One of the things I've always personally tried to stress with this band was to have some kind of visual aspect and to be consistent with it - like, not to change.
You can perform all kind of characters but you cannot change what people feel for you.
I was the classic liberal, left-wing, 'Theater is going to change the world' kind of person. You know, very, very boring.
People have nannies and big cars, and they want to go to Maui for Christmas. When there are those kind of stakes involved, people get ruthless.
'White Christmas' is one of my favorite movies, so I've always just had a love for that kind of golden era musical.
I'll tell you, I never thought I'd ever be going into law, and certainly not the same kind of law as my dad.
Stories hold conflict and contrast, highs and lows, life and death, and the human struggle and all kinds of things.
People are hysterical about the death of newspapers, and I would say, 'They're not dying; they're just kind of reinventing themselves.'
I grew up with a heavy diet of gospel, folk, and blues because those are kind of the cornerstones of traditional American music.
I try to not be too hard on myself regarding my diet. I've always been a workout-to-eat kind of a girl.
I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.
Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.
Water and sanitation has not had the same kind of champion that global health, and even education, have had.
If you improve your education system, there's no telling what kind of businesses you'll be able to attract.
I think that you form the way that you act from others around you; it's a kind of an environmental thing.
If America is too arrogant, too prideful to repent, it's not the kind of country that God wants it to be.
I identified with Pip from 'Great Expectations,' especially when I was younger; I had the same kind of gaucheness and uncertainty.
The early seasons of 'The Simpsons' had a great deal of heart. That's what I'm trying to pull from, the kind of stuff that goes straight to kids' hearts. When they're watching, they don't necessarily know why they love something.
O'Neill presents a very complex multi-layered kind of challenge. His characters are always deeply complex and, to a great extent, inaccessible.
I've always been interested in any kind of great music, and African music is, I think, the source of it all.
When I was on the ice, in the lights, with the music and the motion, there was a certain kind of flirtation that gave great energy and expressiveness to my performance.
