I like to stay home a lot. I like to do other things, too, like decorate.

I love things that are indescribable, like the taste of an avocado or the smell of a gardenia.

Success to me is having ten honeydew melons and eating only the top half of each slice.

I was a personality before I became a person - I am simple, complex, generous, selfish, unattractive, beautiful, lazy and driven.

You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.

The idea of a liberal media bias is simply a myth. If only it were true, we might have a more humane, open-minded, and ultimately effective public debate on the issues facing the country.

I don't like the word 'superstar'. It has ridiculous implications. These words - star, stupor, superstar, stupid star - they're misleading. It's a myth.

Oh God, don't envy me, I have my own pains.

When they tried me out as a host on TV, I found that I just couldn't be that gregarious person. I was stranger than that.

Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.

Doubt can motivate you, so don't be afraid of it. Confidence and doubt are at two ends of the scale, and you need both. They balance each other out.

There is a means to every end. A root to any cause. Sometimes the root is more evil than any cause, though it's the cause that is usually most vilified.

Why any one place should forever hold enchantment for the reason you are born there is a mystery.

Time spent in prayer is never wasted.

My greatest challenge is not what's happening at the moment, my greatest challenge was knocking Liverpool right off their f*****g perch. And you can print that.

Stand tall, smile bright, and let 'em wonder what secret's making you laugh.

Being more aware creates responsibility. What does responsibility mean? It means the ability to respond. The more conscious you are in your ability to respond, the more creative you'll be.

You can go out and get anything you want if you work hard enough for it and believe in yourself.

I'm great at a deathbed. I've never given tranquillisers or psychiatric medicine. I've given love and fun and creativity and passion and hope, and these things ease suffering.

I do what I do because I love it.
