There's no way I could look like this without them.

I was a married woman and I had a baby. I would have adored it, but I just couldn't do it because I'm a lady.

I do like to shock and surprise people. When it's all in good fun, of course.

There's no way I could look like this without them.

To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change.

I want to make my music a genre that people can immediately identify: something that never existed.

Being on the road, I think, is the most organised part of my life. You know where you have to be every day; you know what your job is every day. I crave that tiny bit of stability, which anyone else would think is the most unstable way of living, ever.

The choices we make about the lives we live determine the kinds of legacies we leave.

There are as many attitudes to cooking as there are people cooking, of course, but I do think that cooking guys tend - I am a guilty party here - to take, or get, undue credit for domestic virtue, when in truth cooking is the most painless and, in its ways, ostentatious of the domestic chores.

Happiness is a ball after which we run wherever it rolls and we push it with our feet when it stops.

Despite this lamentable lack of balance in our education I do not believe that either children or adults in my country are permeated by a widespread hostility to Germany.

I've become very interested in the spectrum of political discourse as seen on the cable news channels that are conveniently right in a row on my cable provider's dial. I can flip from Fox to CNN to HLN to MSNBC, and I find myself at night flipping it back and forth through them, and it's something of an addiction.

In 1993, as House Democratic Leader, I led the fight to pass the Clinton-Gore economic plan - a plan designed to slash the deficit, invest in education, cut taxes for working families, and ask the wealthy among us to pay their fair share... Not one Republican voted for that plan. They said it was a job killer.

Painters must speak through paint, not through words.

The Obama representatives like Robert Gibbs attack people viciously, but people like me will not be silent and will answer them back.

If we talk about the glass being half empty or half full, I want to know what does the glass look like from underneath the table?

We turned the switch, saw the flashes, watched for ten minutes, then switched everything off and went home. That night I knew the world was headed for sorrow.

The face you have at age twenty-five is the face God gave you, but the face you have after fifty is the face you earned.

The United States is like a big company, and we need a CEO to run it.

Well, you know, 'Spaceballs' is a weird combination, because it's a simple, sweet little fairytale, and it's crazy and out-there and making fun of and taking apart sci-fi, 'Star Wars', and 'Star Trek'.

Taste is the common sense of genius.

Never give up, and be confident in what you do. There may be tough times, but the difficulties which you face will make you more determined to achieve your objectives and to win against all the odds.

When there's a clear vision, and you've got the creative teams working toward that goal, each on their own, it can then come together quite elegantly at the endpoint.

I did not have a happy family life a few years ago. I was divorced, and I was very alienated from my daughter, and I was out there cutting every ribbon and running around New York hosting events for different causes to supplant my loss because I didn't have a family to go home to. Now I don't want to be Mr. Show Business anymore.

I think about death every day - what it would be like, why it would happen to me. It would be humiliating to be afraid.

I'm proud of everything I've done.

I never really thought I had much to add to the conversation that was occurring at 'MADtv.' I didn't know what I would do on the show. But I showed up, and I was surprised - it was fun to work on. Everybody there was really nice, and they seemed to be interested in my contributions.

The insatiable need for heartless power and ruthless control is the telltale sign of an uninitiated man the most irresponsible incompetent and destructive force on earth.
