My grandmother gave birth to 13 children and I come from a long line of women who gave birth in their 40s.

In the early part of my life I carried the flame for fiery women: perky women who were not dumb.

I tend to wear outfits that match the walls.

I am one of the happiest people I know. And that's a weird place to have arrived at from being a depressed Jewish kid.

I just live in the truth and think that every moment counts.

I guess what I have to say is, "Don't do it." I don't recommend it, because, having said that, the people that should do it will do it anyway, despite the fact that I've said not to do it. Only the ones who've said, "Oh, she said not to do it," aren't going to do it, and they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

When you connect with a cause, it's like falling in love.
