I have dealt with a pretty interesting mix of young people, many of whom have never been involved in any form of politics at any level who are interested in alternatives to austerity and debt, and older people who left the Labour party, mainly over Iraq, who are coming back in.
My sense of designing is a mix of intuition and intellectual control.
I am the type of person who can get ready in precisely five minutes, so I obviously just mix and match and wear whatever I am feeling like on that day.
You need a really good mix between young and old, between experienced and hungry players.
People don’t listen to one radio station. On iTunes you can mix different worlds and bring country and pop and folk and live music together with a mass audience. I could have sung ‘Easy’ in a country way but I just sang it how I sing. I think it’s a really nice blend.
I’ve had 79 to 80 years of show business. I started when I was 5 with a man called Tom Mix. I didn’t have time to go to school because I was in silent movies, I was in radio, I was in burlesque, I worked with the circus. I’m all show business!
You know, women not making dollar for dollar the same as a man is not new. It’s been that way since day zero, since the founding of this country. And when you put African-American women and Hispanic women into the mix it’s even worse than that.
I might sing a gospel song in Arabic or do something in Hebrew. I want to mix it up and do it differently than one might imagine.
There’s this accent that I think everybody has when they grow up going to an international school. It’s a mix of not quite English, not quite American. When I moved to L.A., it just went completely American.
When I started this profession, I wanted to make films that entertain but that have content. When I went to film school, they made me believe that the two could not mix.
For me Brazilian music is the perfect mix of melody and rhythm. It just bubbles rhythmically. If I had to pick just one music style to play if would be Brazilian.
I do a lot of voice over for Japanese anime titles as well as live-action stuff and original stuff from the States. ‘Legion of Super Heroes,’ ‘New Wolverine: The X – Men’ animated series, ‘Afro Samurai’ and some live-action stuff, TV shows here and there – I like to mix it up.
My idea of baking is buying a ready-make cake mix and throwing in an egg.
I did a lot of thrift and vintage. I would mix those pieces into some of the more inexpensive items from Express, Gap, Old Navy, and Clothestime.
