When I used to do musical theatre, my dad refused to come backstage. He never wanted to see the props up close or the sets up close. He didn't want to see the magic.

My New Year's Resolution List usually starts with the desire to lose between ten and three thousand pounds.

Socially, the issue of men's weight is simply not a big deal.

I'd been raised by my parents who taught me not to think you're better than you are.

And (cue music swell) motherhood turned out to be the most meaningful thing I've ever done with my life. Really.
