When public spending in the form of transfer payments makes various services and benefits free of charge, work is discouraged. Yet it is precisely Social Security that legislators fear to cut.
I loved growing up in a little town. I loved knowing people. I loved going to the store and running into people. I loved going into the store and having forgotten my bag, saying, ‘Charge it, put it on my bill.’ I loved going to the gas station and saying, ‘Pete, fill it up.’ I loved that continuity of life.
I wanted to convey the message of how I do what I want and how I run my own business, and I’m a woman in charge. I want all of my fans to know that that’s possible and feel empowered when they listen to my music.

The story being told in ‘Star Wars’ is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not.
I think the special thing about Python is that it’s a writers’ commune. The writers are in charge. The writers decide what the material is.

My understanding of racial discrimination as a child was highly distorted because the most prominent man in Archery was an African-American bishop.

I knew that I did not have to buy into society’s notion that I had to be handsome and healthy to be happy. I was in charge of my ‘spaceship’ and it was my up, my down. I could choose to see this situation as a setback or as a starting point. I chose to begin life again.
From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they’re in charge of their own career somehow or other.
