I've always been part of comedy. One of the things about our family was that if we were reasonably funny with each other particularly my two brothers and myself when my father was upset with something you'd want to make sure in some way you made him laugh. Because when he didn't laugh you were in trouble!

I am a big fan of smelly cheeses but the rest of the family don't seem to be particularly keen on them.

A lot of what I'm obsessed with is the relationship and the dynamics between people and the family particularly brothers and their father.

It's true Christmas can feel like a lot of work particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories good and bad are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul.

At the time I perceived most religious men particularly the pastors with all their talk about love faith and relationship as effeminate.

Over the years my mother's steadfast faith in God has inspired me particularly when I had to perform extremely difficult surgical procedures or when I found myself faced with my own medical scare.

I'm not particularly precious about the theatrical experience any more.

Education particularly higher education will take Africa into the mainstream of globalization.

This is not a zero-sum game. We know that if we provide access and education particularly where there are gaps in the market we will create more jobs we will create more growth and we will create more activity in the U.S. market which will be good for our economy.

Iran is not a make-believe country. It is a real country populated by some 75 million people - real people including I daresay a majority who are philosophically and by education inclined toward the modern secular world and particularly American values.

I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important particularly in an uncertain changing world.

We are currently working on new policies to protect and create American jobs particularly by improving education. We need more information in order to find the best solutions to this increasing concern for American families.

More particularly having a largely German-oriented education has made me very responsive to 19th-century German literature.

Anyone who knows history particularly the history of Europe will I think recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

I'm particularly proud of my reluctance to share my dreams with anyone.

In the 20 long hungry years between my late teens and late 30s I bought in to virtually every new diet and/or exercise regime that hoved into view particularly at this most vulnerable time for those of us prone to poor body image - a new year.

I don't particularly follow the Bauhaus school of design where you make everything into a black box - simplify it.

When I'm lying in my bed I think about life and I think about death and neither one particularly appeals to me.

I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend me. Certain women particularly older women cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.

I like the idea of dating but I'm not dating anyone exclusively particularly right now. It's hard to be in a relationship unless you're ready to go public with it. So it's a lot easier for me to not be in a relationship. I really don't want that part of my life to be tabloid fodder.

My dad was a particularly polite kind of guy very courteous.

The place of the father in the modern suburban family is a very small one particularly if he plays golf.

See at a certain point it becomes cool to be boy crazy. That happens in sixth grade and it gives you so much social status particularly in an all-girls school if you can go up and talk to boys.

I don't particularly dislike any kind of person that might be reading my stuff. They like it and that's cool but I don't do the work for any kind of group in particular except for hobos who just plain kick ass and light up my life.
