I'd rather lose my own money than someone else's.
Two weeks ago at the U.S. Amateur my mom caddied and that is kind of a different feeling because she's your mom and you have to listen to her. It was really comfortable having my mom there but it's also really relieving and comfortable to have someone that knows the course off their hat really.
My mom died of cancer when I was really young. I'm not someone who tries to work out their own stuff with a role but I think that happened despite my best efforts to keep myself separate from it.
I heard the Beatles and the Stones and Mom bought me an electric guitar. I played lead for four years and then switched to bass. One day someone suggested that I should sing so I sheepishly stepped up to the microphone and the rest is rock history.
I had so many offers after 'True Blood' for things that were someone in the same vein but nowhere near Alan Ball's vision. Or something that was over-the-top and fantastical. And I've always wanted to play the regular working-class mom and I've never really had the chance to do that.
A Modern Mom to me is not always someone that juggles a career and family. A Modern Mom is a woman who takes care of herself on the inside and the outside.
I also think a Hot Mom is someone who can connect with what's current in her kids' world.
The fact that I'm very close with my past relationships is something I pride myself on. My mom is still close to her first husband. It's nice to be able to enjoy someone in a different form.
My brother Trevor is theatrically trained. I used to watch him when I was younger and I was in love with it. It just seemed really fun to be someone else. So I begged my mom she was hesitant but she eventually allowed me. And it turned out well I guess.
I spend my afternoons painting and working on my Open Hearts jewelry line for Kay Jewelers. I designed an image of a heart that isn't completely closed. My mom always told me to live with an open heart - when life gets tough you should go out and help someone else.
I made some truly awful movies. 'Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot' was the worst. If you ever want someone to confess to murder just make him or her sit through that film. They will confess to anything after 15 minutes.
My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said 'Mom they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.'
When you are getting ready to become a mom being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.
How is it they live in such harmony the billions of stars - when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds about someone they know.
I have never met anyone who did not support our troops. Sometimes however we hear accusations that someone or some group does not support the men and women serving in our Armed Forces. But this is pure demagoguery and it is intellectually dishonest.
In a wristwatch imagine the battery is in the strap and there's a medical sensor in there connected to the internet. If someone is monitoring that they could phone up if the user has forgotten to take some medication. This could save hundreds of dollars in medical fees later. What's missing? It's a stable battery.
If one of us any of us any American is traveling in a town somewhere in America and a medical crisis hits them for someone who is diabetic or perhaps has heart disease or some other problems where do we get the records to determine what to do?
I'd visit the near future close enough that someone might want to talk to Larry Niven and can figure out the language distant enough to get me decent medical techniques and a ticket to the Moon.
If someone lives in New York he's a New Yorker - they are entitled to the best medical system in the world.
I believe it should be possible for someone stricken with a serious and ultimately fatal illness to choose to die peacefully with medical help rather than suffer.
Marriage is another trap. If you are someone who likes independence it's another stamp against that. And you have to swear to fidelity.
There is a big misconception about arranged marriage. Yes it can mean that you meet someone and then have to marry them but this was my mother saying 'I'm going to introduce you to so-and-so - If you don't like them fair enough.'
I am fairly classless because it is very difficult to class someone who comes from a mixed marriage.
If someone talks about union fidelity a monogamous relationship love blessing I would say it sounds like marriage to me. And blessing you see I think is undermining our sacrament of marriage.
The danger is not that a particular class is unfit to govern: every class is unfit to govern.
