I have a WEB site that PARENTS and girls can USE to learn about Title IX and take action if they find their SCHOOL is not in compliance. Thirty years after Title IX passed, 80 percent of schools are not in compliance.

Men who have reached and passed forty-five, have a look as if WAITING for the secret of the other world, and as if they were perfectly SURE of having FOUND out the secret of this.

In both our personal and PROFESSIONAL lives, there are times when reality dictates that we must STAND up and 'end' something. Either its TIME has passed, its season is over, or worse, continuing it would be DESTRUCTIVE in some way.

My father passed away in 1942, and three-four months after his death, I had to start working. There was a responsibility on my SHOULDERS to RUN the household. It was my duty as the eldest CHILD in the HOUSE.

When she had PASSED, it seemed LIKE the ceasing of EXQUISITE MUSIC.

There was once a time when 'Final Fantasy' MEANT greatness, when seeing SQUARE's brand on a game box meant you were about to play something special. That time has long SINCE PASSED.

In HOLLYWOOD, PEOPLE GET reputations, just RUMORS that are PASSED down.

I like to think my DAD was easygoing and kind, and I think some of those things have been passed down. I am like him in a sense of being positive and HOPEFUL. He was compassionate, and I've got a LOT of that in me as well.

I grew up ABROAD, and when I first passed through LONDON in the 1970s, it seemed a drab and provincial PLACE.

My mother passed AWAY when I was 14, so there were CERTAIN THINGS I MISSED in terms of upbringing. MAYBE my mother would have said, 'You have to get a real job.' I don't know because I didn't have that experience. My fortes in school were Spanish, sports, reading and theater. That's what they encouraged.

And with each DAY that passed, the gulf broadened and my isolation became more accentuated. In such a SITUATION, the discovery that my EXPERIENCE was not unique, that it had also been that of other Spanish intellectuals, became very important for me.

When my dad left public LIFE, I was 13 YEARS old. I went through my teen years and into ADULTHOOD in relative anonymity. After my dad's FUNERAL, I was suddenly recognizable to people I PASSED on the street.

Mum's ALWAYS been a go-getter and passed on the same values to us. From starting her own supermarket to learning NEW things and staying updated on technology and applications, she's always constantly learning and growing as a person. So, I didn't have to LOOK outside the HOUSE for a role model because my mum was right there, AMBITIOUS and driven.

From the moment I SAW 'Camelot' as a kid, the organic inclination of performing before a live AUDIENCE is RAW and visceral. Once you're out there, there's no yelling 'Cut!' or any such THING as a do-over because that moment has PASSED, and you're in it as it's happened and gone, sharing it with everyone.
