I'm a single parent, a working mother, an executive, and an author. My greatest accomplishment will be to raise three wonderful children.

New York City is a very tough place. I'm tough, too. When people give me a punch in the nose, I react by getting even tougher.

I make money because I have to pay for everything apart from my school fees. My mother even makes me pay my own telephone bill.

Travelling so much, sometimes my luggage goes astray. But I can get the right stuff sent to me overnight by a special shipper. No big deal.

We have one of the highest interest rates in the world, and we owe more money per capita than any other country. All we need is a nail hole in the bottom of the boat and we're sunk.

The show runner's the boss until the network shows up. And then they're the boss, because it's their money.

They made it to the middle class, my dad working as a bartender and my mother as a cashier and a maid. I didn't inherit any money from them. But I inherited something far better - the real opportunity to accomplish my dreams.

My parents spent a lot of money so I wouldn't sound like I came from Queens. I went to speech class.
