If you think Independence Day is America's defining holiday, think again. Thanksgiving deserves that title, hands-down.

I really only ever go on sun holidays so in my experience I prepare myself for the beach.

I just feel - specifically about that holiday - why is it just one day that you have to tell the person that you love how much you love them? I think that is a little silly. I am much more the girl that likes the spontaneous.

CBS started to confiscate our packages and mail as a safety procedure. A lot of packages that people send for the holidays and to our kids we can't open. A lot of times they are from overseas. It's very upsetting at times.

I've just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I'll tell you what, never again.

In August most of Europe goes on holiday.

I also hate those holidays that fall on a Monday where you don't get mail, those fake holidays like Columbus Day. What did Christopher Columbus do, discover America? If he hadn't, somebody else would have and we'd still be here. Big deal.

I have the biggest sweet tooth. After the holidays, I gotta start working out.

In spite of holidays when I was free to visit London theatres and explore the countryside, I spent four very miserable years as a colonial at an English school.

Orphans, dead parents, lonely children at Christmas, morose spoken word recordings, everything you love about the holidays. Move the turkey over so you can fit your head in the oven.

When Billie Holiday sings a song, I hear the song, but I always hear her and her truth.

I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up - they have no holidays.
