Everybody has their challenges; I couldnt say that we have more challenges than other people, theyre just different.

I wasn't a very good waitress, always spilling things on people and forgetting things. I once spilled ashes all over Mike Wallace's table.

I'm not a social retard, but I prefer to go unnoticed.

I get so much out of being married and raising my kids - that's really important to me.

I'm very grounded - that's how I would put it. If you met my mother, you'd probably say the same thing about her. I had a very sane upbringing, though some very insane things happened.

Worrying won't prevent the worst outcome. I've learned to live in the moment, which is not my natural tendency. I've always thought that if I worried about something enough, it wouldn't happen. I forgot to worry about Parkinson's.

James Patterson has a way with female characters. He understands women in a way that a lot of male writers don't.
