The Irish sometimes make and keep a vow against whiskey; these vows are usually limited to a short time.
My father was a certain kind of man - I saw how he treated my mother and his family and how he treated strangers. And I vowed I would never make a film that would not reflect properly on my father's name.
Early in my life I had made a pact with myself. I would never eat anything that moved when I cooked it, excited the dog, or inflated upon impact with my teeth.
I'm always saying I won't get involved with an actor again, but then I realize how silly that is. The men I meet most often are actors.
I don't drink. I don't do any drugs.
If there's two things I will never do, it would be grow a beard and pick up the uke again.
I swore I would never do a reality show. I've been offered them for years and years because our family life is a little crazy - I will admit to that. Definitely not the conventional mom or family - or anything, for that matter.
Conservatives believe in the ties that bind us. Society is stronger when we make vows to each other and we support each other. I don't support gay marriage in spite of being a conservative. I support gay marriage because I am a conservative.
