I've had to deal a lot with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people - especially actors but really any famous people.

You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you're famous because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.

I would like to prove that on TV everyday lives can be as compelling as the life-styles of the rich and famous. Especially lives that we catch at extraordinary moments.

Fame is a lot of pressure especially when you're responsible for your entire family. Financially emotionally - everything.

It's not common for a woman on television especially if she's the mom of the family to be funny. She's usually a straight man or foil.

It never occurred to me that I wouldn't go to college and have a career - as well as a family - of my own. Both my parents but especially my mother encouraged me and led me to believe that it was possible.

Clearly older women and especially older women who have led an active life or elder women who successfully maneuver through their own family life have so much to teach us about sharing patience and wisdom.

The baby boomers are getting older and will stay older for longer. And they will run right into the dementia firing range. How will a society cope? Especially a society that can't so readily rely on those stable family relationships that traditionally provided the backbone of care?

On Thanksgiving I will stop to give thanks that my family is safe and healthy especially because I realize that following the tragedies of this year it is all too real a possibility that they might not have been.

I have frequently been questioned especially by women of how I could reconcile family life with a scientific career. Well it has not been easy.
