Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.
I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.
Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment.
The brain is a wonderful organ it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.
I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day a fresh try one more start with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.
You know if you look back in the 1930s the money went to infrastructure. The bridges the municipal buildings the roads those were all built with stimulus money spent on infrastructure. This stimulus bill has fundamentally gone started out with a $500 rebate check remember. That went to buy flat-screen TVs made in China.
I think when money starts to corrupt journalism it undermines the journalism and it undermines the credibility of the product and you end up not succeeding.
The foundation of a financial fresh start actually has nothing to do with money or specific financial dos and don'ts.
I became alienated from this religious upbringing and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.
The money can be a hindrance to someone like me because the danger is that you start thinking 'Is that a $20 million take?' That kind of thing and being self-critical.
I'd asked around 10 or 15 people for suggestions. Finally one lady friend asked the right question 'Well what do you love most?' That's how I started painting money.
I don't blame the players today for the money. I blame the owners. They started it. They wanna give it to 'em? More power to 'em.
It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. I can tell you though: If they don't really want to build a company they won't luck into it. That's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion you'll give up.
I always was drawn to the performing arts. I started dancing when I was two. I sang loved to act and loved going to visit my mom on-set. But she wanted me to have a normal childhood so I wasn't really allowed to pursue acting till I got older.
I just started watching wrestling in 2008 and I've loved it ever since. I told my mom I wanted to become a wrestler.
My mom is two people to me. She's my mom number one and then she's this lady most comedians know as being a legendary owner of a nightclub that's responsible for starting a lot of heavy careers.
My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy so that's where I started that's where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.
My mom was a photographer and whenever they needed a baby for a modelling job she'd stick me in front of the camera. That's how it started.
I probably wouldn't be singing if not for Michael Jackson. When I started singing I didn't like my tone until my mom put me on to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder so listening to the way they used their instrument helped me get more comfortable with my own.
My mom's a concert pianist so she started teaching me when I was around seven. When I was eight I started writing my own songs and kinda started putting piano and singing together. But I'm trained classically which is a big influence on me I think.
I think there's a time to work and everyone has to kind of adjust. And then there's a time to relax and be the mom or take the kids on vacation when you need to wind down. So it's a matter of planning and being able to map out your year or your week or let's start with the day. It is just being multi-tasking and being available.
As a mom I understand how important it is to ensure kids start their day right and always make sure my kids have a nutritious breakfast. One in five U.S. children live in homes where food is not always available which is why I partnered with Kellogg's on their 'Share Your Breakfast' campaign which provide breakfasts to kids in need.
My mother stopped working when she had my brother. She was a full time mom until I started getting heavily into ice skating lessons and it got to the point where they really needed my mom to earn an income.
I had ridiculous amounts of energy. Mom's like you're driving me crazy - do you want to try gymnastics? From the moment I started it I loved it and it kind of was like storybook from there.
We busted a lot of family secrets with this. But to make a long story short my parents relationship was built heavily on security issues for my Mom and when my Dad couldn't provide security the relationship unraveled.
