We can't go to people who have lost their job at GM and say 'Oh by the way we are going to pay money to build a road here or inoculate children there ' unless we can demonstrate that it is in America's interest. I happen to think it is.

A system of capitalism presumes sound money not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings not credit creation by a central bank.

It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. I can tell you though: If they don't really want to build a company they won't luck into it. That's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion you'll give up.

You know a lot of people are just interested in in building a company so they can make money and get out.

Everyone in my family is an artist. Both my parents are painters and my mom's an opera singer. I was never shown any other way to process life.

I always had an interest in fashion because my mom is a celebrity fashion stylist. I grew up being on set or in showrooms.

When I was little we lived on 8 acres and my mom had a horse. But when I was 7 my mom kicked my dad out and then in order to feed us five kids she got critters cheap or for free and raised them for food. We milked a cow raised chickens pigs and beef cattle. We heated our one-story house with wood and stayed cold all winter.

I've always been homeschooled so doing it on set is kind of the same thing. My mom makes it very interactive - we'll get a book on chocolate and learn how to make it or she will buy antique items. I love military history the mechanics and strategy of it.

I wasn't always a writer. When I went to college and majored in fine arts I was a painter. Then I was a stay-at-home mom.

My mom did costumes for the Pointer Sisters.
