Rudolph Giuliani
Former Mayor of New York City
Rudolph Giuliani: My parents were very, very supportive of getting a good education and then deciding what you want to do. They did not put a great deal of pressure on me to do any particular thing. Their feeling was that you should get a very good education, the best you can get, and then decide on doing something that will make you feel fulfilled, that will make you feel happy. And, I sort of developed the idea -- maybe with their influence and other people -- that you had to find something to do that you were good at, because if you are good at something, it's a lot easier to do it as work than when you are struggling with it. And, the reason I decided to remain a lawyer when I tried law school was I enjoyed it. For me, working on legal problems, writing about them, thinking about them, debating them, was very, very interesting, so I never regretted that decision. It has always been like an adventure for me, being a lawyer.

Whoopi Goldberg
Actress and Activist
Whoopi Goldberg: I was a teapot. I was a small teapot, short and stout, here was my handle, this was my spout. And I was like seven. It was the greatest. I was just bowing, and bowing. They had to come get me off the stage. I just kept bowing. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." You know. All the other pots are gone. Born ham, that's basically me. It's the truth. My mom told me. I'd forgotten it. She also tells the story of my birth. I'm almost half kidding when I say, I came out and waved. My mother says that I came out head, arm, other arm, thumb in mouth, immediately. They were astounded, because generally that's not what you do. I was born clear, you know. They just kept calling people. I was just hanging out, thumb in my mouth. Some people are just born that way.
