I went to court-reporting school to study stenotyping. After awhile, whenever anybody spoke, in my mind my fingers would be punching it out. Even two years after I quit, my mind still did that.

I'm a Taurus. To the bone.

You know what I'd like to do? I'd like to play a bag lady.

Well, I'm very stubborn. I think I have common sense; I'm probably at times a bit tunnel-visioned, but I'm strong.

I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.
