I'm not trying to convey a message, I'm just trying to tell a story.

You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.

A son is a son 'til he gets a wife, but a daughter is a daughter all her life.

Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them.

...love is the sum of our choices, the strength of our commitments, the ties that bind us together.

Maybe the thing to do after you roll the dice-and lose-is simply pick them up and roll them again.

When you’re in love, sometimes you have to swallow your pride, and sometimes you have to keep your pride. It’s a balance. But when the relationship is right, you find the balance.

I think of how each person in a marriage owes it to the other to find individual happiness, even in a shared life. That this is the only way to grow together, instead of apart.

Life's not black-and-white. Sometimes the ends justifies the means.

I don't do the gym and I don't diet. I'm vegetarian but I don't diet.

I'll never die. I'll just explode, right there before your eyes, onstage.

Someone's energy and aura and soul are so much more important - they don't compare to what you have on.

It's a fact of life that how you dress affects how you are perceived and whether your contribution to a meeting is registered as worth listening to.

Does the evolutionary doctrine clash with religious faith? It does not. It is a blunder to mistake the Holy Scriptures for elementary textbooks of astronomy, geology, biology, and anthropology.
