Anytime a member of Congress wants to travel abroad - which we do from time to time as part of our official duties - we are required to check with the House Committee on Ethics as to whether the trip follows the ethics rules by which federally elected officials are bound. Not so with Supreme Court justices.
My little boy loves mambo, and my daughter, besides Justin Bieber, likes bachata - in our house, we're always singing.
I was impressed with what someone like Karl Lagerfeld built and did and the house that he made, but there was never really a female figure I wanted to emulate.
In 2002, a year after 9-11, as a Congressman, I was banned from the White House by Karl Rove because I told the 'Washington Times' that if there is another terrorist attack on our homeland and we have done nothing more than Bush has done to date, 'Bush will have blood on his hands.'
If Bush does make it to the White House, he and Laura should have Ken Starr over for dinner.
A sold-out house my first night back. Do you have any idea what kinda pressure that is? I could have been at home in my warm bed, playing Nintendo.
I used to hold Stanley Kubrick film festivals at my house in high school. These are not cool things.
Whether it's created in a lab, written by a programmer, or lands on the White House lawn as a visitor from the stars, if it acts like a human being, it is a human being.
I hate being put in a box labelled 'tropical house.'
I don't know why people think I'm polished - I often leave the house with buttons missing and ladders in my tights.
Fits did not go over well in my house. There was a lot of discipline and obedience and you had to be very ladylike. Ladies didn't curse and I still don't curse in front of my parents.
When I was very young - around the age of nine - my family used to go to a house in Somerset that my stepfather rented every summer. There was fishing, lakes and riding.
Home is, I suppose just a child's idea. A house at night, and a lamp in the house. A place to feel safe.
I have a karaoke lounge in my house, complete with a tiki bar and hula-girl lamps and disco balls.
I had always suspected that one could build an entire house from what went into the landfill, and, sure enough, it's true.
I was raised in a house on the far South Side of Chicago, in a development erected on a landfill made from slag and other industrial by-products a few years after World War II.
I moved to L.A. after my landlord in Brooklyn tripled my rent. I spent months looking for other places to move to in New York, then one day I was in California eating a grapefruit, and I was like, 'This is what they taste like?' So I decided to move to L.A. and build a studio in my house.
I've already composed and written a letter to the House administration telling them to withhold my paycheck in the event of a lapse of appropriations.
I think that winning the White House is about more than just entertaining a large audience.
I grew up in a very large family in a very small house. I never slept alone until after I was married.
