Adopted kids are such a pain - you have to teach them how to look like you.

I base my fashion taste on what doesn't itch.

I'd much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they're the first to be rescued off sinking ships.

I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn't itch.

Comedy is very controlling - you are making people laugh.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end.

While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die - whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness.

The goal is to live a full, productive life even with all that ambiguity. No matter what hap- pens, whether the cancer never flares up again or whether you die, the important thing is that the days that you have had you will have lived.

I can always be distracted by love, but eventually I get horny for my creativity.

You feel completely in control when you hear a wave of laughter coming back at you that you have caused.

I'm so full I can't hear.

Dreams are like paper, they tear so easily.

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Fame changes a lot of things, but it can't change a lightbulb.

Having cancer gave me membership in an elite club I'd rather not belong to.

I grew up in front of a television. I guess I'll grow old inside of one.

I think clothes should make you feel safe. I like clothes you want to go to sleep in. I sometimes stand in front of a mirror and change a million times because I know I really want to wear my nightgown.

I would say that Lucy, 'I Love Lucy,' she was my idol.

I'm not really an impersonator.

Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end.

There is no real security except for whatever you build inside yourself.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now Ive learned the hard way that some poems dont rhyme and some stories dont have a clear beginning middle and end. Life is about not knowing having to change taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing whats going to happen next.

I think dogs are the most amazing creatures they give unconditional love. For me they are the role model for being alive.

Motherhood is the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. Its huge and scary its an act of infinite optimism.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

I didn't do the typical things that young kids do.

My kids enjoy the Disney program, Lizzy McGuire.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

I think having eight kids evens things out a bit. You learn about the world; you learn about the world; you learn you've got to get along. We're all - if anything - very adjustable.

We're parents first, and once you have kids, everybody knows that you have priority lists. Number one is your family and everything else just kind of finds its place.

I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.

If kids like a picture book, they're going to read it at least 50 times. Read anything that often, and even minor imperfections start to feel like gravel in the bed.

Sounds so silly, but I want to accomplish getting my kids through college.

And there's a lot of that stuff with people bringing their kids, kids bringing their parents, people bringing their grandparents - I mean, it's gotten to be really stretched out now. It was never my intention to say, this is the demographics of our audience.

It's up to each person's parents whether they think it's too frightening or too violent, how much their kids can handle, what they want to teach them, what they want to show them.

For kids it's natural to be competitive.

I'd hope to reach any kid who feels apart from the group - those who seem to be outsiders, who feel different. Kids who want to reach their parents often don't know how to do so.

So, not only am I panicking over the weekend if I need to know my lines, but also if can I get the kids to the zoo. Can I even go to church? I was asking for certain things that would allow me to plan my life a little better.

The real question isn't whether you love your kids or not, but how well you are able to demonstrate your love and caring so that your children really feel loved.

Young kids are taking Viagra, ecstasy. They even want instant sex.

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

The Professional Children's School, it's for professional kids, so if you wanted to ditch, you could just write, Audition on a note and leave. I didn't really like school all that much.

I mean, obviously, a lot of people know me around the world. Kids know me.

My kids act all the time and it's exactly what I used to do.
