I don't know that I'd necessarily want to see into the future. I don't want to know what's happening next.

I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

My taste in music and entertainment is quite eclectic.

I'm open to sci-fi, but I was never a diehard fan. I have no idea why it keeps following me. I'm extremely lucky, I guess; it's a lucrative venue.

I think sometimes women who are supposed to be strong are also written as mean and vindictive.

I never worked less than 16-hour days on South Beach.

My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.

My junior high was dreadful. I see a lot of my fellow alumni on America's Most Wanted.

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

My grandfather was a cop in Long Island. I often try to draw on things that I've heard about him.

Don't we all just really try to fake it well?

The best way to achieve great success is to learn from wise people. Use them extensively with love, gratitude, and humility.

I don't suppose you would consider peaceful surrender?

I have never yet figured out what to do about good advice that you get, and that you know right away would help you, but that you cannot follow.

One of the bonuses of being a Christian is the glorious hope that extends out beyond the grave into the glory of God’s tomorrow.

I don't eat a lot of junk food anymore, but I sure remember it. I used to go through boxes of Little Debbies. I liked Star Crunch, and of course those oatmeal pies.

I think that it is impossible to think of a threat to social justice greater than what we are doing to the earth's atmosphere at the moment.

You're 'wealthy' if you don't worry

But thought is one thing, the deed is another, and the image of the deed still another: the wheel of causality does not roll between them.

I don't give up because I don't give up. I don't believe in it.

Like cats' eyes gleaming in the gloom, the precious diamonds rest.
