My phone has been ringing off the hook. I have like 17 cell phones and pagers.

Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes. It gave me the strength to persevere and warmed my heart.

I think there is a way to be formal and elegant and classy, but more modern. Brad Pitt has been changing it, and Will Smith has been doing it in his own way.

I'll name names, you know I won't hold back.

You're surfing with all this glamour, and a lot of people are talking about Gwyneth, JLo, and Cameron.

In the last couple of years, fashion's gotten a lot safer. People are really pulling back.

We are going to have a huge Oscar issue, you are going to see everything in such beautiful detail.

I don't hold that everybody has to love fashion. Some people like gardening.

I feel great, the prognosis is excellent.

I was on this bridge overlooking the carpet... I think it went all the way back to Oregon.

My phone has been ringing off the hook. I have like 17 cell phones and pagers.

I want everybody who is watching to come to the Academy Awards with us. I'm going to pay for the bus.

We all get swept up in the hype machine. Nobody is immune to that.

I'm very grateful to Jennifer Lopez, because I have something to talk about for the last couple of years.

The criteria, for me, is movie star. It's Hollywood. Not Somalia.

J. Lo, whether she is good or bad, is like a fiery movie star, a throwback to Elizabeth Taylor in her heyday.

I am a child of Hollywood and dreams. To me, to be on the red carpet is the best place in the world.

I used a lot of pancake makeup and a prayer, and a Buddhist chant.

I was born with this. It's a hereditary genetic condition. This is something you can go your whole life without really knowing that something's wrong. I had high blood pressure, and that was the first sign.

I wrote the book in my head when I was 6 years old.

On the red carpet, I saw all these great stories, and I also got to see the plastic surgery up close.

Courtney Love is a loose cannon. She says what she thinks. She's wild on the red carpet. You get the best sound bites from Courtney Love.

I liked Nicole Kidman because she is so fashionable she can do less is more. It was very, very simple, but it was so chic. Some people thought she looked washed out, I didn't at all.

I am going to get political on you. Because I am the most shallow person in the world, my mission is to see men's formal wear change a little bit. It is too rigid! Everybody looks like a penguin!

I'm just a vessel of information.

I'm wearing a garbage bag. I was put on my own worst-dressed list.

I'm being invaded by fashion pundits.

I'm a writer. Now I've started to be on television. I have a big mouth. And I have good TV teeth, they say.

I'm immensely grateful for the precious gift my mother has given me. She is my hero today and every day.

I'm not getting paid right now. No pay, no critique.

The gift that has been given to me says much about our capacity for great compassion and generosity, and I hope it sends an inspiring message to others about the importance of organ donation.

If you dress like a movie star, you have me.

It is important to stress: Africa is also a victim of the September 11 attacks.

I think it's important that filmmakers look at the technology and figure out how to make the theatrical experience a little more exciting.

My husband is from Hawaii and his father who was also born in Hawaii was a teenager when Pearl Harbor happened, right before church and he ran up and got on the roof of his grandfather's house and watched the planes go over.

In this world of chance and change and mutability, the fulfillment of any resolve depends on the will of the Lord.

It's hard for the donkeys to win the race if they're going to carry the elephants on their backs.

I've always said I'm a teacher at heart.

I'm not one of those true writers who can't bear not to be writing. Yet it's one of the most important things in my life.

Writing songs has always been hard and easy. It's not always easy when you want it to be, and then sometimes it's just like turning on the faucet. That's just the nature of it.

My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

Sweet, loveable, and with every click revealing a new surprise, 'Botanicula' creates both a wonderful world where bees and twigs play in the universe and sets up a daring story of a group of unlikely heroes taking on a tree's last hope of survival.

I record myself talking. I have a journal. And when I listen back, I remember why I wanted certain things. I listen to me at 16, saying 'I really wanna be on TV... I want a movie, a huge movie...' and I'm just like, 'Yo, I'm humbled. I'm living a life I imagined.'

I guess everything having to do with your background has some influence on how you tell stories but it's hard to parse how growing up in a Jewish community in Minnesota really affected it.

The right of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel does not mean disregarding the rights of others in the land.

The fact that healthier lifestyles and advances in medicine mean that we are living longer is actually something to be celebrated.

It doesnt matter how many say it cannot be done or how many people have tried it before its important to realize that whatever youre doing its your first attempt at it.

I can't wait to get my face lifted but my husband says, 'No, don't do it.' I think if it makes you feel better, go for it, but it would be nice if it looked good. There are a lot of people out there who are disasters and you think, 'Why did you do that?'

People begin to resent the rich only when they conclude that the system is rigged.
