I never wanted a pony, wanted to play the guitar, or marry any rock stars. I thought Barry Manilow was sappy, and I didn't wear makeup until I was an adult.

I'm easily embarrassed and usually think that I had something to do with any problem in my vicinity, even if it had nothing to do with me. It's a kind of perverted egotism....

There isn't a day that passes that I don't think about money: how to pay bills, how to have enough to retire, how to do the things we want to do.

Having my kids grow up has been unexpectedly sad for me. My daughter graduated from college on Saturday and I was taken by surprise by my sadness.

When people in my neighborhood (who I don't even know) have parties, I always feel a little hurt and left out. Crazy.
