I always loved my mother, felt loved, but she was judgmental. Her father in Ireland didn't approve of women generally, and she took on his values. She believed her own mother was foolish.
Generally, variations in earnings aren't nearly as impactful on glamour growth stocks as are changes in image and, well, sexiness. I often think of glamour stocks as though they are attractive women dressing to the nines.
There's a whole generation of women who never really heard the word investment before, when it came to fashion. They've been buying things because they were cheap.
With journalism, films always have to be to do with some personal statement of your own. As a general rule, I resist that. In the States, a question that kept coming up was this: 'How can you, as a man, talk about three women?'
Being a mother is complicated because it's not just a paternal culture making demands on you; it's those internal demands and expectations that women have and are self-generated.

The First World War, and especially the latest one, largely swept away what was left in Europe of feudalism and of feudal landlords, especially in Poland, Hungary, and the South East generally.
After a Polish Pope, whose country was first to be invaded by the Germans in World War Two, we now have someone from the generation drafted at the close of the war.
The Iraq War was the biggest issue for people of my generation in the West. It was also the clearest case, in my living memory, of media manipulation and the creation of a war through ignorance.
I was with the U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali on the day that Srebrenica fell, which happened to be a huge historical turning point in the Bosnian war.
Abraham Lincoln went through 12 generals before he got Ulysses S. Grant. He had never done a Civil War before.
Mr. Reagan spent World War II, the global conflict fought and won by his generation, making training films in Hollywood.
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
Our life is what our thoughts make it.
I was raised to believe that we all have a civic duty and a responsibility as Americans to improve our neighborhoods and our nation.
These are our borders, and we have to secure our borders.
Our vanity is the constant enemy of our dignity.
Our thoughts create our future.
We all have our secrets. We all have our vulnerabilities.
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
This is a great time in our lives and careers.
