For a few months when I was about 17, I smoked a small cigar because I thought it looked cool and it would get me the girls. It didn't.

I honestly believe that TV generally is obsessed with the ratings battle to the point of cutting its own throat.

I was disappointed not to be able to interview Mr. Clinton. I met him two years ago. I was looking forward to talking with him about issues from Africa to terrorism.

Over the last two years, I have been able to comb through The Prince's archives. I have been free to read his journals, diaries and many thousands of the letters.

I'm not certain that the BBC can claim to be making a wide enough range of distinctive programmes to make the case convincingly.

I hate flying. My stomach churns at the mere thought of it.

A woman that you find different or strange, or whom you may envy or covet is deemed by you all to be a witch! Anything that you do not understand, you deem witchcraft!

You can push your local communities to adopt more sustainable sources of energy and environmentally-friendly practices.

Patriarchy has no gender.

In books, as in life, there are no second chances. On second thought: its the next work, still to be written, that offers the second chance.

Check up each week on the progress you are making. Ask yourself what mistakes you have made, what improvement, what lessons you have learned for the future.

I honestly, purposely have not gone to therapy because I know some crazy stuff's going to be dragged up and, you know, I'll be like, 'Wait, what?'

Days, pale slices between nights, they blend, not exactly alike, transparencies so lightly tinted that only stacked all together do they darken to a fatal shade.

My school is attended by near three hundred scholars.

One time I got fan mail that was from Africa. It's really neat.
