Turning Her Inner Child Into a Bestselling Author: A Conversation With Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Curtis has been in professional acting for an almost unbelievable 50-plus years. She is one of America’s most recognizable stars, both for the horror movies that made her famous but also for the other roles she’s played, mostly comedies.

You probably also remember her for some of the TV commercials she’s seen in.

And she is also an author, specifically, a children’s book author. She’s written over a dozen, many of them bestsellers.

A book she wrote in 1998 was one of those bestsellers. She called it Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day.

It certainly made my day On That September afternoon when we met to talk about the book.

So here now, from 1998, Jamie Lee Curtis.

Jamie Lee Curtis is 66 now. She was named a “Disney Legend” last year.

How many times a day do you lie, cheat, or steal?

If you’re like most people, you might say, with some pride, you never lie, cheat or steal.

That’s a lie.

Psychology and behavioral economics professor Dan Ariely says we all do it. Thing is, we almost all do it just a little, not enough to ruin our self-image of being a good, honest person.

In his 2012 book The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty Ariely explained the science behind our misbehaviors.

So here now, from 2012, Dan Ariely.

Dan Ariely, who is 56 now, has taught at Duke University since 2008.
