A home is very, very important to me. But I do change things around a lot.

I've always believed that one woman's success can only help another woman's success.

There's a saying I read recently; I painted it on the fireplace and in my studio: "Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is fighting a great battle." We all are. Everyone.

You breathe in and out; you breathe in and you breathe out, and you live one moment into the next moment, and then time goes by, and you find you're able to put one foot in front of the other.

I'm always in love. If it's not with a man, it's something else. I love beauty. I love the sky I see outside the window. There's so much beauty in the world.

You must always have great, secret, big fat hopes for yourself in love and in life. The bigger, the better.

If you've never had a mother or a father, you grow up seeking something you're never going to find, ever. You seek it in love and in people and in beauty.

To be happy--one must find one's bliss

The only thing that would ever embarrass me would be something I would write that would be badly written.

I've had many, many loves. I always feel that something wonderful is going to happen. And it always does.

...that is the best-to laugh with someone because you both think the same things are funny.

To marry and have children, that is the common lot of women. Only one woman in a hundred--more, in a thousand, can make for herself a name and position as you have done.

It’s tragic how the lack of imagination so often shapes our defeat.

As days are numbered and life is short, why waste days feeling bad for yourself?

No horrific thing done by a people today is ever justified by what horrible things people have done before.

What can I say about Brian Williams. Nothing, because I work for NBC.

The opportunities of living are diminished in proportion as what are called the "means" are increased.

Here lies the body of my good horse, The General. For years he bore me around the circuit of my practice and all that time he never made a blunder. Would that his master could say the same.

The last thing I'd learn, well into my career, was how to get on, how to say hello, how to get in with the audience.

If you put on weight it's not by chance. You put on weight because you eat compulsively.

I write short stories when a little idea occurs to me, that I know isn't a part of a novel that will stand by itself and should be concentrated.
