Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends church school church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.
Put Mickelson and Toms out there. You know they had the morning off. They rested. Knowing them and the competitors that they are they are probably a little angry that they weren't out there in the morning.
My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 13 and it was something we weren't really aware of as a family.
I remember my mom didn't have any help so if she needed to be somewhere after school we'd just go down to the neighbors' and she'd give us a snack and make sure we did our homework. There weren't any latchkey kids.
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.'
My parents' marriage was very rocky. They were always arguing. When they split up when I was in my 20s my brother and I were both delighted because we knew they weren't good for each other.
But I will agree that I think that things happen with people in relationships that you might have been able to enjoy Morocco say if you weren't getting out of a bad marriage. You know what I mean?
I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage children and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
An ideal wife is one who remains faithful to you but tries to be just as charming as if she weren't.
In this business if you take too long the landscape changes. So the opportunities that were there when I decided to take a break weren't there when I came back. It's like 'Wait a second - what happened here?' It was a real learning experience. I've paid my dues I will tell you that.
The fact is five months ago this was an issue that people weren't really talking that much about. Because of the president's leadership because he's brought it to people's attention it's now a top issue.
I respect knowledge of the psyche. I would be a therapist if I weren't an entertainer.
Lesbian humor isn't trying to sell anything it doesn't have to sell out. Coming out as a lesbian onstage is still a very political act if it weren't more women would do it.
The polls indicated that I was feisty that I was tough that I had a sense of humor but they weren't quite sure if they liked me and they didn't know whether or not that I was sensitive.
At home growing up we weren't really poor. We had everything we needed we just didn't have what we wanted.
About 15 years ago I went though a period of a year or so when I just couldn't find anything good. My wife noticed I was having trouble reading menus. I bought some cheap reading glasses in a drug store. I got home and suddenly all these books that weren't good were good.
The killer app that got the world ready for appliances was the light bulb. So the light bulb is what wired the world. And they weren't thinking about appliances when they wired the world. They were really thinking about - they weren't putting electricity into the home. They were putting lighting into the home.
My generation of bossy confident baby-boom women were something brand new in history. Our energy and assertiveness weren't created by Betty Friedan unknown before her 1963 book or by Gloria Steinem whose political activism as even the Lifetime profile admitted did not begin until 1969.
What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane?
History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.
Many of us believe that we need health care reform. That being said - Americans felt like they weren't being listened to. There were a lot of people across the political spectrum who said we don't want a one-size-fits-all healthcare plan.
Well I thought the deal was when you went to work for the government you weren't supposed to make money!
You could afford your house without the government if it weren't for the government.
And finally I twist my heart round again so that the bad is on the outside and the good is on the inside and keep on trying to find a way of becoming what I would so like to be and could be if there weren't any other people living in the world.
Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds listen to their singing go hiking camping and jogging and running walking along the beach playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It's very special to me.
