I always come across sounding like I hate my children. I actually love them very much.
Baltimore is a great place.
There's an expression: Great is the enemy of the good. Sometimes in trying to be great, you make a mess of things.
I discovered on school days, when they've got to get up at 6:30, they won't get out of bed. But on the weekends, they were up at 6 a.m. I was like, "Why do you guys wake up so early on the weekends?" It's like, "Because I wake up and I think, Is it a TV day? And if it is..." So we had to change that rule. I'm like, "Thank you for telling me what I need to do."
I suffer the terrible disease of low self-esteem.
I live alone with my one dog and they say it like it's a sad, it's a terrible thing. This woman lives alone with her two cats.
I read books more than I go out. As a matter of fact, I get a little concerned about some of my anti-social habits. I will choose a night with Somerset Maugham or Russell Banks over a crowded bar any day.
I tell my kids, "Look, your life is a video game, and I have to get you from level zero to 18 as an independent person with all your skills and limbs intact. Every time you hit your brother or throw food, you're taking us all back."
As a matter of fact, I get a little concerned about some of my anti-social habits.
I'm so not stylish by nature, but I've learned to work with what I have.
I've had a little bad, bad media luck the new year. Well, apparently I'm dating Bill Clinton, which makes me nervous. I didn't know, though.
I guess I'm not that aware of such a big fan base. I have a few core people who write me no matter what I'm doing, but I hardly have sacks of mail being dropped on my door!
I consider a day without running a crappy day. When I don't get to run, I am a grump, but some days my schedule just doesn't allow me to.
I do find it odd people choose to do stuff that makes them look like crazy Hollywood faces, but I've got zero judgment.
