A lot of my joy this year has been to give away awards to young people, no matter of race, creed or color, because they were a terrific violinist or a terrific dancer.

I have married thriteen couples. I'm about to do a marriage next month.

I think you can really tell a good actor if you can put a camera on them and they can just talk and emote and react and you don't have to keep cutting away from them, because they are the language and the behavior. It's all a tour-de-force performance.

I have some great stories and I will get around to writing a book.

The only thing that I could think of to do was to be an actress.

My favorite actresses were Geraldine Paige, Anne Bancroft and Kim Stanley.

So, I think that Marilyn, what she gave the world, and in many ways Kennedy too, was that they had dreams and they didn't allow anybody to take away their dreams.

I think that souls agree to come in and do what they're going to do and then leave when they're going to leave. So there's nothing tragic when a soul leaves. I think it was already preordained.

I really think that women should be allowed to be more European, in this country.

My point is that, over the years, I've taught five thousand people acting and lately I have a lot of energy on these kids, having the same break I had as a high school girl.

I certainly was one of the instigators in the 1960s of freedom of expression.

My activism and sexual revolution in New York was a factor.

In Europe you can be Sophia, you can be these older women who are considered very sexy.

In the case of Marilyn and John Kennedy, I think they did affect change.

My attitude is always one of sensuality, aggressive enthusiasm and a kind of outrageousness in my expression.

I think I'm more European in personality.

Probably what my comment meant was that I don't care about the circumstances if I can tell the truth.

So I have this ability, if I may say so, to spot talent.

I taught Sandra Bullock when no one knew who she was. I talked her out of quitting. I put her in a showcase.

When I was growing up watching Marilyn Monroe, I learned that you can be very beautiful, very glamorous and very vulnerable and not give up your soul just because you were a movie star.

I made a conscious decision back then that I would rather be the best actress who ever lived than the most famous one.

I'm on Governor Gray Davis' California Alliance Towards Education to bring the arts back to high schools.

I had art as a major, along with English, French and History. I had dance, modern dance. In English I was allowed to write my own poetry, which I eventually got published.

I had no idea that he was going to write that, but I've always believed that insecurity was what would keep you always in your innocence, no matter what the business did.

Education is the cornerstone of our communities and our country.

For a country to have a great writer is like having another government. That's why no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones.

Then, in that hour of deliverance, my heart spoke. Does not such a country, and such defenders of their country, deserve a song?

Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.

It may be shocking to some people in this country to realize that, without meaning to do so, they hold views in common with Hitler when they preach discrimination against other religious, racial or economic groups.

So, for example, a country was into recession right after I was sworn in, a dot-com bust had taken place. Then the attacks of September the 11th, and then of course the great financial meltdown in the -the fundamental question facing any presidency is how do you deal with the hand you're dealt?

And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

It was clear that the special interest groups in California really wanted the Chinese to be shut out of the country, because that was where the racial tension was the greatest.

Duty, Honor, Country. Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be.

What makes my approach special is that I do different things. I do jazz, blues, country music and so forth. I do them all, like a good utility man.
