Her parents enjoyed reading stories to the children--her father would imitate the characters in Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer--and her mother read to them every evening, "almost until we were old enough to go out on dates, though we never would have admitted this to anyone."

“I used to think that when I grew up there wouldn't be so many rules.

And there was always somebody watching to make sure.
