Jeans of any sort should not be worn in nice restaurants. They pollute the landscape. They should also not be worn in the workplace if no other workers wear them. However, if your office is casual, go for it.

Chivalry isn't dead. It's just no longer gender-based.

Politeness decrees that you must listen to be kind; intelligence decrees that you must listen to learn.

That's how a nation's manners are going to be taught - from watching others' behavior and learning from the effects of that behavior.

I'm not a trust-fund child. I think my father's got a healthy work ethic, and therefore, I think it just came with the part. You've got to look after yourself.

I stand here as the mother of three children, who knows firsthand how difficult it can be to combine family and a career.

On my block, we grew up like family. Summer times, man, psshh, we in the back in the alley or in the front on the block. Somebody has some music playing, and nine times out of ten, it's soul music. We got whatever we drinking that day, we got some food, we probably even grilling. It's just a good time.

My mother learnt Mohiniyattam as a child, and my father loved singing.
