I can remember standing in a W.P.A. line with a gunny sack, and I remember having to buy chocolate milk instead of white because it was one cent cheaper.

I just feel such a connection to the little kids in Naples. I remember being on the street wanting a small piece of candy.

When I was an orphan, I was the richest kid at the orphanage because everyone else was complaining about not having anything. But when I discovered that you could get two cents for a Coca-Cola bottle, I would follow people around who were drinking it and ask them if they were almost through with it.

Working with UNICEF made me grow up and recognize how fortunate I am.

I still do have the little lunch bag that my mother made out of a towel and embroidered with my name on it for when I went to kindergarten.

As a kid I collected stamps, pebbles on the beach, anything. I liked to have at least 10 of something.

I remember how much fun it was to pick out my lunchbox. My all-time favorite lunch box was from the movie 'Annie.' Also, I loved picking out school supplies! Trapper Keepers were my favorite.

When the ball dropped in 1999, I was holding dough and champagne in my hands and holding my kids.

I feel like a little kid who just walked into a candy store. I think that's something to smile about.
