I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants.
If countries were people, England and France would be old men. Italy would be dead. Compared with them, America is in its 20s.
But one man never laughed. He was a giant among men. He was Bobby Darin and he was my friend.
If you are a professional, the speed with which you react to a potential problem separates the men from the boys.
You eat and sleep it all day long and play on the streets until mom calls you in. My story is no different than anybody else's.
My mom is the type of mom who wonders why I haven't used my psychology degree to become a successful clinical psychologist.
My mom would take me to restaurants, and the first thing I'd ask for would be a pen and a napkin, and I'd sketch shoes and shoes and shoes.
Imagine my surprise when, after a lifetime of teaching me to keep personal things to myself, Mom insisted my drawings were the start of a comic strip for millions of people to enjoy.
I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them.
I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in, children and teaching and writing.
My mom and I had the same vision, and we want the same things. We would always make a goal list every year.
My mom didn't want me to go to college. She didn't want me to read - when I read, I may as well have been holding a pineapple.
I grew up in a difficult environment, but I became a Christian as a teen. My mom and my sister soon became Christians also.
I was worried about my mom more than I was worried about the president. And then I was worried about the president, and then I was worried about myself.
When I told my mom I was going to audition for 'The Hobbit,' she said, 'Well, you've always loved Tolkien.' And she was right.
I took the 'Lee' from my grandparents, who took care of me during the day while my mom was away working.
I just started watching wrestling in 2008, and I've loved it ever since. I told my mom I wanted to become a wrestler.
At nine, my mom used to tell me she saw an Olympic medalist in me. I used to take it as a joke, but she was very serious.
My mom was a ventriloquist and she always was throwing her voice. For ten years I thought the dog was telling me to kill my father.
My marriage started to go badly wrong after I had my second son.
I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.
