How to Speak One's Mind Like Rosie O'Donnell

Who better to study when you want to learn how to speak your mind. Rosie O'Donnell is a true speaker with little boundaries. O'Donnell's passion comes out in every word she speaks. She voice her opinions about her family to the war in Iraq, and manages to get her opinions heard due to celebrity status.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Get a job on a nationally acclaimed day time talk show like "The View." Rosie's spot at the desk next to Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar and Star Jones offered a platform to speak her mind on a daily.
2. Create a blog that's viewed by thousands. Rosie's daily rants include videos shot with her favorite stars, friends and family. She uses the space on her blog to speak her mind and spread her views--even if she's not on the show anymore.
3. Start a well-publicized feud with a billionaire tycoon like The Donald. Donald Trump. Rosie's very public disdain for Trump kept her in the spot light for months.
4. Woo the press like Rosie. The saying "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" comes into play here. While the press hasn't always put Rosie in the best light, she gets her thoughts published on a regular basis by keeping her contact list large and intact.
5. Host a cruise where you can say anything you want. Rosie's annual cruise that supports gay families and families of all dynamics is an open arena for O'Donnell views.
6. Edit your own magazine. Include a few fluff pieces about fun family crafts or how to survive a break up. Speak your mind on as many pages of the magazine you choose, because you own it.
7. Write a book. "Celebrity Detox" is full of Rosie's views on life, work, family, friends and enemies.
8. Use your star power to be an activist and charity supporter. Rosie's portfolio includes gay rights, gun control, war in Iraq and 9/11 conspiracies among others.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember, keep in good standing with your publisher as to not get caught in an ugly law suit over breach of contract, like Rosie did in the case that was dismissed.
