I'd always be loaning my sister money, knowing full well I wasn't going to get it back. But she had the kids, and that paid me back.

Some children challenge themselves to maybe run a marathon or something. I challenged myself to stay up for two days and make cinnamon toast and watch the Jerry Lewis Telethon and laugh and cry.

My sister was three years older than me, and she was like the stone-cold '70s fox. I looked like a short Polish farm woman, and so our journals were wildly different.

I was always a total ham, but my dad really taught me that.

Til marriage and motherhood happened, I was devoted to my work. I didn't see anything beyond it.

Far too many girls' and women's romantic relationships are formed around a negation of their own worth and attributes rather than a confirmation of them.

I support gay marriage. I believe they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us.

What has the women's movement learned from Geraldine Ferraro's candidacy for vice president? Never get married.
