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

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.

Before you can hit the jackpot, you have to put a coin in the machine.

The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.

The genius of the economic machine is in its ability to convert these indulgences into profitability. It converts desire into attention, a grip on our eyeballs and eardrums, which in turn can be marketed to advertisers.

If you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage. But this garbage, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow ennobled and none dare criticize it.

I was about 11 when my mother brought me this karaoke machine and I was really into it back then, but about 4 or 5 years ago is when I started printing up my own music, going to the studio and doing my own thing.

Man is a fire-stealing animal, and we can't help building machines and machine intelligences, even if, from time to time, we use them not only to outsmart ourselves but to bring us right up to the doorstep of Doom.

When the machine had been fastened with a wire to the track, so that it could not start until released by the operator, and the motor had been run to make sure that it was in condition, we tossed a coin to decide who should have the first trial. Wilbur won.

Since, however, it is immaterial whether the work is done by assistants or a machine, I decided to build a machine equivalent to an array of about 200 separating funnels.

Man is a beautiful machine that works very badly.

What that means initially is that you have alot of products that are only slightly better games in the same genre on another machine - and the titles that really take advantage of the machine come along later.

To one who believes that really good industrial conditions are the hope for a machine civilization, nothing is more heartening than to watch conference methods and education replacing police methods.

One of the things I particularly enjoyed doing was taking raw sound from locations during the film, like the candy machine, and writing pieces of music to go with them, which is totally unnecessary within the context of the film, because they have their own logic.

Most countries are static, and they need to do is keep having babies. But America's like this big old clanking smoking machine that just lumbers across the landscape scooping up and eating everything in sight.

Come to think of it, the way I play is like a drum machine- very mechanical.

It was like falling off a building and suddenly, bang, you hit the bottom. The first time it happened was on an ordinary day at home. I was taking down some curtains. I took one step, turned around, took another step and then I fell and hit my head hard on the rowing machine.

Admiration of the proletariat, like that of dams, power stations, and aeroplanes, is part of the ideology of the machine age.

Television is the triumph of machine over people.
