I have to watch out for being lazy.

Rebellion is the only thing that keeps you alive!

Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.

I think it's a great shame that America stopped being a republic and became an empire.

I was anorexic in the 60s and 70s, although it wasn't called anorexia then. I thought people would be nicer to me if I looked very small and delicate, so food wasn't high on my agenda. But it is now.

My father belonged to a commune, and the food was ghastly. My idea of food hell is the salad cream they'd pour all over bits of lettuce, cucumber and tomato. It was just disgusting.

I serve black tea, which I call Froggy tea. And I have green teas and all sorts of nice teas. I'm serving tea all the time.

A President must call on many persons--some to man the ramparts and to watch the far away, distant posts; others to lead us in science, medicine, education and social progress here at home.

I am terribly clumsy, so there is a plethora of walking into lamp-posts, falling over, dropping things, and ruining sofas.

Whoever wishes to hold the fortress of contemplation must first of all train in the camp of action.
