Such a monstrosity should be put alongside of the Rhyming Bible, of which, I believe, only one copy is in existence.

• My bedtime was 8 P.M. But on Cosby nights, I got to stay up until 8:30. Real big deal. This is when they could afford to do a completely different title sequence in TV every year. I always looked forward to that. It was like a mini musical at the top of the show. My favorite was the Top Hat fancy version.

• I'm sitting in the drive-through and I've got my three girls in the back and this station comes on and it's playing “Jailhouse Rock,” the original version, and my girls are jumping up and down, going nuts.

• I feel like I owe it to the readers to try to pull back the veil and give them the honest version of what's going on. But it's not more fun.

• I was interesting in discovering more about [Elizabeth Taylor], and I always tried to focus more on the woman than the legend or the icon and everybody's own individual version of what that is.

She was extreme, but she had the ability to love again and again and again and still believe in it every time.
