It's not so weird that four generations are living together under the same roof and trying to make it work. It's how a lot of people in this country are living right now.
I'm a performer. I push the envelope, I work in a very uncontrolled manner onstage. I do a lot of free association, it's spontaneous, I go into character.
Criticism always seemed to me a lot like police work. You look for clues, fingerprints, motives. You need to construct an airtight case.
I think decor says a lot about someone's social position, their taste, their sensibility, their work - and also about the aesthetic way I have chosen to tell their story.

Everything's a lot easier when you work with someone you know just about as well as you know yourself.
I have absolutely no concept of work, except for university. But I like to talk to people a lot about their jobs.
A lot of people say this honor validates my career, but I didn't work hard for validation.
I think in terms of the work we're doing now a lot of the UI cleanup... I see it getting much prettier.

Audacity is central to everything I do. A lot of times I think my work is about just seeing if I can get away with it.
A musician's attempt to summarize his or her work leads to all this prescriptive chatter, or what I call the 'Modifier's Madness.' A lot of adjectives working overtime.
The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.
I'm a tall woman. At work, that means a lot of my co-stars have to stand next to me on apple crates. But apparently, my height bodes well in the fashion world.
When a writer becomes a reader of his or her own work, a lot can go wrong. It's like do-it-yourself dentistry.
I just have that cop gene going on. I like strong women. I think a lot of women relate to strong characters, and a cop is still a strong character.
I can think of a lot of women clients of mine who are well into their 50s or 60s who are still quintessentially very elegant.
There are lots of women tennis players, for instance, but because not many of them seem to have much personality, they're interchangeable. You don't have a feeling about them.
