I couldn't wait until I grew up. I used to look at my mom's stockings and put them on with her high heels and mess with my hair.

There are days when I wonder why my mom couldn't be here to see this.

When I was a child I wanted to be an actor but I had really bad buckteeth. I didn't want to get braces but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So I got the braces.

No matter what like I couldn't - I could break a world record get an Olympic gold medal and my mom would be like you could have done better. But you looked pretty. That's what she says all the time.

My mom loved rock 'n roll. My father hated it. We couldn't play it when he was around.

I wanted to escape so badly. But of course I knew I couldn't just give up and leave school. It was only when I heard my mom's voice that I came out of my hiding place.

My mother was told she couldn't go to medical school because she was a woman and a Jew. So she became a teacher in the New York City public school system.

As far as hypnosis is concerned I had a very serious problem when I was in my twenties. I encountered a man who later became the president of the American Society of Medical Hypnosis. He couldn't hypnotize me.

When I told my doctor I couldn't afford an operation he offered to touch-up my X-rays.
