"I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono." ― Yancy Butler Topic(s): Dad More From Yancy Butler "I’ve spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control." "My father used to sing to me in my mother’s womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats." "I dig science fiction, though it was never really my thing."

If you give value to the good reviews, you have to give value to the criticism."― Fiona Apple "Babies don’t need fathers, but mothers do. Someone who is taking care of a baby needs to be taken care of."― Amy Heckerling "But this Veterans Day, I believe we should do more than sing the praises of the bravery and patriotism that our veterans have embodied in the past. We should take this opportunity to re-evaluate how we are treating our veterans in the present."― Nick Lampson
