Well, love is confusing at all ages, but especially when you're 17.
I remember I was walking through a store, and I saw clothes a 25-year-old would wear. And the conversation in my head was, 'I'm not young and fabulous anymore.' But, immediately, there was a voice that said, 'No, you can be older and fabulous.' In other words, still just as fabulous, but in a different way.
The only thing I insist that everybody do is there has to be a basketball court in every game I do, and - with one exception, I let them get away with it once - you can actually shoot a ball through the basket in every game I've made.
I was never against marriage per se. Before feminism, I didn't think you had any choice. In fact, for a long time I always assumed I would get married. I just didn't see any marriages I wanted to emulate, so I kept putting it off.
Education does loads of things for girls that won't surprise you at all - it provides self-esteem, teaches important life skills, and offers the kinds of choices a good education can give anyone.
The real joy is in constructing a sentence. But I see myself as an actor first because writing is what you do when you are ready and acting is what you do when someone else is ready.
This is a serious, serious condition that is also called postpartum psychosis. And that's where, literally, you get so bad that you end up either hurting the baby or killing yourself.
You can be in Ohio and shoot your own web series, if you want. If this had been around when I was in high school, I can guarantee you that my friends and I would have been shooting our own television shows and putting them online and trying to get as many hits as possible.
In space, you don't get that much noise. Noise doesn't propagate in a vacuum.
I think I learned years ago when I went to Hawaii that you don't bring puka shells back. You've got to be careful of your vacation purchases.
Lovie Smith and I are not only the first two African-Americans but Christian coaches showing that you can win doing it the Lord's way and we're more proud of that.
As players, we always have a way to get back at you.
You start out giving your hat, then you give your coat, then your shirt, then your skin and finally your soul.
It isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are - not necessarily a religious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within - that you can begin to take control.
The goal as an actor is to constantly surround yourself with amazing artists who challenge you and make you grow.
I could always flip between emotions and be available to suddenly do something new. I think it's a part of playing, and you hang onto it when you're a kid.
The studios knew how to build a star, and they knew what to do with you. They also taught you everything.
The more you are talked about the less powerful you are.
If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.
The whole point of diaries is that other people find them and read what you've put. I did once take to writing my inner thoughts on the computer at the end of other things I was writing and ended up faxing four pages of hideous stuff to my accountant so I don't do that now.
It is important for you to know who you are and who you may become. It is more important than what you do, even as vital as your work is and will be.
See things as you would have them be instead of as they are.
How would you like a job where when you made a mistake, a big red light goes on and 18,000 people boo?
When you make a movie outside the system and it's successful critically or a moderate financial success, you usually have to go back into the system and make a big hit.
You're always looking for good scripts and when they're not always forthcoming you go mad.
Walking into a room filled with people you don't know but who know you brings out your worst vulnerabilities.
Today there are hundreds of millions of mobile devices, but you do have to know a bit about what each device is capable of doing in order to approach it as a developer.
It's so important for girls to respect themselves and not put themselves down and say, 'Oh, my life is horrible,' and 'I'm not pretty enough.' How do you know? There's this energy people give off that people can be drawn to.
What I love about collaborating is that you're working with other minds that work differently to yours.
You are either going forward or you are not.
I always write after I think for quite a long time, so the actual writing time is rather short. I think a lot of the work gets done when you have something on your mind while you're doing many other things.
As a scholar, you don't want to repeat yourself, ever. You're supposed to say it once, publish it, and then it's published, and you don't say it again. If someone comes and gives a scholarly paper about something they've already published, that's just terrible. As a university president, you have to say the same thing over and over and over.
The more restrictions you have, the easier anything is to write.
I like the Dakine Ryder 24L pack because it's simple, it's steezy, and it's perfect for traveling. It comes with a padded laptop sleeve and a travel pocket at the top for your passport and other things you need quick access to.
When you're Judy Garland and you want something, you just pick up the phone and call somebody. Anybody.
You've had some terrific print information that gets everybody's attention in this town.
