I would think: Stay close to the implants! They must know something because they keep getting asked backstage!

The idea of licking stamps seemed great fun for me.

I've got a new relationship and I'm trapped in this old life.

Gag me with a spoon!

I like to think of myself as a New Yorker, which is pathetic.

I would think: Stay close to the implants! They must know something because they keep getting asked backstage!

If there's anything more mortifying than being famous at 14, it's being washed up right after.

I made enough money to buy a house. That's crazy, but fame proved ephemeral.

I grew up with too much freedom. You can't define yourself.

I had a friend whose family had dinner together. The mother would tuck you in at night and make breakfast in the morning. They even had a spare bike for a friend. It just seemed so amazing to me.

Not many people know what their parents sound like having sex. It was noisy.

My mother tells this story that when I first went to school, I thought I was going to help the teachers. I didn't realise I was going to get educated.

I'm totally convinced I can write the perfect pop song.

My Dad was so open creatively that I was off in search of black turtleneck bathing suits with long sleeves.

I should just drive around this city and take photos of all the buildings I've been humiliated in.

Every job I've ever gotten has been an accident. All the jobs I actually go after, I don't get.

I didn't have any concept of age or authority. I remember realising, Oh, the world has rules and we don't.

My mother did literally hitchhike barefoot to the country store.

I spent most of my life locked in my bedroom, miserable about my raging acne.

It occurred to me, when I was old enough to make rules of my own, that they should be fair and simple.

How strange, when your father's wearing women's clothes and platform shoes, that a pair of loafers looks incredible.

We had two rules growing up in my house: If you're going to take a shower, do it with whomever you're dating so you don't waste water; and if you buy one for yourself, buy six, because everybody's going to want one.

I peaked early. I was told I'd missed my boat.

I think I have a dark view of the world. I have to make everything funny, otherwise it all seems so sad.

Your own experience keeps taking you towards something. My book adds the hope that it's a better something.

I don't want to lose my name because that's how I know myself. There is a legacy here.

I have a tree man coming to trim the jacaranda in my front garden.

Everyone has flaws. Its a matter of finding the ones you can live with.

I was at the vice president's Christmas party. I thought that his speech was spectacular, and I knew that it was a very emotional and difficult thing for him to do, but I admonished him for not waiting just one more stinking day.

Of course, the wind sort of swept up and the music was flying around in mid air and they were trying to play off it. You had to be there. It was quite funny.

Americans honor and respect each other's faith, and we honor those that choose to have no faith.

A noble truth is a sacred creed.

Wrestling is something I feel really confident in now.

One movie is only one movie. I want to have a lifetime of making films.

If I don't believe in a role, I can't pull it off.

Running is very spiritual for me. It is therapeutic; it clears my mind and helps me to focus.

Politics - when it's not cynical, it can be a creation.

I think any time anybody says something nasty about you, it's hard to deal with it.

If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

A strong and dedicated mentor can help a young woman get her foot in the door, get a promotion and get a raise.

Nothing gets transformed in your life until your mind is transformed.

When I gave up law to go into real estate, my mother said, 'How can you give up the law?' But she lived long enough to see the Bulls win all six championships. She would wear all six pendants at the same time. She could barely stand up.

More than anything else I recall being, or trying very deliberately to be, a perfect child. Not a Goody Two-shoes, but a kid who did good, who worked hard and met every expectation. I strove to achieve in the excessive way that psychotherapists tend to regard with concern.

Democracy is the name we give the people whenever we need them.

It's very possible that advertising business models will simply never do as well on mobile devices as those oriented around transactions.

I love 'The View,' so when you're living the dream, it's not work.

Everyone's like, 'overnight sensation.' It's not overnight. It's years of hard work.

As human beings, of course, we're all compromised and complex and contradictory and if a screenplay can express those contradictions within a character and if there's room for me to express them, that's a part I'd love to play, so much more than a character who is heroic and one-dimensional.

I'm a performer.
