Sometimes I think it's better to be a diva.

This profession has fed me creatively and allowed me to have a home life and a private life.

Working with my husband, I thought we would be at each other. As close as we are, our styles are so different. But it didn't happen - we were surprised.

And I've had vocal training on and off for years.

Always wanted to be an actress or work with animals and now I get to do both.

I get paid to not laugh.

I know my husband really loves me because he takes me to have ribs. He says I'm the only girl he ever took out who actually ate anything on her plate, as opposed to pushing it around.

I don't have a directorial overview, which sometimes is very helpful.

No one is ever really dead unless we find the body.

The CD is dedicated to our dog Nell, who passed away last year.

Don't know about a cabaret act right now, would actually prefer a role in a broadway musical.

I am a makeup junkie... Yves St. Laurent, Christian Dior, and anything else that looks good.

Sometimes I think it's better to be a diva.

When you see something that is well-written, the actors can get behind it.

We love to be with our family and friends and I can tell you that lots of eating will be involved.

Anything I do has to have integrity, so if you just want to make music, it's not difficult finding support. The hard part for a publicist or manager is making a star.

I live my life like everyone else; everyone has their own obstacles. Mine is deafness.

When you see people who are really good at game shows, the one common attribute is a cool head under pressure: an ability to perform as well in the studio, surrounded by lights and noise, as you do on your couch.

My head has got regrets, but I haven't.

The humor is essentially dark for a cartoon and sophisticated. But at the same time, being a cartoon gives the writers more freedom than in a normal sitcom. It always pushes the line that, despite human failings, the Simpsons are really decent people.

Valuation depends on several factors. From an investor angle, they look at leadership position, management, and what the company's offerings are. I think these three things got 5/5 for a company like Flipkart, and that is what is driving valuations and growth.

The internet is global and seemingly omniscient, while iPods and phones are all microscopic workings encased in plastic blobjects. Compare that to a steam engine, where you can watch the pistons move and feel the heat of its boilers. I think we miss that visceral appeal of the machine.

We mustn't forget we chose the name 'WWW' before there was even one line of code written. We could do that because the Internet as an infrastructure was already there.

I like funny guys and those, for some reason, tend to be nerdy guys.

The two ethnic groups that remain fundamentally different from the Han Chinese - in terms of history, culture, language, religion and physical appearance - are the Uighurs and Tibetans. In these two groups, the Han Chinese come face to face with difference.

Stunted varieties were generally chosen, particularly if they had the side branches opposite or regular, for much depends upon this; a one-sided tree is of no value in the eyes of the Chinese.

I am baffled by the way sophisticated theologians who know Adam and Eve never existed still keep talking about it.

The few words of a title are the hardest words for any author to come up with.

My teammates, they keep you focused.

Could there be a cowgirl in my future? You know, I never know what character is going to come and tap me on the shoulder and say, 'Hey, tell my story.' So maybe the next one will have boots.

When I was young, I thought I wouldn't be a good mother. Now I think I would be, but I'm too long in the tooth.

My family lived off the land and summer evening meals featured baked stuffed tomatoes, potato salad, corn on the cob, fresh shelled peas and homemade ice cream with strawberries from our garden. With no air conditioning in those days, the cool porch was the center of our universe after the scorching days.

Even when I have to write a simple letter I'm scared stiff as if faced with looming seasickness.

With Iran, we negotiated privately in 2012-2013 from a position of strength, not a position of weakness. The secret negotiations in Oman. This ultimately led to the Joint Plan of Action of November 2013.

Emergency health care for illegal aliens along the southwestern border is already costing area hospitals $200 million a year, with perhaps another $100 million in extended care costs.

The America I know is great - not because government made it great but because ordinary citizens like me, like my father and like you are given the opportunity every day to do extraordinary things.

Embrace change even when the change slaps you in the face.

I grew up in a community where it was not the exception to be a good girl. It was sort of expected. And all of my friends were good girls too, and my boyfriends were good boys. Everybody was pretty nice. And that affects how I write my characters. There aren't very many bad guys in my novels.

Bureaucratic nonsense at airports drives me crazy.
