“You’ve had one of the most interesting, one-of-a-kind careers I know of,” I told Fran Lebowitz when we sat down together last week.
“I would have to say I bow to you on that,” Fran said. “Maybe I’m second.”
Me: “Well, we’re kind of on parallel tracks.”
Fran: “Yeah, we’re exactly alike. Astral twins.”
Hear our frank, funny, and utterly Fran conversation on this week’s new episode of You And Me Both, available wherever you get your podcasts.

I endorse and proudly support my friend, @sheilajacksonlee, to be the next mayor of Houston. Her relentless efforts in Congress prove she has the experience and vision to lead Houston into the future. She’s always been a fierce champion for her constituents, and I have no doubt that she’ll bring that same fire and dedication to her role as mayor.

As the U.S. International Advisor to the Praemium Imperiale, my role is to help nominate the honorees who promote cultural understanding through the arts.

Vija Celmins, Laureate for Painting
Olafur Eliasson, Laureate for Sculpture
Diébédo Francis Kéré, Laureate for Architecture
Wynton Marsalis, Laureate for Music
Robert Wilson, Laureate for Theatre & Film

With crises unfolding across the world, we can’t forget Ukraine’s urgent fight to defend its freedom. Last month, at the annual meeting of the @ClintonGlobal Initiative, I stood alongside Ukraine’s First Lady Olena Zelenska to announce the launch of a coalition of partners committed to supporting the people of Ukraine.
Two of the partners in the CGI Ukraine Action Network—@Superhumans.Center’s Olga Rudneva and @BlueCheckUkraine’s @LievSchreiber—joined me recently for conversations about the mission and means of their organizations.
From providing survivors with prosthetic limbs to fast-tracking financial support to aid organizations, their work is utterly inspiring.
