Just as characteristic perhaps is the intellectual interdependence created through the development of the modern media of communication: post telegraph telephone and popular press.
I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling.
Our most tragic error may have been our inability to establish a rapport and a confidence with the press and television with the communication media. I don't think the press has understood me.
I see dance being used as communication between body and soul to express what it too deep to find for words.
Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment.
People can undergo a sudden change of thinking and loyalties under threat of death or intense social pressure and isolation from friends and family.
When I joined Bill Clinton's start-up presidential campaign in 1991 I was confident that women would play an ever more important role but I never gave a minute's thought to what would happen if we won. When we did - and I became the first woman to serve as White House press secretary - it changed my life. But it didn't change the world.
People with high blood pressure diabetes - those are conditions brought about by life style. If you change the life style those conditions will leave.
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
I don't think people change. I think they definitely mature. But I think the essence of what I am today is the same as when I was five years old. It's just maturity. I've become a healthier fuller expression of that essence.
