I didn't have a father growing up, and I was raised with all women, and I didn't really understand men. I thought they were like women, right?

I understand that there's a certain energy in youth, no question, in terms of pursuing jobs. But there is wisdom in age. It's too bad that the two can't come together because I do think that people are dropped from what they're really good at too soon.

When I started on the 'Burnett' show, I was just out of high school, and when we went off the air, I was 28 years old, married with two kids.

Parents don't care about their children; they're emotional, egotistical, selfish, and screw up their kids!

And we all know that the government does not care at all for the people.
