By age seven, I used to comb my hair for performances, just pull my hair up into a bun. Granted, it wasn't a very intricate hairstyle. Still, to be that responsible and disciplined at age seven is unusual.

It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene.

I am at that age when you panic at the slightest thing.

Being gay and being a woman has one big thing in common, which is that we both become invisible after the age of 42. Who wants a gay 50-year-old? No one, let me tell you.

I began to speak well at a very advanced age - 15,16, 17 years old. It was psychological: the trauma of war, my family and growing up on my own. I was more or less a street kid.

We Jews have a special attachment to the Book. The study of page after page in tomes yellowing with age was obligatory.

Having come to live in this age is as though one were to have entered another country. Learn its language or risk being left out.

I don't want to look at other people my age in leather. Why would I put it on?

I believe that the fight against crime starts in the home. Parents must take responsibility for their children and show them love and guidance from an early age so they learn to respect the rights of others.

At an early age, I started my own paper route. Once I saw how you could service people and do a good job and get paid for it, I just wanted to be the best I could be in whatever I did.
