If we're at a lunch table, I'm going to always sit with the girls. That's just kind of how I am. I always gravitate towards women. I know how to communicate with women.
In relating our misfortunes, we often feel them lightened.
All parents are an embarrassment to their kids. Often, grandparents are the relief. Kids don't have to resist you.
I don't want to see my family all the time, and they're delighted, I'm sure, to be aware of that.
When you're around your family, and you have that history and that shared language, you say things you'd be embarrassed to hear quoted back to you later.
When you relate to a person and are being friendly, it's easy to do a scene without looking uncomfortable.
My friends know that I have a silly sense of humour and I can be a little vulgar at times - but just with people that I am close to.
We need to be around our families not because we have so many shared experiences to talk about, but instead because they know precisely which subjects to avoid.
