I'll try anything once.

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?

With…love of wind, there is no surer test of genuine Nature instinct that this. Any body can love sunshine.

Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.

It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well.

Bullies enjoy dark happiness; these are the blank parts that eventually fill their minds with nothingness.

I guess I'm drawn to religion because I can be provocative without harming something people really care about, like their cars.

I've been writing books without ego for a very long time. I feel like it will get what it deserves. Or won't get what it doesn't deserve.

You smell of other peoples blood, ma petite. It was no one you know. -Jean Claude and Anita

He's too nervous to kill himself. He wears his seat belt in a drive-in movie.

You can't argue with popularity. Well, you could, but you'd be wrong!

What may we expect of people who work all day and dance all night? After a while they will be thrown on society nervous, exhausted imbeciles.
