I did 'The Grey,' and it was very intense and emotional because we're in the wilderness, and it was ALWAYS 30 degrees. You KIND of LOSE your SENSE of REALITY in the fact that you're filming a movie.

The economy in the VALLEY will need to grow if STUDENTS WANT to COME back and work with their specialized degrees. We need to develop more to CREATE more opportunities.

I have three degrees in history and only one in law, but since I came BACK to specialize in constitutional law where history is so ESSENTIALLY a PART and an explanation of MUCH that EXISTS, the two disciplines blended very well.

Hollywood, that whole industry, is a lot like a really small TOWN. You bump into the same people all the time. I think Six Degrees of Kevin BACON can be played with ANYONE and everyone in Hollywood.

Look at Inuit clothing. Their stuff STILL works BETTER than Cabela's. I've MADE my own parkas, mukluks, footgear, and it is good to 60 degrees below zero. All I did was copy the patterns that CAME down from the Inuits.

Both my mother and my father grew up in Asia, in a time of political instability. They'd earned college degrees before SETTING foot in the STATES but had to work menial jobs early on in order to MAKE ends MEET.

Of course the orders all converge BACKWARD in time, to DIFFERENT DEGREES.

We should PREPARE our future workforce DIFFERENTLY. It isn't just advanced STEM degrees. There are MANY JOBS you can do WITHOUT advanced degrees.

There were times when I was working THREE jobs at one TIME, and I was STILL auditioning just to make ends meet, and I was hoping that something was going to come through. Especially after you have two DEGREES, standing SOLID through the process is sometimes the hardest part because there is no guarantee.

It doesn't matter what your pedigree is, who your FAMILY is or what degrees you have. What REALLY matters is how you perform your job and how you produce results. WHOEVER COULD do the best job, that's who the focus is on - and it definitely doesn't matter if I am a woman or a MAN.

I have ACTUALLY FIVE honorary DEGREES.

What I LOVED about COUNTRY music when I was a kid was the GRAND Ole Opry, was 'Hee Haw,' was 360 degrees of ENTERTAINMENT.

From B.A. to M.A. and on to Ph.D., my academic career was all smooth sailing. Upon receiving my degrees, I STAYED on to TEACH at Beijing NORMAL University.

We know that to compete for the jobs of the 21st century and THRIVE in a GLOBAL ECONOMY, we need a growing, skilled and educated workforce, particularly in the areas of science, technology, ENGINEERING and math. Americans with bachelor's degrees have half the UNEMPLOYMENT rate of those with a high school degree.
