I was labeled at a young age - Miss Unemotional Miss Cool and that would carry over to my press conferences.
When I was younger the pressure was just being cool. I never thought of myself as a cool guy. I always thought of myself as more of the goofy guy.
It's cool to express myself but I've had to learn that doing interviews isn't completely therapy - spilling everything about yourself isn't healthy all the time. But I've been through things that have made me a stronger person and if I can help some people I will.
It's interesting to feel the pressure of having to be outgoing because I think in general as a human being I'm pessimistic and introverted. But it's cool because it's a whole different side of me and I impress myself. Even at times when I think that there's no possible way that I can be engaging I'll suddenly pull it out and impress myself.
I realized that I loved using computers to create something but being an architect just wasn't going to keep me interested. The idea of a life spent obsessing over bathroom details for an Upper East Side penthouse was pretty depressing.
Right now computers which are supposed to be our servant are oppressing us.
One of the most feared expressions in modern times is 'The computer is down.'
As soon as you judge communication a little more rigorously there is a possibility that the message will not be democratized. I have to say what I believe to be right. I have to spread out the statement among all the means of expression available to us at present.
It has to be able to play at the maximum expression and communication in every style and the only way you can do that is - like Verdi said - working with a file every day little by little until the orchestra's collective qualities emerge.
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.
Those issues are biblical issues: to care for the sick to feed the hungry to stand up for the oppressed. I contend that if the evangelical community became more biblical everything would change.
We are not victims of aging sickness and death. These are part of scenery not the seer who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit the expression of eternal being.
We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.
We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate it oppresses.
The trick at Le Mans is to get the car 'in the window.' Everything is critical: the tyre pressure the brake temperature and that means you have to push the car a lot to get it into the window - it's about getting everything to work right and getting the car to flow through the corners.
