Liza Minnelli

I am deeply saddened by the death of my dear friend, Dudley Moore.

If we had a hard time, my mother would sit me down and we would talk about it, and she kept talking and kept processing until we started to laugh about it.

My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams.

I've conducted an experiment on my kids. Instead of denying them access to media, I've encouraged it. They read comic books, play Nintendo and watch way too much TV.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

Most detective story readers are an educated audience and know there are only a certain number of plots. The interest lies in what the writer does with them.
