Women's humor seems to be a little more supportive. It's just kind of trying to make the other one laugh through funny voices and kind of talking about other people. I respond to that. I feel less like I'm going to get beat up in a room full of women than I do in a room full of guys.

Who said that justice is what you imagine? Can you be sure that you know it when you see it, that you will live long enough to recognize the decisive thunder of its occurrence, that it can be manifest within a generation, within ten generations, within the entire span of human existence? What you are talking about is common sense, not justice. Justice is higher and not as easy to understand - until it presents itself in unmistakable splendor. The design of which I speak is far above our understanding. But we can sometimes feel its presence.

But I don't know what to make of it.

There is a probably natural and learned reticence with myself talking about my early life.

Juno Temple

I find standard American the hardest. It really fits in a different place in your mouth. Southern, I find the easiest.

I do feel that I'm talking to someone who's in a totally different place from where I was when I started modeling.
