I'm not a very good painter, but I'm learning a lot.

One newspaper even published one of my nude paintings - the one of me naked from the waste up.

You know, just because you're a blonde type doesn't mean you can't suddenly do serious parts.

Painting self-portraits without clothes on has also given me some publicity.

Believe it or not, I was all fully rounded by the time I was nine years old.

We made one film called Thy Neighbor's Wife in which I got flogged at the public whipping post for adultery. I did my best acting in that film, I guess.

When I got large enough to go to work, while employed I was reflecting on many things that would present themselves to my imagination; and whenever an opportunity occurred of looking at a book, when the school-children were getting their lessons, I would find many things that the fertility of my own imagination had depicted to me before.

In the fall of the year 2000, there just happened to be a decision point when they asked me to become Chief Executive Officer of the company. It was a time when, as you remember, we were starting to have some real problems in the California energy markets.

It is far better to be alone than to be in bad company.

I knew how many MPs I had assigned to the brigade, how many military prison operations I would be running, but we needed to evaluate how many criminal prison operations we could support.

Real men stay faithful. They dont have time to look for another woman because theyre too busy looking for new ways to love their own.

In some ways, I've been left with this great 'idolic' image of my father, but there's a sense of absence, too. You miss his advice and, also, his getting to know the person I have become.

Sea Shepherd does not condone, nor do we practise, violence.

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

You have so much to share, you have so much to tell, you have so much you want to expose, so much that's inside that you've learned from that life period. There are really very few people I can share that with.

All my humor is based on destruction and despair. If the whole world were tranquil, without disease and violence, I'd be standing in the bread line - right in back of J. Edgar Hoover.

As the mother of a son, I do not accept that alienation from me is necessary for his discovery of himself. As a woman, I will not cooperate in demeaning womanly things so that he can be proud to be a man. I like to think the women in my son's future are counting on me.

The bad boys get all the best lines.

Believe the unbelievable, dream the impossible, never take no for an answer.

When I'm good I'm very good, but when I'm bad I'm better.

We still insist, by and large, in thinking that we can understand China by simply drawing on Western experience, looking at it through Western eyes, using Western concepts. If you want to know why we unerringly seem to get China wrong... this is the reason.

I grew up listening to everything. I was in rock n' roll bands and punk bands, and I loved bluegrass and country music, too. Then, when I moved to Nashville, I put out a very traditional country record because that's just what you do. I had a bunch of very traditional country songs. Next thing you know, you're a country singer.

The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.
