Mom and Dad would stay in bed on Sunday morning, but the kids would have to go to church.

I know it sounds crazy, but I have had far more connection with my parents after their deaths.

Memories and magic is what Christmas is all about.

You do not have to die to save their lives.

My mother was a very literate person who had educated herself. She had an exceptional vocabulary.

When Kate was born, she was born into a world of joy and happiness and confidence. The difference between the children is night and day. She's happy, she's thriving, she's full of self-confidence. I tell her she's beautiful every day before I send her off to school.

The toughest question has always been, "How do you get your ideas?" How do you answer that? It's like asking runners how they run, or singers how they sing. They just do it!
