"I like learning new skills and the feeling of going back to school." — Edith Bowman

When I was nine or 10, I remember having a dinner party at my mum and dad's house. I wanted to have a Thanksgiving dinner because I'd watched so many films that had Thanksgiving in it and I thought: 'Why do we not celebrate this?' So I cooked this big Thanksgiving dinner for probably 10 people and I wouldn't let anybody help me.

I experimented as a teen, and had some hellish hairstyles - way too many perms and cheap hairspray!
