I'm talking like 10, 12 years old. Either junior brings Mom and Pop or Mom and Pop bring the kids. I'm talking young here, not a college drinking crowd.
I have a lot of faults. I often interrupt in meetings. I talk too loud. I talk too fast.
You know when you're 14 and terrified to talk to a girl? I didn't suffer much from that. It seemed very natural to me to talk to girls.
James Brown became my father. He would talk to me the way a father talked to a son. He became the father I never had.
I have very intense conversations with friends, people I really interconnect with. We talk about politics, important things. I like to talk about ideas and get people to be specific.
I'm always rather nervous about how you talk about women who are active in politics, whether they want to be talked about as women or as politicians.
You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing, and talking about it is really helpful, because the more you talk the more your fears fade, because you get it out.
