The political machine triumphs because it is a united minority acting against a divided majority.
The biggest thing politically within fashion is that the clothing should be displayed on different body shapes.
In my work as an actress and an activist, I've spent many years working with low income communities and people of color who don't always have a voice in our political process.
Our political institutions work remarkably well. They are designed to clang against each other. The noise is democracy at work.
I think we can work through a lot of political and international problems, but what really frightens me is what's happening environmentally.
I think politicians know how to misrepresent data in order to support a political agenda. Politicians and the people that work for them - I should say - are expert at that.
I have been studying women's political behavior since the early 1970s and first identified the gender gap in 1980 with the help of legendary pollster Louis Harris.
There is this immediate connection, this intimacy when you're acting because there's no room to be polite or shy. Also, as an actor I get to connect with women I've never met before.
Women tend to give political candidates only about 10 percent of what males give, and males give women candidates only 10 percent of what they give to males.
Up until the First World War, when people turned anti-German, Germany had been described by American political scientists as the model of democracy.
If you were born in Britain after World War II, you see a continuous atmosphere of decline, moral and economic and political.
I used to think that looking across a pillow into the fabulous face of Buster Keaton would be a more thrilling destiny than any screen career.
Love is a career with its own stages, rewards, and failures . . . a vocation as concrete as a calling in the Church, worth giving a lifetime to.
Well, hope for your thrilling career - but remember that if there is to be drama in your life somebody must pay the piper in the coin of suffering. If not you - then someone else.
If you're male, and you're Christian and living in America, your father is your model for God. And sometimes you find your father in your career.
If the first job one has in a given profession acts as a tuning fork for the career that follows, Frederick Thomas was attuned from the start to a pitch of the highest quality.
I was never a glamour puss whose career was really based on a look or an attitude. I've been basically playing the same parts I am at 55 that I was at 35. I get cast as strong women, and that can be a mother or a judge or anything.
Any time a running back reaches the age of 31 or 32, he has to lose a step. No one is a freak of nature. No one is going to be able to take the pounding a running back has to take over a 10- or 12-year career and not lose a step.
I had known that I'd wanted to be an actor from a very early age, but I had always known that I wanted to have a dual career. I wanted to be an actor, and I also at that time wanted to be a rock star.
I wouldn't say there isn't a direct path to a successful career. There are people who knew exactly what they wanted to do from a very young age, weren't going to be diverted, and then they just went out and achieved it.
Fiction writing was in my blood from a very young age, but I never considered writing as a real career. I thought you had to have some literary pedigree to be a successful author, the son of Hemingway or Fitzgerald.
