I don't consult anyone - not my mother, not my father, anyone - about my work. And I must add that neither Dad nor Mom interfere in my work.

Neither from itself nor from another,Nor from both,Nor without a cause,Does anything whatever, anywhere arise.

No one is ever quite ready; everyone is always caught off guard. Parenthood chooses you. And you open your eyes, look at what you've got, say "Oh, my gosh," and recognize that of all the balls there ever were, this is the one you should not drop. It's not a question of choice.

But my mother and father were married when my mom was 20 and my dad was 24.

I don't think about stardom anymore. I'm way past that phase.

My mom is 79, my dad is 80. I felt they had so much to add, and we didn't want them to pass on and feel we let the opportunity go. We knew from the very beginning that this was going to be difficult.
