Betty Parsons

I've been working in sculpture and painting since 1920.

My husband wanted me to be a typical socialite. We never agreed on anything, so finally we decided it wasn't going to work.

Every time I learn a new thing to do on my computer, I have to write it down so that I can remember it.

In a small spacecraft, it was hard for the other two guys to sleep when the on-duty man was talking to Mission Control regularly.

Under the previous regime of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, I was detained. So was my wife, Serkalem Fasil. She gave birth to our son in prison in 2005.

I've been watching 'Game of Thrones,' and I can't wait for 'Bored to Death' to come back, it's one of my faves.
