The funnier the material, the funnier I could make it.

Some of those STINKIN' press people just had to make fun of my decision in joining the show. They also made fun of other choices in my life that I was proud of then and still am now!!!

It's so very important as to what a child watches on TV. I feel for every parent that knows this, and cares, because they only have control of the child's viewing to a certain point.

The funnier the material, the funnier I could make it.

I really learned the power of the tube on Sesame Street and how it can influence a very young mind.

Around 7 years old, we girls took dancing lessons, joined the Brownies, the Girl Scouts, the 4H Club.

Life has all sorts of hills and valleys, and sometimes you don't end up doing what you had your heart set out on, but sometimes that's even better!

I got everybody on my side through comedy.

My nephews all look at me differently now. Before, they couldn't relate to me, and now I'm like a god.

The original Dean Martin Comedy Hour handed me some hysterical sketches. I've got highlights on tons of these variety shows, given to me by their great writers. I'd love to be doing all that again.

I really enjoyed doing the voice of Nose Marie on the cartoon series Pound Puppies. Fun, FUN cast.

I can laugh on cue, and it sounds real. People laugh with me.

I created the characters from what I read in the script. I decided how I should talk, accent, no accent, my own voice, or a created voice. Then, I visualize what I should look like.

The best way for us to perhaps influence others is to instead focus on ourselves by doing our best - then others will be influenced from our leadership by example.

In preparation for it, we need to have folks who are trained, we need facilities, equipment and supplies, that are going to be built into our society, and we are going to spend a lot of money on it.

People have their complexities. They have their heroic moments and their villainous moments, too.

I really want to be a villain.

I definitely think that prescription drugs, like antidepressants, are prescribed so cavalierly, anyone can get anything, but I need it. I do think that it needs to work hand and hand with therapy.

It's difficult to write about poverty in a way that doesn't feel cliched.

In terms of brands, I generally try to stick with EDITION Hotels or Soho House. That way, I know what I'm getting myself into. Plus, the lobbies and bath soaps smell the same - if you're into that kinda thing, which I am.

I would love to win the Champions League once again. Winning big trophies like the Champions League or the World Cup is usually making people think, 'The players are not hungry any more.' Still, that's not what I feel.

Live with passion!

Republicans run the machine when it's their turn, and then hand the wheel over to Democrats when the public has had enough.

I don't need to worry about identity theft because no one wants to be me.

This is the entertainment industry, so game designers have to have a creative mind and also have to be able to stand up against the marketing people at their company - otherwise they cannot be creative. There are not that many people who fit that description.

It works both ways: there are victims of tragedy who come to me who have experienced grief of such magnitude that they cannot reconcile. Likewise, I cannot change the mentality of those who committed the crimes or the fools who followed them.

It's a bit of a sore spot, the Thanksgiving in Indian country.

The Democratic Party opposes tax cuts but it cannot say so publicly. Thus, it is forced to support the idea of lowering the tax burden but using class warfare rhetoric to dispute the allocation of the relief.

Actually, I bought one share of Warren Buffett's stock, probably 35 years ago, in order to read his letters.

I haven't collected memorabilia. I am not a person who lives in the past.

Young audience, in the age group of 16-33 years, constitutes the main viewership of Bollywood films.

Music videos may seem old hat now, but let me tell you, in the summer of 1981, MTV was indubitably the coolest thing ever invented. And the people who were in the videos... coolest people ever. No question.

Cloning may be good and it may be bad. Probably its a bit of both. The question must not be greeted with reflex hysteria but decided quietly soberly and on its own merits. We need less emotion and more thought.

I'm usually working on eight or 10 things at once.

I have been very fortunate in my life. I think I have an angel that is always with me. Good projects always come to me.

When I was in the 9th grade, on Halloween night, when you're supposed to go and out and burn your city, my mom made me go to 'Cirque du Soleil.' I was kicking and screaming. This girl came out onstage, and I was instantly mesmerized. I dropped out of school and became obsessed with her. I saw the show, like, 70 times.

I guess when I look over my shoulder at other designers, I feel like people are so definitive. It's so clear to me what their aesthetic is, what they're projecting. And I look at my own work and I think, Who could ever decipher what the hell is going on?
