As far as I'm concerned, it's no good being able to wail out smokin' leads if your rhythm chops hugg!
I'm boiling about the rainforests being chopped down to make disposable chopsticks. I'm boiling about the fact that we have palm oil put into every single one of our substances.
From my experience as an actor, choreographer, action director, and producer, I understand the elements and the dynamics of being a film maker.
Being in Hollywood is like being in the Christian right these days.
Christianity is a lifestyle. And being a Christian is more than a label.
Christine and the Queens is about not being safe.
I frankly couldn't imagine being a series mystery-fiction writer, churning out book after book about the same viewpoint character.
An awful lot of successful technology companies ended up being in a slightly different market than they started out in. Microsoft started with programming tools, but came out with an operating system. Oracle started doing contracts for the CIA. AOL started out as an online video gaming network.
To me, being grown-up meant smoking cigarettes, drinking cocktails, and dressing up in high heels and glamourous outfits.
When I finally came to the United States, I was forced to get a job right away. I spoke no English - none. I started working as an aesthetician in this beautiful boutique salon in Beverly Hills. Being an aesthetician didn't require an elaborate vocabulary in English. My first client was Cindy Crawford! I swear.
No kid is seeking anything when he joins a gang; he's always fleeing something. He's not being pulled; he's being pushed by the circumstances in which he finds himself.
I don't want to end up being a circus act, doing my most famous tricks when I'm 70.
I'm tired of being treated like a second-class citizen.
Since being elected to the City Council, I have been unwavering in my commitment to address issues uniquely impacting women and girls and advance policies that stabilize and strengthen our communities.
I don't think marriage is a civil right, but I think that being able to transfer property is a civil right.
Civilisation was built around wheat, around people settling down and not being nomadic. Baking is one of the oldest professions.
This I regard as a classic example of my not being properly prepared for a part I very much wanted.
I would absolutely classify as being incredibly progressive the fact that I am the third female prime minister.
I'm not very good at being domesticated. I've tried. The domestic life I find claustrophobic - the rituals and habits and patterns.
I enjoy a four-seasonal climate and wide-open spaces, so being on an island 2,500 miles into the South Pacific made me feel a little claustrophobic.
