commercial cool couple home national paul people pierce remember school sixth
I started home school around sixth grade, but I'd only done a couple of national commercials. I remember I had this Spalding commercial with Paul Pierce from the Celtics, and I used to go to school, and people made fun of it. It wasn't even cool to be an actor; you got made fun of.
agency few mom
My mom was an actress, so I got with her boutique agency back in 2001 and started booking a few commercials. She's like my co-manager.
god tall
I thought I was going to the NBA, but God knows, I'm not tall enough. I don't know what I was thinking.
regular
I never got to go to prom. I never went to regular school. I ate lunch by myself.

Going through different places, I stopped through Dubai and stayed there overnight. There I had an ultra-culture shock.

Ive introduced eight bills to fight for support for our small businesses and ensure we get funding to rebuild public housing - among other things.

There are a lot of stats and a strong correlation between dropout rates and crime as well as poverty.
kids school priorities
Keeping our kids engaged and in school must become a national priority.
storm restoration wetlands
In D.C., I've passed amendments to allocate $6.3 million to keep our waterways open for business, $1 million as a down payment on our wetland restoration - our natural storm protection - and $5 million to ensure that drilling permits are reviewed thoroughly and efficiently.
cutting water waiting
Imagine if, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Gulf Coast residents had to wait on Democrats and Republicans to agree on cuts before receiving clean water or loans to rebuild. Congress negotiations often come slow or not at all.
men tragedy hurricanes
Ill never forget Hurricane Katrina - the mix of a natural and a man-made catastrophe that resulted in the death of over 1,500 of our neighbors. Millions of folks were marked by the tragedy.
guessing keeps
It's cleverly done. It's very well written, keeps you guessing and is well performed.
patch wondering
We are also wondering how to patch all the potholes.
past years cities
These past years, as we have been recovering and given our city a rebirth, we have been encouraged by our faith, knowledge, and steadfast belief that we will pull through. There will be challenges and setbacks, as there have already been, but we will continue, and we the citizens of New Orleans will prevail in bringing our city back.
