My mom and I used to listen to records, read, and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development, but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine.

My mom just didn't put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything.

Women have always been at the forefront of progressive movements. Women can be depended on when you need bodies in the streets for women's rights and human rights.

I watch things that are fun, or funny, or interesting.

I am not bored at all. I am not bored in the least.

It's not common for a woman on television, especially if she's the mom of the family, to be funny. She's usually a straight man or foil.

You'll notice my eyes have sort of glazed over.
