Mumbai is home, so there's no comparison. But then again, New York's a lot like Mumbai, which is why I choose to live there. It's fast, crowded (in a good way), the people are friendly and it's full of color and race, like Mumbai. Unfortunately, the traffic's also just as bad.
I definitely have managed to overcome dyslexia now to become a fully functional human being but things were a lot more difficult when I was younger.
Musically, I didn't relate to Berlin. There seemed to be a lot of machine music made there - I don't think I saw a stringed instrument in two years.
Women have a level of outward compassion that a lot of men don't necessarily have. Guys feel as deeply as women, but they don't share it as much.
I was molded, spent my time underneath a lot of goo. And then the bits and pieces were sculpted. It took probably 10 days to create each character after all those camera tests.
It's hard to encapsulate my inspiration because there are so many different looks, but I think it's just like, sexy girl you see walking down the street in a cool outfit. A lot of eyelet, a lot of leather, playing with the hard and the soft, the good and bad inside of us all.
I don't belong to a motorcycle club, but I know a lot of guys who do. I ride with some guys who do.
This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I'm relieved and proud to have done this film.
I feel bound to respect Ronald Reagan, as every American should - not least because he chose a career of public service when he could have made a lot more money doing something else, and not least because he took genuine risks for peace.
Fame and money and all that - you hear people say it a lot, but they don't mean a thing to me.
There's a lot of times that both myself and my brother wish, obviously, that we were just completely normal.
I think, as an artist, I wear a lot of different hats, and people have to join all of the dots.
People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.
A lot of people have tried to put labels on me, but right now I'm focused on being Kristi Noem and getting my message out to South Dakotans.
I brought a lot of my own pieces of clothes to the design room when I first met with the design team just so they could see what my style was like.
Now, I was on drugs, and that didn't help a whole lot. He hated that. That was part of where Chet and I had problems, so I take complete blame for that.
I'm probably a lot more closer in the 1500m to the world record than I am in the 5000m.
The first sequel thing I wrote was this 'Forever Dawn' thing that will never get out, because it's horrid. But it's a really good outline for 'Breaking Dawn' - it's very similar. I knew what I was doing, which is good, because I think if I hadn't, there might have been a lot of pressure.
Spend a lot of time talking to customers face to face. You'd be amazed how many companies don't listen to their customers.
I think, like a lot of other people who have been in the service, you'd been delayed in what you were doing. You wanted to catch up and the best way to catch up was to move as fast as you could toward a degree.
I'm just this committed dilettante. I think what I've found is that I've tried to do a lot of different things in my life and discovered I'm not as good at them as I'd want to be.
The way to lose weight is to eat less, so I ate a lot less for a month and lost a lot of weight pretty quickly.
People are bringing a lot more of that funk element into their music, you know, with Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson - that's one that you never thought you would hear something like that on the radio again 'cause it just sounds so much like the Back Bay and what they were doing with music back then.
People are surprised to find out that an awful lot of people think that they're idiots.
Shaving my head was a millennium ritual, to not let it pass as just another New Year's Eve. A lot has happened to me in the last couple of years, personally and spiritually. I wanted to mark it for myself.
The really cool thing about festivals is that you're getting to play in front of a whole lot of people who have never heard of us before. That's exciting. At the same time, it's a little bit of a challenge to capture the attention of people who have already seen a lot of bands.
Will Ferrell makes me laugh a lot when he gets out there and gets crazy.
I have competed before empty stadiums a lot in my career.
I value my independence a lot, and the thought of having to lose that due to age or any other reason terrifies me.
My cooking philosophy, what I try to do, is to make a cuisine where the produce and the product shines, compared to some current trends that are maybe more adding additional things, like molecular cuisine, with a lot of additives and chemicals, which are now showing that they could be bad for your health.
There's a level of love that really dissolves a lot of egotism and self-absorption.
I've always been a caretaker; I think a lot of women are. We take care of everybody else first, and very rarely do we think about ourselves.
I like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.
I made a big family when I was working at 'Vogue' for ten years, and I'm still friends with a lot of them.
When I left Ohio when I was 17 and ended up in New York and realised that not all films had the giant crab monsters in them, it really opened up a lot of things for me.
I run six-to-eight miles a day, plus weights and aerobics in the lunch hour. I also lie a lot, which keeps me thin.
