XL is a world class brand with very successful insurance, reinsurance and life reinsurance businesses and I look forward to helping it realize its full potential.
I wonder if I would have been capable of producing anything if I worked in a more conventional way with a prewritten script, because I'm of the procrastinator class.
The problem is we have a Wall Street-to-Washington access of power that has controlled the political climate. The donor class feeds the political class who does the dance that the donor class wants. And the result is federal government keeps getting bigger.
[it is] a high class kind of subversion, very high class. We're not second story burglars. We go right in the front door.
I don't practice yoga, but it's on my list of things to try again. I gave it a shot, but the class was too advanced for me, and I felt overwhelmed and a little embarrassed.
I was born out of classical music.
Whatever education I got was from experience and reading. But I also realize I wouldn't pass my friend's sixth-grade class.
When I was very young I never thought I was attractive, because I was a tomboy and I was always the biggest girl in the class.
I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment, but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form, and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.
I had so many offers after 'True Blood' for things that were someone in the same vein, but nowhere near Alan Ball's vision. Or something that was over-the-top and fantastical. And I've always wanted to play the regular, working-class mom, and I've never really had the chance to do that.
Black men in ghetto communities (and many who live in middle class communities) are targeted by the police at early ages, often before they're old enough to vote. They're routinely stopped, frisked, and searched without reasonable suspicion or probable cause.
Fortunately for me, I did not take any science classes in college.
Without an understanding of the issue of race and a willingness to confront it head on, the working class will not build its strength.
The main dividing line is still race. This is the issue that must be focused upon in all working class organizations.
Of course we can talk about the radical potential of youth. But in the U.S. it is still the case that most youth are conservative and not very sympathetic to the working class.
I know some actors feel classes are not cool or they create negative public relations, but I continue to crave the story just beyond my reach. To grasp that brass ring I need to continue to fine-tune my talents.
I love doing demonstrations. I think to be a great chef you have to be a great teacher. I love doing classes with people who love food and enjoy food, bringing them all around one table so to speak.
My mom pushed me to take drama class.
I get letters from classes all the time. Say it's assigned in someone's 8th grade class, and the teacher asks everyone to write a letter to me about their impressions and what they learned. So, it's incredibly gratifying to hear.
I'm from the Midwest, and guys like me don't go on diets. We don't do well on spinning classes.
Before there were unions, there was no middle class.
People like me who grew up in a working-class town, who don't have a college education, you don't usually hear from us.
I take much of the attacks and the criticism toward me as being very class-based, but as Americans we don't like to acknowledge that reality.
New York City has become a place where it's not easy for the working class to even live.
Middle class jobs prevent crime and violence.
