When I'm working in the real world with real women and we're shopping, we find that fashion seems to end when you get any larger than a size 12. How ridiculous is that?

If I think about most of America, and maybe I'm terribly wrong...but I think most of America would say that they're not in favor of gay marriage. But there is certainly a large cohort, not a majority but a large number of people, who are articulate and vocal and they'd rally behind this. They're making their opinion known.

It's man's impact on our world that appeals to me more than just nature running wild.

People believe that if you're concerned about the clothes you're wearing and the larger aspects of your appearance, that it's anti-intellectual. I say "Hogwash!" The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.

I love Modern Family but it's among a handful of favorite shows.

I learned early on in teaching how easy it is to hurt a young person and that's never my intention.

We need to treat each other with consideration. In my world, the squeaky wheel does not get the grease.
