I Know How Important It Is To,

John And I Were Lucky Because Our Mother Was A Strong Woman With High Expectations And A Strong Sense Of Values. She Encouraged Us To Pursue Things We Were Interested In And Not Think About What Other People Wanted Us To Do.

After My Mom Died, There Was So Much Written About Her Fashion And Her Style And All That, And I Felt That One Of The Most Important Parts Of Her Was Missing, Her Real Intellectual Curiosity.

As Much As We Need A Prosperous Economy, We Also Need A Prosperity Of Kindness And Decency.

I Know How Important It Is To, You Know, To Be My Own Person.

My Mother ... Had A Very Deep Inner Spirituality That Allowed Her To Rebuild Her Life. It's Extraordinary That She Had Such A Strong Sense Of Self And Such A Commitment To The Future And Such A Strong Creative Sense That She Could Build New Worlds For Herself And For Us Out Of The Total Devastation In Her Life.
