My parents used to throw great New Year's Eve parties. They invited such an eclectic mix of showbiz people. All those cool people were always hanging out at our apartment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People came to my parents' parties because they were going to have fun and, if lucky, our mother would belly dance. What they didn't know was that the hostess made sure every morsel placed in front of them was pure and without anything artificial, no matter what the cost.
I wasn't some weird loner in school, but I definitely wasn't invited to any of the cool parties.
The older you get, the few slumber parties there are, and I hate that. I liked slumber parties. What happened to them?
Every year, I do a New Year's day party at my home. I invite my staff and my friends and their kids. Around 40-50 people come by, and I do a barbecue and salads, steak and sushi, and also lots of cheese.
I have been known to hang out and party back in the day. I had a weekend that lasted a few years.
I think the biggest part of a good party is the host and then going around making sure nobody's left alone and knows enough about the people in the room to know who to introduce to whom.
I always liked parties. You meet people; you can have fun.
I went to college parties when I was at an appropriate age to go to college parties.
New Year's Eve is not about having a big party for me. It's a time of reflection, and I often go on spiritual retreats.
New Year's Eve was always a big occasion at home with the family. Every year we would get the karaoke machine out and I'd entertain everyone, even as a young kid.
