Parenting forces us to get to know ourselves better than we ever might have imagined we could--and in many new ways. . . . We'll discover talents we never dreamed we had and fervently wish for others at moments we feel we desperately need them.

But we'll also find that there are limits to our giving, and that may be hard for us to accept.

George Hamilton

I remember a meeting I had at MGM. It was at the end of their reign. They say we have you under contract, and because you're under contract, we'd like to you to work. I said, well, that seems fair.
