My dad was a cop. My mom worked at various jobs - she worked as a homemaker, a bank teller, a bartender.
Our mother always raised the bar and believed in us. I am glad she made the sacrifices she did, and we honoured her sacrifices.
You hear a lot of horror stories about proposing and things going horribly wrong - it went really, really well and I was really pleased when she said yes.
My mother wasn't rational those last years; if she had been, she would have been horrified by her own behavior.
I think my grandmother Woodrell was most responsible for my becoming a writer. She wasn't quite literate, but was very proud that she attended school as far as the third grade. She worked as a maid, housekeeper and cook.
My mother was a housewife but she was also an artist. My father was an electrical engineer.
Its super to play with Martina, and she has huge amounts of talent. We have a lot of fun.
I became an adult before I had a kid, which I highly recommend. I just like to throw her around. She's a really good snuggler, and she likes to give kisses and hugs.
When a woman is anything but pleasant, she is labeled as whiny, hysterical, etc.
Especially as a teenager, you were so fond of Schiaparelli because she was slightly extreme, rebellious, and iconoclastic as well. That appeals to teenagers!
My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.
It is natural to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes to that siren until she allures us to our death.
She's an immensely powerful woman, and I just admire my mother very much.
My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe.
I went out with a promiscuous impressionist - she did everybody.
My daughter has impressions that she does of me.
Catherine O'Hara's one of the most amazing, wonderful actresses, but she's an amazing improviser. She really is.
Pronouns really don't matter in a song - 'I' or 'he' or 'she' or even subscribing a lyric to an inanimate object.
I do plan to be on the podium with President Clinton when she's inaugurated in January 2017 - but I'm going to be sitting with the senators.
My mother should have been Jewish. She could have taught a class on how to induce guilt.
