Three things have helped me successfully go through the ordeals of life -- an understanding husband, a good analyst and millions of dollars.

Fans want you to be something super-human, something that's impossible for any human being to be.

A friend will give you immediate feedback and that will be that friend's opinion. An analyst often remains quiet and you hear what you've said and you gain your own insight.

What's nice about the rain is you don't feel you have to live up to anything. Everything around you is so grey and wet and damp and dreary that you don't feel you have to smile and percolate as you do on a sunny spring day.

And I came close to losing a part of my foot on two occasions. I hope I'm consistently lucky and that the next time I develop a blister or step on something sharp, that I don't go as far as I did on those two times.

I do watch a lot of Fox News. I like Charles Krauthammer and Bill OReilly.

Maybe mom is my alter ego and the woman I'm able to be when I'm working.
