We have all these strong men in politics - whether it's Brazil, or the Philippines, or Trump, or Putin. They're all big men: it's let's look up to them, don't be afraid, they're looking after things. It's so fundamentally anti-democratic.
Looking back, I was a very good kid, very studious and all. But I would always come out with a quip - and I was sent to the principal's office several times.
I was looking everywhere, from horoscopes to just sitting, thinking, and writing, and I stumbled on life path numbers. And before I even knew anything about them, I just went straight to the number six.
There's always room for improvement, but the judges are looking for big airs and stylish tricks.
There's a thing in the U.K., particularly in London, where it's kind of the idea of subculture and counterculture and the outside and the idea that it's great to be a freak, and the freak always wins. So I think English girls are a lot less scared of being the freak or looking like an idiot.

The message of the movie is to accept who you are and not to succumb to the pressure of what the media tells you is beautiful and what you should be looking like.
I'm looking forward to the time they describe me as the former president. And, of course, there are pressures from my own party and other Sudanese parties also, and I succumb to those pressures, but I hope as soon as possible I can find an exit out of this.
I liked Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard, Ali... those were the guys I was looking at growing up.
We're seeing a much larger ministry here for the general community. Not just Catholics, but others are calling us too. They're not looking for lawyers or suing their grandfathers, but counseling and healing.
Christmas is always the most fun. I start looking forward to Christmas before it's even summertime.
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
I was always looking up to supermodels. They were, like, my superheroes.
Believe it or not, I don't wake up looking like a supermodel.
Everyone is looking for the sure thing. They are looking to hedge their bet. They think the way to do that is to go with a proven quantity, a remake of something you have already seen. That is their mindset.
