I don't get very involved in the L.A. scene. When you do get invited out, you are expected to be on all the time. It's just wearying.

As I get older, I just prefer to knit.

I used to dress up and impersonate our next-door neighbor, Miss Cox. She wore rubber boots, a wool hat, and her nose always dripped.

I don't see myself as a stand-up comic doing cynical, mean-spirited or disrespectful stuff. I'm very aware that I don't like to disrespect people too much.

As you get older, you realize it's work. It's that fine line between love and companionship. But passionate love? I'd love to know how to make that last.

As soon as you find the key to success, somebody always changes the lock.

It's funny - if you impersonate somebody, they have no idea it's them.

I love John Waters. There's stuff in it that's beyond the boundaries of my taste, but his movies have always been like that.

I loved the late Gilda Radner. I love Carol Burnett and Lily Tomlin.

I've never looked ahead very much in my life. I've never had any grand plan from the outset. I had no burning ambition to do what I do

I think serial monogamy says it all.

I've always been shy, but every time that I sing or I perform, when music comes out of me, it is the only thing I can relate to, it's the only thing I can give.

Until my Yoga practice became the great facilitator of all things in my life, the integration of career, purpose and motherhood felt like an unattainable dream.

When I have the time at home, I'll practice three or four hours a day. I have to. And I'm a late starter; I started at age 17 and at age 51 I'm still learning.

Complete happiness can look so much like complete terror that it's hard to tell them apart.

I'm still basically an idealist, which translates into getting real things done to make people's lives better.

As the moths around a taper, As the bees around a rose, As the gnats around a vapour, So the spirits group and close Round about a holy childhood, as if drinking its repose.

Yeah. I know. How stupid is it to French kiss a vampire and not expect sharp teeth?

I know that we do not know enough. We have to continue to learn. We have to be open. And we have to be ready to release our knowledge in order to come to a higher understanding of reality.

In spite of warnings, change rarely occurs until the status quo becomes more painful than change. People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.

When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
