Unfortunately most easily-digested entertainment has as much actual content as a Spongebob Squarepants episode, so the trick is to try to fit actual nourishing content into enjoyable entertainment.

It's all easier said than done, and it isn't even easy to say.

I realized I was not a great musical technician, if I was going to make anything interesting it would have to come from the creative side of me and not the craft side of me.

I think a balanced team of men and women makes better decisions. That's one of the reasons why I was prepared to run for deputy leader.

I have a confidence about my life that comes from standing tall on my own two feet.
