If I've learned one thing from my mother, my teachers, my greatest female inspirations, it's that Boundaries Are Optional.

I think my family sees me playing a pastor on TV and thinks that's a way of saying I have the calling, too.

I like to stretch myself and push the envelope, so anything that's new or different or not of my daily routine, I am so for.

By always looking out and always moving myself forward and being disciplined and being open to new experiences, I think that's how I was able to diversify because if it felt right to me creatively, I went for it. It didn't matter if I knew how to do that, I just did it because my creative heart felt pulled to it. That seems to have worked out.

Past leaders chose deregulated globalization. They said it would be happy; it turned out to be atrocious.

It is not the function of the leader of government business to discipline members of the executive.

In a very real way, ownership is the essence of leadership. When you are 'ridiculously in charge,' then you own whatever happens in a company, school, et cetera.

What our leaders and pundits never let slip is that the terrorists - whatever else they might be - might also be rational human beings; which is to say that in their own minds they have a rational justification for their actions.
