A 1920s dress I wore on my 21st birthday... literally disintegrated on me. I had the most wild debauched night. And that disintegrated dress sits in my closet - such a great memory.
Copy Quote View & ShareI like to do special things for people. Any time someone has a birthday, I make them a really special cake that they all seem to love - it's a Coca-Cola cake.
Copy Quote View & ShareI did not have a normal life. I'd be training when my sister would be at birthday parties and sleepovers.

Copy Quote View & ShareOn Sept. 20, 2011, a year after I spoke with Rabanni, a couple of Taliban emissaries arrived at his Kabul fortress with a gift for his 71st birthday.

Copy Quote View & ShareI remember debating the finer points of flaky pastry with my chicken-pot-pie-obsessed American dad.

Thank God he's famous.
