People Have An Obligation To Live Up

From The Age Of 14 Until I Was 50, I Just Got On A Treadmill And Ran. I Never Stopped To Assess What I Was Doing Or To Pat Myself On The Back.

Unfortunately, Every Time There's A Budget Crunch In New York, The Parks Department Is Usually The First To Be Cut. So They Need All The Help They Can Get.

I'm So Glad To Be Back In New York. Los Angeles Can Be So Cold, So Cruel After You've Been-what's The Word?-oh Yes: 'fired.'

My Parents Used To Park Us Kids At The Public Library In Downtown Honolulu Every Saturday. They'd Leave Us There At 8 A.m. And Pick Us Up At 4 P.m. - So Between Those Hours, You'd Better Find Something To Do! I Sat Upstairs In The Picture Room And Went Through Opera, Ballet, And Theater Books. I Loved The Photographs Of People Wearing Elaborate Makeup And Costumes - They Really Pulled At Me Inside. I Was In That Library Every Week For Years, Until I Was About 13. I Had A Rich Interior Life, Because I Didn't Have Much Of A Social Life.

It Is True That In This Culture, They Throw You Out When You Get Older. I See It All The Time, Especially In My Business. At My Age, You're Playing Somebody's Mother - And There Aren't Even A Lot Of Those Roles!
