I was supposed to be on the Tonight Show but I broke my shoulder instead.

I was supposed to be on the Tonight Show but I broke my shoulder instead.

Carrot Top... I gave him advice once and he ran with it. He should thank me.

Red Skelton... I broke into tears when I met him.

Marty Richards is an angel on Earth. A producer that does what he says he'll do. He helped me greatly.

I went to Sirius Satellite Radio and did my show, Rapping With Rip.

Because someone stole Gregory Peck's star on Hollywood Blvd., I have hired a Brink's guard to protect my star!

I went to see Harvey again in Fiddler. Harvey's throat is getting better.

I have a new joke today. Martha Stewart's on suicide watch. They had to unplug all of her ovens.

I've created such a monster.

I really love the EMS Vocoder 2000, which is a pretty nice little box. You put one thing in one end and another in the other end, and you're able to change vocals by the sound and do a lot - it's just got a great sound. But the thing is, it's a bit clunky, so it's kind of hard to use it.

I very much looked up to Janet Evans and Summer Sanders.

Trials teach us what we are.

I want to be able to follow the example of those extraordinary British actresses who move effortlessly from film to TV to theatre roles.

Every great historic change has been based on nonconformity, has been bought either with the blood or with the reputation of nonconformists.

Everything is determined by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as the star. Human beings vegetables or cosmic dustwe all dance to a mysterious tune intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.

For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.

Elephant populations in India and also in the whole of Asia are under severe stress. The captive ones are rendered jobless due to changes in the mode of transport and lifestyle of people. The ones in the wild are also no better off, as the forests are shrinking.

Players are artists who create their own reality within the game.

Sometimes stories are inherently important whether or not they have a direct relation to your life.

I end up doing selfies 'cause I am so sad.

Having a purpose and knowing exactly what your values are will add additional years to your life.

I went jogging up on Mulholland. In the middle of my run I had some form of asthma attack and couldn't even walk. I couldn't get a ride one block to my house. I thought I was going to die.

I opened the script to the 'The Wall,' and 15 minutes later I was done with it, and I loved the movie and wanted to be part of it.

A major focus of 'Reality Hunger' is appropriation and plagiarism and what these terms mean. I can hardly treat the topic deeply without engaging in it. That would be like writing a book about lying and not being permitted to lie in it.

Thomas Jefferson once said, 'We should never judge a president by his age, only by his works.' And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.

Love is staying up all night with a sick child - or a healthy adult.

There's a lot you can do without words.

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.

I've got a nice collection of paintings - a Basquiat, a black-and-white Warhol that's like a Rorschach test, and I commissioned Takashi Murakami to do a ten-foot joint for me. It's almost like the explosion in Hiroshima with his famous skeleton head. There's a wall above my fireplace reserved for it.

Hitchhiking was such a pure form of existence. You'd wake up in the morning, and you'd have no idea what your day was going to be. And that's something I've never been able to shake. I loved that.

I like sparkly things.

It felt amazing to be one of a handful working female directors in Hollywood.

I have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him.
