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

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.

Success in this industry is not in finding the right person, but in becoming the right person.

We may think we are nurturing our garden but of course its our garden that is really nurturing us.

Chocolate is the go-to ingredient for many people. It is the thing people crave when they are happy and celebrate; it is also the go-to ingredient for many people when we are sad or depressed. It makes us feel better.

The newest books are those that never grow old.

We have a broad range of snackers - moms, kids and healthy active people.

That's what the 'Doctor' is about, essentially - having that energy that you just can't understand.

The Myth of Male Power dealt much more with the political issues, the legal issues, sexual harassment, date rape, women who kill, and those issues were very much more interfaced with the agendas of feminism.

They say politics is a contact sport, and I have to agree with that.

I'm in California a lot; I go overseas sometimes and I meet more Hells Angels than other Angels do.

The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.

Napster was a black market for music. Ninety-nine per cent of the music that people were downloading was illegal because they didn't have the rights for it.

What you feel is important may not be what the director feels is important.

People in chorus tends to be much more emotional or at least wear their hearts on their sleeve. They are generally the kind to hold hands and cry. Its just a different personality type.

Every August, I go away for four weeks to a place in Michigan. I work in the mornings, spend the month in shorts and flip-flops. It gives me time to think like an investor and come back in September for some heavy planning.

I enjoyed reading all the classic authors like Isaac Asimov and Bradbury.

When you confront a problem you begin to solve it.

When you're running a company, creating jobs is the last thing you want to. When you're running a company you want to employ as few people as possible, and yet you inadvertently create jobs.
