My mother was a powerful influence. She made me toe the line. If I didn't have a perfect report card, she showed her disappointment.

Marty was an extraordinary person. Of all the boys I had dated, he was the only one who really cared that I had a brain. And he was always - well, making me feel that I was better than I thought I was.
