I once owned a home on an island off the coast of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
I love Oxford Circus, so I can do Primarni, and I can do River Island and Topshop and Selfridges.
In a modern digitalized world, it is possible to paralyze a country without attacking its defense forces: The country can be ruined by simply bringing its SCADA systems to a halt. To impoverish a country, one can erase its banking records. The most sophisticated military technology can be rendered irrelevant. In cyberspace, no country is an island.
Geographically, we are at the periphery of Europe, but I don't see Ireland in that way. The way I see us is as an island at the center of the world.
On a personal note, I was born in Brooklyn. My folks moved out to Long Island when I was quite young, but once a Brooklynite, always a Brooklynite.
New Orleans is like the bad-kid island in 'Pinocchio.'
Pinocchio's really naughty. He's all impulse: 'I want to sleep now. I want to eat that. I want to run off to Pleasure Island.' It's commedia dell'arte meets Grimm's tales.
But Connecticut and Rhode Island have originally realized the most perfect polity as to a legislature.
Puerto Rico is a powerful island.
Culturally, the arts of Puerto Rico is really unmatched by any other island.
I've got a chance to host a show called 'Redneck Island' on CMT. I love doing that show.
To help advance democracy, we need to allow for the reunification of Cuban families and the direct sending of remittances to the island's brave dissidents.
I was bullied at school. The black girl in Central Falls, Rhode Island, in 1973. There'd be 8 or 10 boys; I would count them as I was running.
I'm from Kingston, R.I., sort of on the University of Rhode Island campus - on the margins of that, actually.
The painter leaves his mark. And I just put in two statues in Rhode Island that I'm working on. And I think that's going to make me last longer than me.
I had supported Governor George W. Bush over Senator John McCain in the 2000 Rhode Island presidential primary.
According to the IRS, the wealthiest 400 Americans, who earned an average of roughly $270 million in 2008, paid an average tax rate of just 18.2 percent that year. That's about the same rate paid by a single truck driver in Rhode Island. It's not right, and we need to restore fairness to our tax code.
I've been around the surf culture since I was a kid. I grew up in a beach town in Rhode Island. Then eventually I lived in Dana Point, Calif., a real surf hotbed.
Death Valley is really wide-open - it's bigger than Rhode Island - and it's less a part of California than an ungoverned territory, so there's lots of weird cops-and-robbers stuff going on.
I am extremely privileged to serve Rhode Island in the United States Senate, and that is my only goal and aspiration.
