A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.

May I share with you my earliest memory of a political row? It was with my mother about the Queen - classic Freudian stuff shrinks would say. I was eight and refusing to watch the Queen's Christmas Day broadcast.

For a long time all I wanted for Christmas were books about outdoor survival. I was convinced that the woods were calling me. I camped a lot I took classes. At 18 I told myself if I don't live in the woods by myself by the time I'm 25 I have failed.

The United States strongly condemns the illegal disclosure of classified information. It puts people's lives in danger threatens our national security and undermines our efforts to work with other countries to solve shared problems.

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

Women are still second-class citizens.

Women of the working class especially wage workers should not have more than two children at most. The average working man can support no more and and the average working woman can take care of no more in decent fashion.

I chose Sony Classics not just because of their practical experience not just because of their wisdom in marketing but mainly because of their integrity.

I use filming as an excuse to take classes. I got my certification in sailing for 'Wedding Crashers ' and now I can handle a 26-foot boat. I played a seamstress once so I took sewing classes. I love dipping into these other lives.
