We in the West think of peace as society’s default position. War is a temporary state of affairs that happens when peace fails. For us, war is something that has a beginning, a middle, and an end. When it is over, win or lose, the warring factions lay down their arms and resume their normal lives.

A word of advice: your interview is about you. It’s not about the school you went to, what you majored in, what your GPA was, or who your parents happen to be or know. Most of that stuff is right on your resume, and it might even have gotten you into the room, but it won’t get you much farther.

The thing that drives me nuts is when I get stopped in a crowded place, and they look at me and say, ‘Who are you?’ I don’t know if they’re friends or fans, and I say, ‘I’m Annabella Sciorra’, and they say, ‘What have you done?’ So I start to give them my resume. It’s so embarrassing.

Some people can be choosy because they’re ultratalented or lucky or whatever, but yeah, there are certain things that might not be the greatest thing on my resume.

When you grow up in an extended family, or in a stable neighborhood with two or three generations of families who live there, you feel seen.

Jane Clayson
I think the greatest hip-hop artist of all time is Jay-Z, without a doubt. He just keeps amazing me with his performance, and since ’96, that guy has been producing at least one hit every summer and every winter. That’s a pretty good resume.

Andrew Forrest
If I see a fan talking down on my resume or another fighter, it just motivates me to go out there and prove them wrong and fight the fighters that they say will beat me or that will give me trouble in the ring. They ain’t going to never really give you no credit, no matter what you do.

Edward Everett
Don’t let a lack of big company names on your resume get you down, but also, don’t let it feed a Silicon Valley ego. Oftentimes, the best candidates come from startups or smaller companies. It shows they are open to risk and can keep up with the long hours and occasional harsh demands.
Brit Morin
I am delighted to resume the leadership of both companies.
Linda Johnson Rice
