Personally, my interests are ancient history and ancient civilizations. In my own life, I'd like to go to places like Easter Island.
The dilemma for society is how to preserve personal and family values in a nation of diverse tastes.
Non-fiction, and in particular the literary memoir, the stylised recollection of personal experience, is often as much about character and story and emotion as fiction is.
In those days a concert was a personal experience. I wanted to be as close as possible to the audience, and of course big stadiums didn't enable you to do that. It wasn't my style.
The cinema is really built for the big screen and big sound, so that a person can go into another world and have an experience.
I make up my own mind in light of available facts, with my own experience and a sense of personal ethics.
When we compile a petition, we often have members go to their representative's or Senator's offices and deliver it in person. This way they can experience a real connection with the staff.

But I do believe that a woman's truest place is in a home, with a husband and with children, and with large freedom, pecuniary freedom, personal freedom, and the right to vote.
The public character of every public servant is legitimate subject of discussion, and his fitness or unfitness for office may be fairly canvassed by any person.
When you start about family, about lineage and ancestry, you are talking about every person on earth.
If you have this enormous talent, it's got you by the balls, it's a demon. You can't be a family man and a husband and a caring person and be that animal. Dickens wasn't that nice a guy.
You are a person of the greatest importance when you are a mother of a family. Just do your job right and your kids will love you.
My family and I would never receive royalties on the revenue that my materials brought into the church; materials that were created on our own personal time.
