I am a student of stupidity. I am a political reporter.
I have a repository of titles I like in my head, and I am always looking for a movie that I can put one on.
I'm not a princess. My mother is, not I. I am the niece of a head of state. And with this status, I have some representational duties - nothing very constraining or very exceptional.
How is it reasonable that in a country purporting to be a democracy, I am not permitted to speak freely? Why, as a politician, should I be banned from expressing political opinions? Why, as a student of history, can I not present the facts as I see them, without fear of reprisal?
I find it interesting to see people - mostly people who are younger than I am - going to considerable trouble to try to reproduce things from an era that was far more physical, from a less virtual day.
I am telling you, as a president of the country, I do not find it a mistake to listen to you and to respond to your requests and demands. But it is shameful and I will not, nor will ever accept to hear foreign dictations, whatever the source might be or whatever the context it came in.
I am less disposed to think of a West Point education as requisite for this business than I was at first. Good sense and energy are the qualities required.
I never watch 'Sopranos' reruns back home. As far as I am concerned, the nuclear family is still sitting around the luncheonette in New Jersey, munching and chatting, safe and together, and that's how it ended for me.
I am in the process of starting a nonprofit organization that gives rescued animals a home in a simulated wild environment and, for those who have been tested on, who are disabled, aggressive, etc., their own space to live out their days.
I am not a farmer; I am a researcher who studies the plants that come to your dinner table, which means that I ask questions for a living.
I am not much of a researcher as a novelist; I write mainly from experience.
As a heart surgeon I am on constant call, and when not researching or giving lectures, I like to be with my family.
As a rule, I am lazy and prefer to avoid anything resembling work, and research feels like work, as opposed to my strong suit, which is sitting around making things up.
I've come to realize I'm more spiritual than I am religious. What I mean by this: As far as praying to God goes, I'm more about looking inside for inner guidance - tapping into our own abundantly powerful inner resources - which, I suppose, is where some might say God does indeed reside.
I am the Attributeless, Absolute, Nirguna. I have no name, no residence.
What happens when you take a lion out of the safari and try to take him to your place of residence and make him a house pet? It ain't going to happen. That's the type of person that I am. I'm that lion.
Right now I am doing my residency in orthopedic research.
I am not a particularly political person, but, as a Tribeca resident, the commodification of September 11th is offensive to me.
I am interested in classic building development, such as hotels and residential homes, rather than commercial properties.
I am resigning because my secret leaves the governor's office vulnerable.
