I'll probably never have children because I don't believe in touching people for any reason.

I love key lime pie, although it's never made the proper way.

When we live up to our Constitution, let's form a Conga line around the Capitol and bungee jump off the dome.

I used to work at The International House of Pancakes. It was a dream, and I made it happen.

I don't need a holiday or a feast to feel grateful for my children, the sun, the moon, the roof over my head, music, and laughter, but I like to take this time to take the path of thanks less traveled.

I talk to a lot of librarians, and there's always a steady drumbeat of how libraries are places of community. But a lot of them have also recently - and just in the nick of time - refurbished, because during this economic downturn, people have a tendency to borrow instead of buy.

I can make things, but I don't cook them, exactly. Like salmon, I can stick that in a pan. Or the other day I made noodles, but they were hard. It never occurred to me to check them; I just stopped cooking them when I felt they were ready. Really, I'm too absentminded.
