I celebrate three holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Telluride.

I say if you're not obsessing about something, you might not be into it quite enough.

Kill your television. Throw it out the darn window. Watch PBS in a bar.

If you want to be happy, you listen to the music; if you want to be sad, you listen to the words.

If I was any happier, you'd think I was on crack.

The minute you make a record because you think somebody's going to play it on the radio is the minute you ought to quit.

I was trained completely by ear. And it was actually diving into the Bach that led me to get - there was like a Mel Bay "Teach Yourself How To Sight Read..."

My thesis statement would be—Bach didn't write Baroque music. He wrote great music.

It was kind of sort of the heavens opened up and I realized that Bach, at least, you know - out of all the classical music - needs to be a big part of my life.

I think people react so strongly to hearing the human voice, you can't give them too much of it or else they want it all the time.

The real question is, do you root for the fox in that song? Or are you horrified that the goose and the duck are being dragged off to their death, which is described in detail?

Love holds the key to every heart.

Never memorize what you can look up in a book.

I found my prince - he's a hockey player and we met at an NHL event, the last place I'd ever expect to meet someone, but there he was.

Try to have a more expanded sense of that which you are. Feel that you are eternity. There's only goodness. There's only light.

Ah, there’s the governess voice. All stern and disapproving. It makes me feel like a naughty schoolboy.

The Dalmatian breed of dog has many primitive characteristics.

In adding up her assets, the ambitious lady calculated the worth of her beautiful body as coldly as everything else.

The fuses had been lit and could not be extinguished. All that remained was to observe the speed of the spark, and the size of the explosions.

A faint smile that made every tiny hair on her body rise in quivering attention. "How fast can you run?" A wolf's question.

Writing is seduction.
