One's mind has a way of making itself up in the background and it suddenly becomes clear what one means to do.

That's what happens nowadays with people working on computers. They can so easily fix things with their mouse and take out all the 'Oh somebody coughed in the background we need to take that out' - or somebody hit a bad note. Those are all the best moments.

No matter the nationality no matter the religion no matter the ethnic background America brings out the best in people.

I like the idea of accessibility coming from a lower-middle-class background myself I feel like beauty and products should be accessible to all women over the world.

Even with or perhaps because of this background I have over the past few years sensed a very dramatic change in attitude on the part of Prince Edward Islanders towards the on-going rush for so-called modernization.

I've sort of escaped my background as people often do through art and culture.

I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage to love my first language Spanish to learn about Mexican history music folk art food and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.

I think music is the greatest art form that exists and I think people listen to music for different reasons and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music and some of it is things that might affect a person's day if not their life or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something.

The anger that Uncle Junior has comes from my background. My father was the son of an Italian immigrant and I've seen the fire of the Italian temperament. It can be explosive sometimes in ways that are both funny and tragic.

I was friends with all different people and all different groups. And that led me to being friends with a few people who didn't even go to my school. Now I have the most amazing collection of friends of all ethnic backgrounds and upbringing and financial backgrounds.
