The idea that we're going to austerity ourselves into prosperity is so mistaken, and honestly, I feel like one of the big problems we have is that, because Democrats don't have a deep understanding of or degrees in economics, they allow Wall Street folks to roll in the door and think that they're giving them an education.
I've been surprised by Austin. I had a cowboy image of the place. It's a pretty sophisticated city - in some ways, more sophisticated than Boston. And there's a lighter feel to the place. It's very good for my spirits.
If you're Australian, you feel it in your bones because you're at odds with everybody else, except other Australians, in the sense that people always seem to be behaving strangely. People always seem to be behaving the wrong way, in a different way. You say things and there are silences.
I just feel like a Filipina, a Filipino woman, and it just so happens that when I was growing up, I was very much an Australian, and I think you can be both.
To me, words convey feelings, and feelings are just vibrations that we feel, so words are never as authentic as what feelings are and what intentions are.
As I grow older, I feel like my authentic self has been able to shine through more and more, and people can see that.
I feel more comfortable being confrontational and authoritative. It's important for women in this business.
Movies are a collaboration, I feel, so I didn't think of myself as an authoritative figure as much.
We had a severely autistic kid in my class, and I was always picked last in gym class, even after him. Naturally, that made me feel pretty bad as an eight-year-old.
When mom and dad were at the height of their careers, and things were super-crazy, and they couldn't leave their houses, there wasn't social media. It was all about autographs. Now, everyone's the press. I feel fame is perforated: it can be glorious, but it can completely destroy a human, too.
Even now I will go to, like, an industry event, and all the ladies will be over here and all the guys over here, and I will go to the guys' table and sit because I just feel I can have a much better conversation over there. And that's automatic; it's not prejudice.
I definitely feel like people in the South are a little more raw. Our whole swag, the way we talk... When I go to the East Coast, people automatically know I'm not from there.
I feel like I grew up in the circus. I know planes, trains and automobiles. And really talented, weird people.
Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don't feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.
But I do feel a little teeny right now that I'm just about ready to start, and winter is entering. Half past autumn has arrived.
You feel that there is an avalanche coming when you meet the right person.
I don't appreciate avant-garde, electronic music. It makes me feel quite ill.
I was walking down fifth avenue today and I found a wallet, and I was gonna keep it, rather than return it, but I thought: well, if I lost a hundred and fifty dollars, how would I feel? And I realized I would want to be taught a lesson.
Whatever avenue I feel like I can make a difference in, I'd love to do.
I think the average American has forgotten the great feel for liberty and accountability that the framers of the Constitution believed.
