley
Why would the Obama campaign officials oppose any effort to ensure the legitimacy of a campaign contribution? It’s the same reason they oppose voter ID laws. The Obama campaign evidently believes that election fraud and campaign finance fraud are permissible tools for the purpose of retaining power. Tom Fitton
It is clear that the photo ID requirement is not a solution to a problem but is instead a political ploy to prevent traditionally disenfranchised populations from voting for the candidates of their choice. Marc Veasey

The irony is that it was tougher to rent a car from Cerberus when it owned Alamo than to buy a semi-automatic. To rent a car, one had to provide ID, a drivers’ license, and get insurance coverage. To buy a gun? Cash and carry, from the back of a station wagon at a gun show. No concerns about downstream liability or risk. Eliot Spitzer
Florida is very difficult to have name ID… That’s why statewide incumbents usually get reelected in Florida. Ron DeSantis

Do you think that when they asked George Washington for ID that he just whipped out a quarter? Steven Wright

The N.R.A. has effectively turned itself into the Id of the Right. Charlie Sykes
I guess I’d be put in the ID politics camp. But there is really nothing in the world-view of, say, Bernie Sanders I actually disagree with. I’d like a guaranteed income, single-payer health care, a stronger safety net, etc. The problem is the temptation to paper over historically fraught issues to achieve that is tempting. Ta-Nehisi Coates
Yes, there should be tough border security. Yes, there should be foolproof ID cards, with biometrics, for Social Security and employment purposes. Lawrence Kudlow

If an NSA, FBI, CIA, DIA, etc analyst has access to query raw SIGINT databases, they can enter and get results for anything they want. Phone number, email, user id, cell phone handset id (IMEI), and so on – it’s all the same. Edward Snowden
Introducing ID cards isn’t a matter of great national security importance. Chris Grayling
In the U.S., requiring voters to produce photo ID in order to vote is just part of a much wider and more open system of discrimination against poor and ethnic minority voters. Clive Lewis

With same-day registration, no requirement for a valid, dated photo ID for voters is an invitation to fraud and corruption of our electoral process. Wayne LaPierre

Don’t get me wrong: politicians have been lying for a long time, long before Donald Trump was born, but the degree of just nonstop rage, grievance, prevarication, I haven’t seen, probably because we haven’t had a direct line from a politician’s id to the public before. Jake Tapper
When I am on my board, I always have my ID, ChapStick and maybe a $20 bill, because you never know when you’ll need to buy a water or something. Ryan Sheckler

When I was 11 years old, I was playing for the Lierse youth team, and one of the parents from the other team literally tried to stop me from going on the pitch. He was like, ‘How old is this kid? Where is his ID? Where is he from?’ Romelu Lukaku

I just play it safe when it comes to television because it is WWE’s intellectual property. But it is literally my legal name, like on my ID. My name hasn’t been Cody Runnels since I was 17. But it’s theirs. At no point would I ever want to go into a courtroom with a company I have love and admiration for. Cody Rhodes
The days when the words ‘Hollywood actor’ framed Ronald Reagan like bunny fingers as an ID tag and an implied insult seem far-off and quaint: nearly everybody in politics – candidate, consultant, pundit, and Tea Party crowd extra alike – is an actor now, a shameless ham in a hoked-up reality series that never stops. James Wolcott
I started playing in New York when I was 16. I had a fake ID so I could play shows, and, I don’t know, bouncers didn’t really say no to me, I guess. I’m fun! Elle King

Voting shouldn’t be a challenge. It should be as easy and accessible as possible. We shouldn’t require forms of ID that folks don’t have.

Donna Brazile

Diplo
