I was in a convent for a year.

Yes, because when you're in love, you are shy.

My life is full of mistakes. They're like pebbles that make a good road.

Here in America we're doing the most wonderful crafts.

You know, God, the power that makes life, whatever it is, had just to make two things, masculine and feminine, for all this mischief. And made them so there is this entirely different point of view about love and sex.

You know, acting is very fascinating. But being an actress is not, because you become so concentrated on yourself.

And then a great thing in my life was going to India.

Well, I don't go out much socially. I don't enjoy going out.

A rich poet from Harvard has no sense in his mind, except the aesthetic.

But I was very, very unhappy because my mother was very charming and generous, but to me, very dominating.

And several galleries - two had asked me and I said no, because I didn't want to leave things on consignment.

But you can't realize, you can't know what another person goes through.

Over and over I'm on the point of giving it up.

I don't like to sell my finest pieces.

Certainly I was relatively a refined person. No way a tramp.

There's so much more to life than that, though I think that acting is fascinating because you can forget your own sorrow as you act and become somebody else.

And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.

I'm not too interested in books about India.

The second time I was there I met Marcel Duchamp, and we immediately fell for each other. Which doesn't mean a thing because I think anybody who met Marcel fell for him.

But, you see, the theatre is not always art in America.

You see, I was never stage-struck the way most girls were.

And then, of course, most potters, they go in for earth tones and subdued things, and I like color.

I was in a convent for a year.

Sex is energy.

First of all, I'd like to say here the fact that I'm not naturally a craftsman has made me work very hard.

And I think maybe all women, if they just had a chance, would be romantic and believe in love and not sex. And men believe in sex and not love.

I happen to believe that there is an afterlife.

A rich poet from Harvard has no sense in his mind except the aesthetic.

I rallied all the youth around me, all the people who liked Compa, but felt like it was dying, going away, being replaced with Zouk. So it became a movement. So, through the years, I've played my music with dedication, discipline and originality, and controversy also.

I am not ashamed of anything - not my past, not my affairs, not my body, and most definitely not my desire.

Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.

I think that the people who are trying to shut down WikiLeaks are going to have to accept this as a fact of reality that cryptography allows you to do this kind of thing.

There is no other country that has the Cuban Adjustment Act; that's why it's called the Cuban Adjustment Act and not the Nicaraguan Adjustment Act.

The Empress has been connected with the ideas of universal fecundity and in a general sense with activity.

I would never get married in a conventional way; I'd have the 'Curb' music as the union music.

When I wake up every morning, I thank God for the new day.

John Boehner is a friend.

For decathletes, our event goes all throughout the day so you're trying to go up and down and up and down emotionally and physically and you know mentally you're just on a roller coaster.

I mean that I think I find the psychology of people more interesting than politics. I think the psychology of politics is more interesting than straight politics.

The Iraqi forces are conducting the Mother of all Retreats.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

As an athlete, confidence makes me more competitive and helps me perform better.

I really practiced hard and got to a certain level of technical proficiency. I overcame some of my limitations. I was a hard-working, dedicated bassoonist, but I have to say I'm not a natural musician.

I'm a huge fan of good, procedural-type shows on television... there are a lot of roles for women. But there aren't a lot of great network television roles for girls that will let you start a character in one place and finish up with her in a totally different one.

I was neither black enough for the black kids or Dominican enough for the Dominican kids. I didn't have a safe category.

Why would we want to keep a tax cut that's failed? Why would we not want to go back to the Clinton tax code? And why would we not want to help every family more with a health-care plan like mine? Let's help average people. Let's be Democrats.
