I have gone from being a 21-year-old with wide eyes to a 24-year-old woman. With success comes a lot of responsibility and power.

The heart of a woman will never be found in the arms of a man.

Toting around a full orchestra on tour is very ambitious. I would consider doing a show now and then, like do a show at Radio City or Carnegie Hall with a full orchestra.

Any fool can be happy. It takes a man with real heart to make beauty out of the stuff that makes us weep.

It's only after you upgrade to a better technology that you realize how obsolete the previous one has now become.

I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for.

One finds the truth by making a hypothesis and comparing observations with the hypothesis.

If you want it, leave your excuses behind and come and get it

The politics of courts are so mean that private people would be ashamed to act in the same way; all is trick and finesse, to which the common cause is sacrificed.

No limit, no definition, may restrict the range or depth of the human spirit's passage into its own secrets or the world's.

In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.

Social Security and Medicare represent promises made and we must keep these commitments.
