I'm good at disguising my feelings.

I was considered the black sheep of the family, neighbours didn't want their kids playing with me.

It's simple. Eat well, exercise and get lots of sleep but make sure you indulge occasionally. At my age , I think , what the hell , and eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut !

I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker.... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.

Somewhere along the line I made the switch and was able to look at the bright side rather than the dark sida all the time. Now I look at everything I have and think how lucky I am.

You know, the more you can meet people from different walks of life, the better it is for you. I think the more you can create situations and experiences that give you new perspective, the better.

For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.

I find the less you focus on your flaws, the better off you are. Be yourself and be glad of who you are.

Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.

People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.

Be kind to your future self, and your future will be kind to you.

Sometimes, Miss Jarmond, it's not easy to bring back the past. There are unpleasant surprises. The truth is harder than ignorance

I think there is a new awareness in this 21st century that design is as important to where and how we live as it is for museums, concert halls and civic buildings.

Have confidence in your ideas before they even exist.

We have a revolutionary history to honor and uphold. Which was what Nelson Mandela did. He reminded us of that which we need to be reminded, over and over again, about our own best selves.

I never yet feared those men who set a place apart in the middle of their cities where they gather to cheat one another and swear oaths which they break.

I've got feathers in my hair, I get down to beat poetry.

True charity requires courage: Let us overcome the fear of getting our hands dirty so as to help those in need.

You are the architect of your personal experience.

More than anything else, I believe it's our decisions, not the conditions of our lives that determine our destiny.
