American Comedian

One of the traditional rites of passage for political candidates is the revelation of financial status - a catechism-like recital of money mistakes made and debts owed.

American Politician

Goldie Hawn

My parents always supported me, but I was put to task. My father thought when I sang, I was sharp; my mother was upset when I wasn't in the first line at recitals.

Andrea Thompson

When life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.
