My first phone was two tin cans tied together with string, and it worked pretty good.

I couldn't have children, I tried to for years. I've never been pregnant in my life. When I was a girl and fooling around I was scared to death I'd get pregnant, and then when I got married and wanted to have children I couldn't have any. But I don't miss it. I did for awhile, but I realize that I am everybody's mother.

Unless you have spent your life doing something, you are not likely to be successful, so always partner with people who are smarter than you.

I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I'm such a short little thing, I can't reach my kitchen cabinets.

I have two favorite colors - white and yellow. White makes me feel light and airy. Yellow makes me happy.

Writing's just as natural to me as getting up and cooking breakfast.

Children have always responded to me because I have that cartoon-character look.
