I wish I had played team sports. I think every kid should. Teamwork builds character - teaches people about leadership and cooperation.
One Christmas my father kept our tree up till March. He hated to see it go. I loved that.
Politicians who wear little tennis socks with the balls at the back should not be taken seriously.
I know a lot about a few things - mostly useless things.
Irony is the disparity between what you expect will happen, and what does happen. So raining on your wedding day isn't ironic, it's just crappy. It would have been ironic if she had lived in a place like Seattle, and traveled to the desert of Mexico for a wedding and it ended up raining there, but not in Seattle. Alanis always gets the last laugh though. We all sit here, saying her song isn't ironic, but in fact, that's pretty ironic that she wrote a song called Ironic that wasn't really ironic. Those Canadians are pretty crafty.
A young imagination is bold, likes to make bigger leaps. It likes to, well, imagine that the dustbuster is a dinosaur; that the computer mouse is a hotrod; that the box is a cave; that the rawhide is a torch... or a baton... or something.
Think of all that hard work our founding fathers put in - the revolutionizing, the three-fifths compromising, having to write the entire Constitution with a quill - and yet they neglected to include the right to vote.
Christmas is a stocking stuffed with sugary goodness.
I don't think everyone should vote. If you have to be dragged into the polls, carried into the polls and smelling salts have to be used, you probably shouldn't be voting. However, we shouldn't be putting up barriers to voting that target certain groups.
I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don't know when to come down.
I have a dream, and a plan, to combine the commercial possibilities of Valentine's Day with the substance and meaning of black history month. I call it: Blackentine's Day.
Homemade sweaters are always itchy.
If there's one thing that everyone can agree on, it's that, right or wrong, they hate the press.
Yes, I still love 'South Park,' but I also love morning TV now.
I have a Keurig coffee maker, which is really kind of a luxury. It was given to me by an ex. I realized when I'm feeling sentimental, I'll gently, tenderly press the button. Then when I remember he dumped me, I punch it.
If I had a time machine I would go back 30 years and show up at my grandmother's apartment before the gargantuan meals she would serve and I would help her.
My sophomore year I spent exactly one day on the JV football team. It was the tryout day.
I have such respect for people who do non-fiction casting after settling on the grandparents we got for this. It is really hard to find people who are not fame-whores. We're lucky these people actually wanted to spend their time doing this. All of them would have much rather been cooking without the cameras, being with their families. That's why they're great characters.
One could say, that # Masons were raised right.
I'm in fact a hair under six feet, but I'm very svelte. People would never see me if I turned sideways.
I still don't know how to cook and that's just unacceptable.
I was not a jock in high school. I know, you're shocked.
Wheel of Fortune was an important SAT prep for me.
I'm always working on a few different stories at once, so there's always some really big coffee table book I'm carrying around.
I mean, you're gonna be left behind if you don't appreciate the genius that is Meredith Vieira.
