Ive had many idols growing up. The inclination for idol worship comes naturally to me. Or it did, anyway. I think Ive gotten over it. It came as naturally to me as wanting to act.
Ive had my share of difficult moments, but whatever difficulties Ive gone through, Ive always gotten a prize at the end.
Im happy to say that at 62, I think Ive reached that point where stuff doesnt bother me as much, and my gratitude level has gone way up, especially having gone through the loss that Ive had, and losing so many of the great artists that I was close to. They taught me how to see it with a grain of salt and a lot of humor and perspective.
Ive never had to fight hard for anything Ive gotten in the past.
Ive had one very bad ankle injury but otherwise Ive been incredibly lucky with my fitness. Ive worked hard at it and Ive always been fit even compared to other players. That sustains you through various parts of your career, but I am 36.
Ive been fortunate to be short my entire life. Theres only one position Ive ever had to play, and thats point guard. So Ive always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.
Ive gotten to know a number of readers from being online, and really treasure the time Ive spent with them.
Ive always really been into science, and in the last five years Ive gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.
Growing up I was told, 'Stop acting like a girl. Don't stand like that, don't act like that, deepen your voice.' But for me, it came naturally.
Its always been fun for me to play a variety of parts, and over the years, Ive been lucky with the things Ive been asked to do.
There are so many beautiful things that are a part of the world, and Ive always looked at life that way; Ive always tried to put on a smile and a brave front, not just for my kids but in my own life and all the difficulties that Ive gone through.
I used to be a child. It came naturally to me. I was an adult for a time, too. That came less naturally.
The competitive spirit and the way we worked hard growing up came naturally to me from my family.
Ive had about 140 albums released, and Ive done everything I wanted to do.
Ive been very lucky that Ive never had cellulite. My body was always firm.
Sticking to my schedule, Ive gotten over seven months ahead, which allowed me to write a Pearls Before Swine movie script for the big screen.
Certain elements of teen life that, 10 years ago, were very important to me still, are becoming less so as I get older. I mean, Ive kinda gotten over, I guess Im saying, the fact that I had trouble getting a date for the prom.
