I didn't go to the right schools, didn't come from a well-known family, nor was I even remotely connected to a powerful publishing dynasty. ↗

In all seriousness, it really should be difficult for me to be too strange. After all, a great family raised me. ↗

All my freakouts have been pretty private and directed at family pets and/or people I have been dating for too short a time to freak out at in that way. ↗

We stayed there 24 hours a day. We lived and ate and slept that movie. We were enthusiastic, not just because of the movie, but because we had such a great collaborative team. We had a really good time. It was very much a family. ↗

I eat a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything. Everything in moderation. I know that's really hard for people to understand, but I grew up in an Italian family where we didn't overdo anything. We ate pasta, yes, but not a lot of it. ↗

It's not that our family has no taste, it's just that our family's taste is inconsistent. ↗

Grandmother pointed out my brother Perry, my sister Sarah, and my sister Eliza, who stood in the group. I had never seen my brother nor my sisters before; and, though I had sometimes heard of them, and felt a curious interest in them, I really did not understand what they were to me, or I to them. We were brothers and sisters, but what of that? Why should they be attached to me, or I to them? Brothers and sisters were by blood; but slavery had made us strangers. I heard the words brother and sisters, and knew they must mean something; but slavery had robbed these terms of their true meaning. ↗

Beneath the armor of skin/and/bone/and/mind most of our colors are amazingly the same. ↗

I distanced myself, relatively, from my parents for a year or so in my late twenties. It was necessary for me to feel my autonomy. Other than that brief gap, we have always been a very close family. ↗

Babies control and bring up their families as much as they are controlled by them; in fact the family brings up baby by being brought up by him. ↗
