In Some Ways A Mark Of Good Parenting Is That You Don't Try To Make Your Children Into Little Knockoffs Of Yourself. None Of Us Went Into Business. None Of Us Became Powerful People Like That. All Of Us Pursued Our Own Passions And Our Own Interests. One Of My Brothers Was Filmmaker. One Of My Brothers Was A Teacher. My Sister Was A Librarian.

I'm An Optimist In My Heart - I'm A Hopeless Pollyanna Just Like My Mother - But A Pessimist In My Head. I Think That's The Dialectic We All Need To Be In.

What Was On The Agenda Was School And Social Life And Those Kinds Of Things. So I Was The Middle Of Five Kids.

But It Was A Comfortable Childhood. It Was A Privileged Childhood.

It's The Height Of The Cold War, But I Grew Up In Apolitical Family And Politics Wasn't On The Agenda.
