My grandma was somebody who had a garden and grew plants all the time.

I could name a few songs and say exactly what summer they came out and what boy I thought I was in love with when I was fourteen years old, but I think that music used to be really more a part of the...

You know, back in the college days you don't know nothing, you just eat whatever and do whatever.

Let's put it this way: there wouldn't be much point in me attending a high-school reunion now because there wouldn't be anybody there. We'd struggle to raise a quorum.

I have to say I regretted giving up animated movies.

I really like the old stuff that I cut my musical teeth on, and I loved it when the industry was just like that, without really a genre. Today, country radio's more aimed at a demographic than a...

When I was a kid, I liked books that just seemed so dense you could lose yourself in them for a whole afternoon. They were like their own whole world.

I love what TLC did with the baggy pants. I love a lot of throwbacks.

Things were so much better in the 1970s, when I was a young women undergraduate at Yale. I am grateful to have come of age during that period.

The first comic I can remember ever reading was a 'Fantastic Four' issue that my dad bought out of the drugstore once. The thing that struck me about it was that the ending wasn't an ending. It was...

My cousin used to make fun of me for liking stuff like C+C Music Factory. I didn't have any tapes; I just liked their song on the radio. We liked that because that was what we had access to.

I grew up just outside Hay-on-Wye, on the borders of Wales, on a farm. It was an amazing childhood, but I got a bit stir crazy when I hit my teens. There was the feeling of having to get out, you...

I always loved music and would listen to the radio and watch out for new stuff. When I was about nine or ten, I would go around to my friend's house on a Sunday when the Top Twenty was broadcast on...

I had 8-tracks when I was a kid.

Basically, I frittered away the Nineties making pop videos and being pretty self-indulgent.

As a kid, I remember wearing a checkered suit and appearing on-stage in the routines worked out by the 'baggy pants' comedians.

The thing I loved about the cartoons I grew up with is, to this day, I'm still just starting to get certain references from Bugs Bunny cartoons. I'll see some film noir movie and go, 'Wait, that's...

We used to jam forever. We'd play one song for three hours, easy.

I know it's not particularly tech-savvy of me to suggest a camera that doesn't have a touchscreen, but I think when it comes to candid shots of nights out with friends, there's nothing better than a...

Our house was always full of grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins.

Hollywood must have been terrific once.

I remember my favorite books when I was a kid: 'The Redwall Adventure' series, 'Ender's Game,' things like that.

'Happy Days' is the type of show that represents the best we can be. It's something warm, something tactile when life was good and life was simple.

I love a good Roy Rogers or Shirley Temple, and I had to give those up. And Philly cheesesteaks. I love Philly cheesesteaks, and now they really aren't around anymore.

I'm a child of the '80s, so like everyone else, I love all those classic, formative movies - 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off,' 'Pretty in Pink,' 'Sixteen Candles,' 'Dirty Dancing,' etc., with 'St. Elmo's...

I haven't been with Vin for many years - is it 2004 now?

The past is the only dead thing that smells sweet.

I loved the Oscars, and I had V.H.S. tapes for the Oscars, and I used to watch them over and over. There was probably one year where I watched it, like, 20 times or something.

'Lizzie McGuire' was my big thing when I was younger. I did buy some pencils and back-to-school stuff of hers because she was on it. I loved her.

It's always fun to put on bell bottoms and have your butt hanging out and hip huggers.
