An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.

What is amazing to me as an archaeologist is that the more and more I study, I realize we are resilient, we are creative, we are brilliant, and this is what makes us human, and that hasn't changed since we've been human.

As I grow older I spend more time with my wife, and gradually my interest in the woman's world is growing.

We met and married when both of us knew exactly what our jobs were. He was only 32, but he'd been all over the place. I'd been working on films and television shows all over the world.

One of the things I've always liked about my husband is he's very good at lots of stuff. He was an English teacher when I met him. He wrote poetry and played the guitar. As time went on, he decided to go into economics, so he's very analytical and mathematical in addition to his artsy side.

Well, in order to become a grown man, in order to become significant in my family and significant in my children's life, I had to learn my lessons.

I always was going to be a writer. The other jobs were just to keep me in food. Though I enjoyed the archaeology.

While growing up in Baltimore, Maryland, I dreamed of becoming many things: an archaeologist, an ambassador, an actor, an author.

I grew up going to museums. I was privileged to discover art and artists in a very personal way.
