I think, a lot of times, where people see they're insufficient or lacking in certain areas, they feel they're being judged even when they're not. And they condemn themselves more than anyone else does.
I have suffered from being misunderstood, but I would have suffered a hell of a lot more if I had been understood.
I think being nice is more important than being clever.
Being nice is awesome. You have more fun; you meet more people.
In many ways, being pregnant and working were more difficult than motherhood.
When you're used to being prepared to reject conventional wisdom, it leaves you open to learn more.
Whether it be a red eyeliner or a graphic line on the crease of my lids, I'm more attracted to the ideas of something interesting than being 'pretty.'
Being a good listener is more than just being quiet. It's reflecting back on what you're hearing. It's processing the information to formulate a question, a comment or a speech.
I took an improv class in 2005 in Chicago at ComedySportz, which was short-form, more of a games-based improv. I remember it being real fun and helping with my stand-up. If I did an improv class, and then I did stand-up later, I felt looser on stage and more comfortable.

Presence is more than just being there.
Fashion is about dressing according to what's fashionable. Style is more about being yourself.
The greatest thing to be achieved in advertising, in my opinion, is believability, and nothing is more believable than the product itself.
If women believed in their husbands they would be a good deal happier and also a good deal more foolish.
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.
If 'Jingle Belle' harkens back to anything, it's sort of the Harvey Comics. Not really 'Archie,' but more of a teenage version of what Harvey Comics would have become, with the type of fantasy wonderland of her and her various friends.
History is laden with belligerent leaders using humanitarian rhetoric to mask geopolitical aims. History also shows how often ill-informed moralism has led to foreign entanglements that do more harm than good.
As a rough rule of thumb, I would say the smaller the pond, the more belligerent the fish.
We were pretty good mates until the Beatles started to split up and Yoko came into it. It was more like old army buddies splitting up on account of wedding bells.
The brighter the fire in your belly to achieve something special, the more hurts you'll have.
