At an incredibly divisive point in pop history Donna Summer managed to create an undeniable across-the-board experience of mass pleasure - after 'Bad Girls ' nobody ever tried claiming disco sucked again. It set the template for what Michael Jackson would do a few months later with 'Off The Wall.'

In my lifetime I've discovered a great many incredibly talented individuals. Some have achieved stardom. Simultaneously I've seen many dreams shattered egos destroyed and lives changed forever. The end destination may well be fame and fortune but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.

My parents have been incredibly supportive from perhaps the first real independent decision I made to become a vegetarian at 11 which was certainly not consistent with their diet at the time.

I think to have the skill set and the ability to physically help others in matters of life and death must be incredibly empowering.

I do like dating cynics - they tend to be incredibly funny.

My parents loved each other. I was raised in a house of total love and respect. My dad worked very hard and my mother was incredibly devoted to him. I can unequivocally without any peradventure of doubt tell you that I was raised with the kind of love that we only dream of.

My mother's incredibly giving almost too giving at times. And my dad is a real logical person. He's got logic for every situation. They've been married for 24 years so there was that stability also. I really learned to think on my own at a very young age.

My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education.

But while mum and dad were incredibly caring it was also a very chaotic household where everyone fought about everything. So I know what it's like to internalize all that chaos.

Atlanta is an incredibly cool city.
