From the time that I can remember, I worked to make money - either baby-sitting, or one year wrapping gifts at a department store at Christmas, so I could have my own money.

It was at the department store where people got away from provincialism.

I worked for a big department store, and strangely, on my first day, they put me in charge of Christmas wrapping. I didn't know how to wrap a present and make it not look like it fell off a truck.

If I go to the department store, I get no excitement: I can buy the entire department store instead of one bag. So I lost excitement of shopping.

There was a power outage at a department store yesterday. Twenty people were trapped on the escalators.

I had an allowance, but I had to do things around the house to earn it. I think I always wanted my own money.
