My son traveled the world with me on every tour. He wasn't a lover of school, so it was easy with him. I had a tutor on the road, keep him at the same level, so when he'd pop back home he'd go right back in.

I voted, always vote. It's very important to me. My kids, I take them with me since they were little, so they realize it's a responsibility.

My mother had a beautiful, soothing voice that made me melt.

It's not so much for me where you come from, who you are, what race you are. We're just human beings that are still a work in progress and there's a lot that we've got to overcome, so that we can all be equal.

Everybody's not as fortunate as I've been that can have their hubby with them on the road, that we can do whatever we want and mainly be honest with the kids. Just the time that you do give them, make it be great time. It doesn't have to be hours.

Later in life, the memories I have of my mother are of constant work balanced with caring for my ailing father.

We protect aspirin bottles in this country better than we protect guns from accidents by children.
