I would rather receive a Pap smear from Captain Hook than venture out on New Year's Eve.

I think people tend to be very myopic and they dont understand how their actions impact others.

I'm very detail oriented. I think that's why people enjoy my memoirs - because I tend to remember everything.

I never ever, ever say anything against my husband to anyone except my husband. Everyone gets in fights, and I think the natural propensity for women is, 'Oh I want to talk to someone.' But the minute you take what bothers you outside the bond between you and your husband, you let someone else into the relationship and that causes a wedge.

Seriously, our nation is never going to be on the same page on issues like gun control, welfare, the economy, the environment, etc. I doubt we'll ever come to terms on tastes great or less filling and hybrids versus Hummers, and there will always be Yankees fans and Red Sox fans, and never the 'twain shall meet. Fortunately, all it takes for us to be of one mind is some buttercream frosting.

Some people are destined to be deep thinkers. I am not one of those people.

Writing is something that I've always loved. That stems from my love of being a reader.
