I'm an adaptable nomad. I love Paris, I've been living in Los Angeles and New York since 1990. I love London, too. My roots are inside of me.

I don't want to go to the Bahamas on holiday. I hate islands. I want to go to Brittany, where it's cold and raining, and there's nothing fancy about it.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they're afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won't do that.

You can never replace anyone because everyone is made up of such beautiful specific details.

Curiosity is a youthful beauty. Connected to joy and slipping around old beliefs, it urges us to investigate rather than assume.

Is there a point at which we hit a tipping point and all of this economic, cultural and moral trouble sends us into a death spiral we can't get out of?

There were statistically more women than men on the planet. Why should every major religion have been founded by men and propagated by men?

I'm blessed with very fast memorization skills, so I don't have to read it too far in advance.

If you like my music, great, and if you don't, whatever. I'm going to keep making it either way.

What's the difference between a hockey mom and a mass turkey-murdering machine? Looks like about 15 feet.

The church is never a place to show off. Do your good deeds quietly. Serve; don't seek to be seen

Press plays "gotcha"; limit press briefings.

Disillusions all come from within ... from the failure of some dear and secret hope. The world makes no promises; we only dream it does; and when we wake, we cry!

Anything that has to do with money, I want to be in that business.
