My nerves before a gig got worse; I had terrible bad nerves all the time. Once we started... I was fine.
By the time 'Dumbo's Circus' wrapped production of its 120 episodes, I had an agent, and I had scored my first feature film gig.
Public interest in most of the Middle East was slight at that time; the Arab-Israeli conflict was all that people were interested in and that was not my specialty.
My mother loves it when I talk about her. Half the time, I think she says things that she knows will go straight into the act.
I let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up.
My main form of transportation at that time was a bicycle, because bicycles could move though the crowd.
I'd hate to be a sex symbol. Because you're always having to live up to an image. I haven't got time to sit around doing my nails.
When I throw a softball, there's no time to think about the motion of my arm. I just look at the first baseman's glove and react.
My happy weight changes. Sometimes I eat more; sometimes I play more. I'll be different sizes all the time.
The one thing I regret is missing the time with my older children when they were young.
I keep my stuff updated all the time. Being in the security industry, I keep up to date with securities.
I say to my mother all the time, 'You're the child.' And she says, 'Yeah, you're the mother.' I've been that way with her since I was 11.
I am enjoying my face changing, as well as realizing that at the same time, as you get older, the machine isn't as well-oiled as it was.
It is odd but agitation or contest of any kind gives a rebound to my spirits and sets me up for a time.
I need a stimulating environment to write because my books are driven at 100 miles per hour at a time.
Every time I've been to Los Angeles, I've hated it. My brother works there, so I usually go each year for a holiday.
I'm a hypochondriac. Yesterday it was brain damage from the vodka the night before. Today, heart attack - my arm and chest started hurting at the same time.
Every time I go to the dentist they say, 'You really need to fix that gap of yours'. I'm like, 'My gap is paying your dentist bills.'
Medals are decided by hundredths of a second, so I need assurance that my vision is perfect every time I compete, no matter what the conditions.
My mantra is: Realize you're going to fail all the time, and accept it. That doesn't mean I'm not frightened of it.
I've often been accused of spending more time and energy criticizing my fellow Democrats than criticizing Republicans.
