My nemesis - my downfall, if you will - was relationships, and trying to fulfill them.

John Wayne was a consummate gentleman. Bigger than life.

I came to Christ when I was thirty-eight. That transformed my life.

That was the day I began cutting classes and returning to TV tapings; it ultimately led to a friendship with Johnny O, and an increasing fascination and respect for what he did.

When you grumble about a taxi being dirty, people your own age will absolutely agree with you, whereas younger people say, 'You should be so lucky to have a taxi - I walk to work!' So I have lots of young friends, who fortunately don't treat me as a guru, a person that knows all the answers.

Teaching girls to agitate over every problem implies that relationships, and people, can bend to our will.
