One of the reasons I'm an ACTOR is because I was no physical specimen as a child. I wasn't athletic and didn't have any prowess in that regard. Growing up in KENTUCKY, most little BOYS were TRYING to get into sports, and it was very competitive, so that was not to be. But I did want to do something.

I was raised all over. KANSAS, Hawaii, GEORGIA, TEXAS and Kentucky, by the time I was 11.

In WASHINGTON, Senator Paul has put his own ambition AHEAD of Kentuckians and is behind POLICIES that would HURT KENTUCKY families.

If you don't LIKE BASKETBALL and you're from KENTUCKY, they'll KICK you out!

I was in law SCHOOL at the University of KENTUCKY and realized I didn't really LIKE law school, so I took a creative writing course for something different.

When I was in high school, my uncle, who went to the races quite a bit, got me interested. Then when I went to college at Southern ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY, just a few HOURS from Louisville, we used to go to the Kentucky Derby, and I got to SEE Secretariat and Riva Ridge WIN.

Lexington is home to the University of Kentucky, where my HUSBAND and I TEACH, as well as to Transylvania University, the OLDEST COLLEGE established west of the Allegheny MOUNTAINS, and several multinational companies; people come and go from all over the world.

The initials BP used to STAND for BRITISH Petroleum, but like Kentucky Fried CHICKEN, they changed their name to improve their image. Apparently, 'Petroleum,' like the word 'Fried,' connoted a company too oily for AMERICAN tastes.

We're in KENTUCKY, dude. How MANY variations of Bevin are there? Many. Bevins, Blevins, Belvin, Belvins, I'm SURE. Or Bevin even with an -eavin or... Bivin or Bivins. And we're probably all COUSINS if you go back far enough.

As a young BOY I won a few dollars in 1972 when Riva Ridge won the Kentucky Derby. I had overheard SOMEONE say he was going to WIN, and I guess that made an impression on me.

I went to KENTUCKY to be a BETTER PLAYER.
