You get moments all the time that kind of make you pinch yourself some of them make you quite emotional. Winning a BRIT was a big moment because we were just so excited to be at the awards in the first place. Selling out Madison Square Garden was pretty amazing too. Then we woke to the news that our UK tour was sold out. It was crazy.
I've done my best to work from a place of humility - always looking over your shoulder saying 'Does this suck?' and I think that's a good way to work. The other way to work is where you start to think 'I'm on fire I'm amazing!' and I don't think that's the way to work.
I go to Saint Barth in the French West Indies for two weeks each year. That place is amazing. Amazing people beautiful beaches great wine wonderful harbors... It's incredibly romantic.
I spend a good portion of my dinner-party conversation defending America because no matter what the political agenda it's still a fantastic amazing place.
I hope I'm not a tourist attraction - I'm sure that they come here really because St. Andrews is just amazing a beautiful place.
If you're curious London's an amazing place.
If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.
There's a sense of aliveness that comes from connection shared experience. And you see it in every place. You see it when ball players jump up and down gather at home plate hugging and it's not just because they're winning it's that shared moment that feeling of - we enter the world alone we leave alone.
The private interest of the individual would not be sufficiently provided for by reasonable and cool self-love alone therefore the appetites and passions are placed within as a guard and further security without which it would not be taken due care of.
I have tried to be a leader. I have tried in my role of being one of the first women at Google let alone the first woman to have a baby to really try to set the tone that this is a great place to work for diversity reasons.
