My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.

Those times in life when you're terrified are the mastery times.

So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality.

My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.

But, you know, you can't be a star at home.

For the most sensitive among us the noise can be too much.

Don't worry if you miss your cue, because there's always doors opening. They keep opening.
