There are eight girls in the HOUSE in which I am LIVING, and practically all of them are GOOD LOOKING. You can realize that I am kept BUSY.

When I first found out that SUPERMAN wasn't real, I was about maybe eight. And I was TALKING to my mother about it. And she was like, 'No, no, no. There's no Superman.' And I started crying. I really THOUGHT he was coming to RESCUE us. The chaos, the violence, the danger. No hero was coming.

Red certainly is the family color. From my MOTHER and my grandmother, I've LEARNED a lot of little tricks - the significance of color and lipstick being one of them. I started SKATING when I was eight years old, and my MOM did my MAKEUP for me back then.

The LAW limits anyone from serving as president of the United States for more than eight years. And in my OPINION - well, eight years is also long ENOUGH for an individual to SERVE as a representative for a specific Congressional district.

Acting in TV as opposed to films is really difficult. What a film GETS TWO months to do, we get EIGHT days to do.

You can train and train until you are blue in the face, but you've got to diet, you've got to have that leanness because if you are not lean, your abs won't SHOW. Of COURSE, the training has to be PUT in, but then you've to shed all the fat and keep the fat off. And that's how you GET an eight pack.

There are two WAYS to look at my publishing CAREER. One is that I'm a NOVELIST churning out books, who is eight into a series; the other way is that I'm a cartoonist, just starting out. Most cartoonists have LONG careers: Charles Schulz drew Peanuts for 50 years.

I REALLY started considering myself a writer when I was about seven or eight YEARS old. I WROTE stories from my DREAMS and KEPT them all in a notebook that I still have.

You've all seen over the LAST eight years what PRESIDENT Obama means to this COUNTRY. He is the embodiment of honor, resolve, and character - one of the finest PRESIDENTS we have ever had.

We don't PUMP out ALBUMS EIGHT MONTHS APART from each other.

Dealers always like to sell chairs in sets of FOUR, six, or eight. And they charge a premium for supplying the WHOLE set. Individual chairs, though, go for much LOWER prices, and if you carry around a REFERENCE PHOTO of the chairs you want, you may be able to build up a cut-price collection, chair by chair.

My parents SEPARATED when I was EIGHT. I grew up with my mom ALONE.

I REMEMBER being about EIGHT and watching 'Pollyanna' with Hayley Mills. I looked at my MUM and said, 'Mum, I want to be Pollyanna.' She said, 'You're going to have to make yourself cry if you want to be an actress.' So I turned my head away, and when I turned it back I was in floods of tears.

In our racist, SEXIST SOCIETY, Christmas is the EIGHT HOURS when we stop killing each other and gratuitous overeating is encouraged so that the starving and other PEOPLE in the world can die!

My mom was in education, and I remember reading in one of her books about multiple intelligences - this WHOLE THEORY about how there are all these DIFFERENT ways you can be INTELLIGENT, LIKE eight or 10 of them or something. And one of them is emotional.
