I remember when I was 33 or 34 it was devastating because I realized I wasn't a kid anymore. The great thing about 40 was that I really felt like I had life experience and knew what I was doing now.

At our best it's a good experience but we do 22 episodes a year so there are some clunkers.

2

I got pregnant at 40 by surprise. It's funny because when we found out we were pregnant I said 'Okay let's experience that.' You just have to just go with it because it's rare.

1 Age

  • 1. My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band.
  • 2. I remember at the age of five travelling on a trolley car with my mother past a group of women on a picket line at a textile plant seeing them being viciously beaten by security people. So that kind of thing stayed with me.
  • 3. I get all fired up about aging in America.

2 Amazing

  • 1. I had an amazing childhood.
  • 2. It's not always thankless. Let's face it – it's not always thankless. I've gotten a lot of really great recognition and I've worked with amazing people.
  • 3. I hate the stereotype of the pitfalls of the child actor. There are so many amazing examples – Natalie Portman Joseph Gordon-Levitt Jodie Foster Drew Barrymore – of people who have made it through.

3 Anger

  • 1. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.
  • 2. I'm not someone who feels anger on particular issues.
  • 3. After my second-to-last record 'The Greatest' I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of – it's not self-esteem or whatever or anger toward myself – but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.

4 Anniversary

  • 1. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.
  • 2. Marriage is the most natural state of man and… the state in which you will find solid happiness.
  • 3. I am so excited this year getting to play the 85th Anniversary Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Everyone knows on Thanksgiving morning to get up turn on the TV and watch the parade so to be an actual participant is going to be fun and I'm looking forward to it. I am gonna have to put on my deer hunting gear though to stay warm!

5 Architecture

  • 1. To create architecture is to put in order. Put what in order? Function and objects.
  • 2. Japanese architecture is very much copied in this country and in Europe.
  • 3. The Romans were not inventors of the supporting arch but its extended use in vaults and intersecting barrel shapes and domes is theirs.
