Once I am in the square circle, I am in my home.
You know when I feel inwardly beautiful? When I am with my girlfriends and we are having a 'goddess circle'.
Could it be that my circle is largely black and that it is why I am influential in black circles but not in white circles?
I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also, much more than that. So are we all.
I'm not saying we have power over everything in our lives - if that were true, my hair would look so, so different - but I am saying that there's no circumstance in which we are completely powerless.
I am convinced after more than 50 years in the field of motivation that anyone who wants to learn to look at life and/or their circumstances in a positive light can do so.
So we see Edward as a young man on the road and he meets a giant and he brings the giant to a circus where he meets a Miss Calloway. He sees the woman of his dreams and I am the only one who knows who she is.
I keep saying I am an auto-didact, but I have a lot of outside influences. One I could cite is juggler Francis Brunn, who was the first man to throw ten rings in the air; he was really an amazing juggler who showed onstage the quest for perfection.
While I am reluctant to cite sexism as a political issue, sexism certainly can exist.
I am shocked and deeply saddened by McQueen's death. He was a genius, and his talent was second to none. Like many others, I always cited him as a hugely inspirational leader of world fashion. He will be greatly missed.
I have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I'm a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself - all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.
I am joining the government not from the academic position but from St. Petersburg city council.
I am at a crossroads; I have always been against armed opposition... I have chosen civil disobedience. But I will apologize to my people if there are funerals coming out of prisons. I will criticize myself and I won't be the mayor of Diyarbakir.
Having served in the Nixon Administration, I am well aware of how the political leadership of an administration can try to politicize the civil service, including law enforcement.
I am much more passionate about cities than I am about nations. The competition between cities is more civilised than between nations. There is an understanding there.
I will attack ideas very hard. I am not shy about that one bit. So I don't want people to think that because I had a call for civility that that means I shy away from debate and that I'm agreeable. That's not the case. What is the case is that I will not question who you are as a person.
I am a New Yorker, and 7:00 A.M. is a civilized hour to finish the day, not to start it.
I am not aware that any community has a right to force another to be civilized.
I am for a system of universal health care where every American has health care as a fundamental right because I think that's where we should be as a civilized society.
Because I believe in God and have faith in God, it doesn't mean I am immortal. It doesn't mean I am immune, as has been claimed. I am as scared as anyone of getting hurt, especially driving a Formula One car.
