One of the things in the back of my mind is that after my sports experience I never want to be totally consumed by any one endeavor other than my family life.

Reading the play at home however fulfilling can never be the vivacious experience that Shakespeare intended.

You can never regret anything you do in life. You kind of have to learn the lesson from whatever the experience is and take it with you on your journey forward.

Whenever something happens that makes me laugh or if I remember something in the middle of the night that I want to share I jot the experience down.

My father respected and admired my mother and was a person who was always standing by my side encouraging me to do more and believed in my capacity. So in that sense my own experience was very good in becoming an empowered woman. From early on I carried that strong message: 'You can do it.' So I never had any doubt that women can do a lot.

I hate these platforms that are all over the place today they are all about grabbing attention. They are suburban! I never do a platform. Well I did in the 1970s but that was a bad experience.

Actually music gave me the support when I needed it. I would never have gone to college unless I'd gotten a piano scholarship. And now I'm so glad I got to learn to play the cello which is a different experience you're flexing a different muscle but it's beautiful because it is music.

All of the legal defense funds out there they're looking for people out there with court of appeals experience because court of appeals is where policy is made. And I know I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we don't make law I know. I know.

I really do love Diana Ross I grew up listening to her records. I grew up in a little town in Mexico so while we got the music we never got the experience of watching her.

In my books I never portray violence as a reasonable solution to a problem. If the lead characters in the story are driven to it it's at the extreme end of their experience.
