From the start, I USED a different KIND of girl in Nars campaign IMAGES. My choice to use models of colour such as Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell and Karen Park Goude was absolutely a DELIBERATE one. I felt that makeup was universal and should apply to everybody.

If you're running an engineering or finance COMPANY, all COMPANIES depend on ideas and ingenuity. I think the principles of creative leadership apply everywhere, whether it's an advertising company or whether you're running a hospital.

I USED to love SITTING on the bathroom floor in my pajamas and watching my mother get ready for an EVENT. She'd stand in front of her vanity and apply bright red and BLUE MAKEUP - it was the '80s, you know.

During my first round of law school applications, I didn't even APPLY to Yale, HARVARD, or Stanford - the mystical 'top three' SCHOOLS. I didn't think I had a chance at those places. More important, I didn't think it mattered; all LAWYERS GET good jobs, I assumed.

At home in Devon, my wife Jessica does a huge proportion of the cooking - I do the basics.

I know EXACTLY what fits into a MINUTE when broadcasting, and I apply the same to CARROTS.

Remember the PHRASE - 'Act your age, not your shoe SIZE?' That didn't apply to me, as they were the same until the age of 12 when my FEET STOPPED growing.

As SOMEONE who grew up with a father who was the prime MINISTER, many people liked me, and many didn't. I don't pay much attention to labels and CERTAINLY don't let people DEFINE me through the labels they apply. I stay FOCUSED on what I need to do.

The concept of commercialism in the FASHION and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, 'What amount of creativity does it take to make SOMETHING that masses of people like?' And, 'How does creativity APPLY across the BOARD?'

We're so enamored of technological advancements that we fail to think about how to best APPLY those technologies to what we're TRYING to ACHIEVE. This can mask some very important continuities in the nature of war and their implications for our RESPONSIBILITIES as officers.
