Normally street children are shown in terms of the tragedy of their lives - which is true - but there's also another dimension: their wisdom dignity and enormous capacity for survival.
Even when my parents were together they both had to travel and work and it wasn't like they had nine-to-five jobs. In that way it wasn't a normal family life.
For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I'm human and I'm normal - well semi-normal.
I don't want to just be in the normal kind of teen movie.
I mean I'm pretty good in real life but sometimes people seem surprised that I'm like a normal teenager and wear black nail polish and I'm just a little bit more edgy than the person I play on television.
I'm not a tech guy. I'm looking at the technology with the eyes of my customers normal people's eyes.
Today the technology is there to give early and normally ample warning when a powerful tornado approaches. When a tornado strikes all of us are at risk.
Grief is a normal and natural response to loss. It is originally an unlearned feeling process. Keeping grief inside increases your pain.
Though I had success in my research both when I was mad and when I was not eventually I felt that my work would be better respected if I thought and acted like a 'normal' person.
But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups.
