• If you wish to collect complimentary material for a record of yourself, never appeal to your relations. They may be proud of you as an asset to the family name, but they have a gift for remembering your gawky period privately, the follies and faults you committed and have forgotten. You may have come up in the world with a laurel on your brow, but if you go back home forty years later wearing two laurels on your brow, and a noble expression, they will miss the point.

• Our doctrinal obligation is to our own ancestors. This is because the celestial organization of heaven is based on families. The First Presidency has encouraged members, especially youth and young single adults, to emphasize family history work and ordinances for their own family names or the names of ancestors of their ward and stake members. We need to be connected to both our roots and branches. The thought of being associated in the eternal realm is indeed glorious.

• My first agent dissuaded me from calling myself 'Cumberbatch.' I had six months of not very productive time with her, so I changed agents. The new one said, 'Why aren't you using your family name? It's a real attention-grabber.' I worried, 'How much is it going to cost to put my name in lights?' But then I decided that's not my problem.

• Pienso en lo realmente interesante y extraño que es que, cuando una mujer se casa, tradicionalmente pierde su nombre, que pasa a ser absorbido por el apellido del marido: en efecto, se pierde, se evapora de todos los registros con su apellido de soltera. Por fin entiendo la rabia que hay detrás del feminismo: la idea de que, como mujer, eres una propiedad que se transmite entre tu padre y tu marido, pero nunca un individuo que exista de forma independiente. Y, por otro lado, también es una de las pocas formas en que uno puede perderse legítimamente: nadie lo cuestiona.

• Some of them [family names] have sentimental value for some reason or another, some of them just sound beautiful. Some of them are because of people that are meaningful to us in our lives. So it's hard to say which one we'll pick. Sometimes they say you have to see the child before you decide. So maybe when we see her we'll make a last-second decision.
