Feminism in some ways has become quite dormant.

I haven't spent years, like Alyse Nelson of Vital Voices, toiling for female economic empowerment on five continents.

Obama, for all his brilliance, has no real, felt understanding of management structures or of business.

What does it take to be a great social chronicler? Perhaps one of the key attributes is an understanding of what it feels like to fall from grace.

I obviously work really hard. But I also have the capacity to dream really big and have the discipline to materialize those dreams.

I follow my inspiration to wherever it goes. I do want the fans to feel the fun and excitement about it, and I like for people to be able to make their own interpretations about my work.

In English, the sounds and melodies I created were an inspiration to me, and words came to me as I explored the sounds, and from there I was able expand on the meaning.

Motivation is everything. You can do the work of two people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people.
