My favorite meal is turkey and mashed potatoes. I love Thanksgiving it's just my favorite. I can have Thanksgiving all year round.

We were taking collections for people with AIDS in New York around Easter.

I'm Jewish and my wife isn't so right now we're literally decorating a Christmas tree with Jewish stars draped around it.

And of course there's so much music in and around our family. I had a piano during Christmas because it's obviously useful through the season. There are so many people songwriters who are around.

The bottom line is when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities not only are they many times more productive they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.

When you're around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work it's not strange it's just Gaga.

Being a mother is quite tiring. There's not much time to do anything. You just rush around and it's hard work.
