I had individuals in my life to help me make the right decisions because it wasn’t about them accepting handouts. It was about them making the right decisions for me.

I think it’s so easy to be judgmental of other people’s decisions.

I don’t imagine Heads of Government would ever be able to say I’m not an economist therefore I can’t take decisions on matters of the economy; I’m not a soldier I can’t take decisions on matters of defence; I’m not an educationist so I can’t take decisions about education.

I feel like people are just waiting for me to fail, so I have to be careful what decisions I make in my career.

We need to be calling out the flaws and misguided decisions of the Democrats in Congress and the Obama administration.

I have faith in the United States and our ability to make good decisions based on the facts.

I don’t have to ask anyone‘s permission to do anything. It’s nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that I have over what I’m doing is better for me as a solo artist.

I am much more involved in the filmmaking experience on Mag Seven. I’m much more involved in story elements, casting decisions, the writing of the show, the blocking of the scenes.

Most of us are going through life without interrogating whether our decision-making processes are fit for purpose. And that’s something we need to change – especially when the stakes are high and the decisions are of real import.
