To me, it isn't tight sweaters. That's not what rap is. That's not hip-hop at all. Every phase went through changing up their dress styles and all that, but since Run DMC came out, it's been baggy jeans.
We need someone who is going to stand up, speak up, and speak out for the people who need help, for the people who have been discriminated against.
The power to shape Oregon's future remains where it has always been - in our collective hands.
America, when it became known to Europeans, was, as it had long been, a scene of wide-spread revolution.
I've been very clear. I won. I didn't commit the crime.
We have never really had absolute privacy with our records or our electronic communications - government agencies have always been able to gain access with appropriate court orders.
Most bands don't make it past two albums and tours, if that. We pulled it off, and everybody's been happy and cool, but we got to the point where we knew it was time to take a break.
They're definitely having their moment now because they know how to work the system, and I know I have to be that way, too, in order to succeed. But it's never been more frustrating for me.
Maybe if everybody in leadership was a woman, you might not get into the conflicts in the first place. But if you watch the women who have made it to the top, they haven't exactly been non-aggressive - including me.
The word 'Christianity' is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
Magic has been something I've been really good at since I was really young. The ability has always come easy to me, I'm not sure why.
It was an exciting time for me personally because the number of times I've been to the playoffs, that was the opportunity to obtain the first ring. That was special, that's for sure.
It's important to feel settled and balanced in life, and that has been tough for me to do.
It has been true in Western societies and it seems to be true elsewhere that you do not find democratic systems apart from capitalism, or apart from a market economy, if you prefer that term.
By the time my first album was out, I had been out in Jamaica three or four years, but I had hits out at that time that were bona fide hits.
I live a life where I have a huge support system, and I've been very lucky.
I don't think the potential for comics in nonfiction has been exploited nearly as much as it could be.
I've always been with God, even in my darkest hour. That is why I say I am alive. I mean, I should have died a number of times.
I think that a lot of these cops have been put in very difficult situations and tasked with very difficult jobs with very little training and very little help.
I've been in LA for 5 years now, and it's been very freeing creatively.
In order to stay where I am - and I want to do that - I have to stay dedicated as well as I have been before I became No. 1.
I've been fortunate to play many different types of characters thus far. However, I really enjoy playing roles that are different than who I am personally. You can have these small fantasy worlds where you can be people you would otherwise never get to be: a doctor, a lawyer, a ruthless business woman.
Well, I'm an artist to the core. And my objective has always been to use my talents and my skills to elevate humanity through my art.
I've never really been very good at marriage. It's one of my failures. I've tried my best, but I do realise the common denominator is me; it's something I'm doing.
Since the new film has been out, I'm doing quite a lot but then in July I will start doing things at home. I have to fix the house up, see the grandchildren and such.
As parents, we need to send our kids back to 'old-fashioned' outdoor summer camps, which have been on the decline as the demand for sports and academics-based camps has risen. We need to fight budget cuts to public parks programs and resist closures of public swimming pools and playgrounds.
Television has always been our No. 1 competition. But I know firsthand that you can create an experience you can't get on television. I also know that the social experience has an appeal.
There are occasions when I've pretended to be in a firefight, and then there are people who have really been in a firefight. Clearly it's absolutely ridiculous, and even disrespectful, to suggest that I understand what that is.
Sometimes you trust someone who turns out not to be honest. There are a lot of things that happen in life that don't turn out the way you're given the impression that they will. And I think that's all kind of a con. But I think we've probably all been hurt.
It's hard to see a film that's been made from a book that you really loved because it's such a different experience.
The thing which attracted me to Google and to the Internet in general is that it's a great equalizer. I've always been struck by the fact that Google search worked the same, as long as you had access to a computer with connectivity, if you're a rural kid anywhere or a professor at Stanford or Harvard.
Nothing matters but the writing. There has been nothing else worthwhile... a stain upon the silence.
China, with her five thousand years of history, her vast territory and her enormous population stands like a mountain peak among the nations of the world. Her contribution to the civilization of mankind is imperishable. She has been a keen lover of peace; she has had a deep respect for international justice.
My fascination has been the space between cloth and the body, and using a two-dimensional element to clothe a three-dimensional form.
I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if I'd got 'Downton Abbey' when I was 22.
You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.
