I never cut class. I loved getting A's I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.

When I grew up we had gym at school two or three dance classes after school ice skating lessons and all sorts of sports at our finger tips. We weren't glued to computers because they didn't exist so being active was all we knew.

Musicians and journalists are the canaries in the coalmine but eventually as computers get more and more powerful it will kill off all middle-class professions.

Computers in classrooms are the filmstrips of the 1990s.

We are like a woman with a difficult pregnancy. We have to rebuild the social classes in Egypt and we must change the way things were.

Believe it or not lots of people change their majors and abandon their dreams just to avoid a couple of math classes in college.

The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal.

In America the schools have become too permissive the kids now are controlling the schools the tail is wagging the dog. We've got to make a change there and get it back to where the teachers have control of the classrooms.

Driving with one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brake is likely to get you nowhere but certainly will burn out vital parts of your car. Similarly cutting taxes on the middle class but increasing them on the 'rich' is likely to result in an economic burnout.

It's sad that women characters have lost so much ground in popular movies. Didn't 'Thelma and Louise' prove that women want to see women doing things on film? Thelma and Louise were in a classic car they were being chased by cops they shot up a truck - and women loved it.

As far as luxury goes about the only thing I do is... I go first class all the way. I live on the road so when I'm out there I'm getting the nice hotel suite I'm getting the luxury car I'm eating the good food and I make sure I take care of myself on the road.

Democrats think the country works better with a strong middle class real opportunities for poor people to work their way into it and a relentless focus on the future with business and government working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. We think 'we're all in this together' is a better philosophy than 'you're on your own.'

All I watch is the Food Network. I took a cheesemaking class a few weeks ago and I told my family and friends to only get me kitchen stuff on my birthday. I'm into every kind of cookbook and anything by Anthony Bourdain. I'd love to own a restaurant if I could find the right chef.

I can put my legs behind my head and sing 'Happy Birthday.' Because that's something that me and my friends used to do when we were in gymnastics class as kids and I can still do it. I was doing it since I was 8 and 9. They used to call me Gumby. Very bendy.

It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down wrote this song and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people.
