I'm raising kids, and so much of American culture sustains me and gives me things to think about and work on.
Traditional models of work only let us cross out the needs on the very bottom of the pyramid - basic sustenance. On the flipside, independent employment within the network of the new sharing economy addresses our needs for a sense of community and belonging, autonomy and respect, creativity and problem solving.
I think swagger's a confidence. It's a confidence of you knowing that you work hard for your success. A lot of times, you can't develop swagger if you haven't worked hard to succeed.
Being invited to score for 'Black Swan' was a real honour. To have my work form part of such an amazing film is something I am very proud of.
Sweat, sweat, sweat! Work and sweat, cry and sweat, pray and sweat!
I don't feel right unless I have a sport to play or at least a way to work up a sweat.
For work I get so dolled up that it's nice to wear boyfriend jeans and a sweater.
I dress in my 'uniform,' or my own dress code, which reflects my personal method and work ethic. My belief is that my plain T-shirt - I have about 40 of them - or blue sweater helps focus others' attention on me and on what I say.
Originally, back in 1992, DKNY started because I couldn't find a pair of jeans. I also wanted to dress my teenage daughter Gabby. So it was the perfect street wardrobe: jeans, anoraks, jumpsuits, boyfriend jackets, sweaters, skirts and dresses. Then DKNY grew into an entire lifestyle concept, including tailored clothes you wear to work.
In the gym, people's enthusiasm tends to get the best of them. They realize this is their opportunity to say hello or that they love my work... It doesn't matter how profusely you're sweating.
I'm a big fan of Tiesto, and Swedish House Mafia are awesome. I absolutely want to work with them.
There are some scenes that work beautifully in a moving, sweeping master, which is how I like to work.
As one gets older one sees many more paths that could be taken. Artists sense within their own work that kind of swelling of possibilities, which may seem a freedom or a confusion.
I know from my experience as a swimmer that you put in the work and practice, and come game day, your body is ready, and you just have to trust your training.
There have been times when things get stuck in my throat, but you just work it up or down. Like how a swimmer probably can't imagine drowning - their bodies are so used to being in the water. I'm so used to shoving things down my throat.
I usually work out around six times a week, but if I have the 'Swimsuit' issue, I'll work out seven times a week.
The fact is I tried for years to work with the financial industry on reasonable swipe fee reform, but the industry wouldn't have it.
I usually like to keep my hair and makeup routines pretty simple after I work out but always need a little bit of mascara to finish off the look. I just swipe some on and then am good to go for the rest of the day.
There are staples to my show. I have to be conscious about switching things up because I know people who saw me last year will say, 'He did that last time.' But if certain things work, they work.
When I'm working, I have a hard time switching off, and when I'm not working, I have a hard time thinking of ever wanting to work again.
