If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner, it's really like making a large chicken.

Instead of going out to dinner, buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy, it's more important to make yourself feel good.

You don't have to do everything from scratch. Nobody wants to make puff pastry!

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

I am shocked at the attitude of our American troops. They have no respect for death, the courage of an enemy soldier, or many of the ordinary decencies of life.
