I try to tell young people to get in shape now, because it's easier. If you're 30 and want to drop 10 pounds, all you have to do is just walk.
I know what makes me happy. I pick the clothes that make me happy - sometimes people like them, sometimes they don't. I try to listen to my own internal guide.
Over the years I've become more confident in people's ability to recognize a good thing.
Style helps distinguish you . . . It's a great potential opportunity that people tend to leave by the wayside
So we know that it's not enough for us to simply encourage more people to study abroad. We also need to make sure that they can actually afford it.
I have a very eclectic iPod. So I've got my cardio people - so it's anything from Beyonce to some Jay-Z to Janelle Monae, her song 'Tightrope,' that's a good cardio song. And then I've got Sting.

'Let's Move!' is not about having government tell people what to do, because government doesn't have all the answers.
I think that people are tired. They're tired of the same old kind of politics. People want a new tone to politics.
And that's my message to voters, this isn't about Barack, it's not about person on that ballot -- its about you. And for most of the people we are talking to [blacks], a Democratic ticket is the clear ticket that we should be voting on, regardless of who said what or did this -- that shouldn't even come into the equation.
