Taking full advantage of all that college offers can be tough for teens facing a major life transition under pressure to perform. Perhaps we should all lower our expectations and let kids find their way.
Empowering women and girls is the only way to protect their rights and make sure they can realise their full potential.
Mentorship plays such an important role in business - we know it's a must - and I believe schools should embrace it in a much fuller way.
I guess I was just always one of those guys who asked those fundamental questions: 'Who am I? What's this for? Why? What does this mean? Is this real?' All these pretty basic questions. I like making movies about people who are self-conscious in that way, and are trying to feel their way through the world.
The only way to eliminate any government choice on what art is worthwhile, what art isn't worthwhile, is to get the government totally out of the business of funding.
Unfortunately, I'm an engineer. I'm always thinking about, what's the task and how do I get it done? And some of my tasks are pretty broad, and pretty fuzzy, and pretty funky, but that's the way I think.
My way of joking is to tell the truth. That's the funniest joke in the world.
The one I remember is going into London, as it was for us in Essex, on New Year's Eve in 1981. There were four of us and we'd had a few lagers on the way. One of my mates threw up in the Tube and then stood up and fell over in it. We thought it was the funniest thing we'd ever seen.

I grew up in a funny way.
One of the things I like about acting is that, in a funny way, I come back to myself.
Plus, I love comic writing. Nothing satisfies me more than finding a funny way to phrase something.
My favorite comedians are just presenting an argument, and they're doing it in a funny way.
I wanted to explain that just because I'm rapping in this funny way doesn't mean that I'm not worthy of actually being evaluated as a rapper.
When I want to have this teenage but funny way to be, I think about Ariana Grande.
I hate comics who look at comedy as therapy. But at least it gets things out of my system in a funny way.
And, in a funny way, each death is different and you mourn each death differently and each death brings back the death you mourned earlier and you get into a bit of a pile-up.
Also, in a funny way, if you have been happily married there are no unresolved areas, nothing to prove to yourself after the other dies.
I've got a funny way of looking at things. It's because I'm dyslexic, and I was diagnosed with ADD when I was younger. And I'm left-handed as well.
