I'm not a perfectionist at all. I find perfectionists boring because the real creative heart is in the mess somewhere.

Savannah is amazing with the town squares and the hanging moss and the French Colonial houses. It's brutally romantic.

'Evil' is quite a blanket term. People aren't the demonic characters we would like them to be sometimes.

I think I’m quite a lazy person, actually. If I’m not careful, I could just stay in bed all day.

I'd really like to get on a Greyhound bus and go backpacking across America.

Nothing is my guiltiest pleasure. I love it. I love doing it. I love planning to do it, I love loafing and pottering and chilling and daydreaming.

I think when you don't know where you stand with someone, they can surprise you in their goodness and their badness, and that makes them human.

Hypocrisy has its own elegant symmetry.

My sons are my proudest 'accomplishments' in life and I get energised seeing their individual personalities develop as they grow up.

Every house is a mad-house at some time or another.

You can make money two ways - make more, or spend less.

I was a rebel and I wanted to do something that nobody else did, and nobody else played the cello. Also, I was also a small kid and I liked the fact that it was big.

I do think there is room at the very top for marginal tax changes.

Faith my homegirl. I just wanna send a shout out to Faith. Hey girl.

You should do something that will make your heart dance once a day. If you can't do that because you're too depressed, then do something that will make somebody else's heart dance.
