I think belief is like having the first Microsoft Windows - it's so rudimentary, in the human brainwork, it's so obviously a sham.

I loved looking at myself when I was very photogenic, at the very beginning of my career.

It's amazing the clarity that comes with psychotic jealousy.

To give and not expect anything in return, that is what lies at the heart of love.

I seem to have been everywhere in the last 30 years, maybe not in the epicenter but flying around the periphery of extraordinary events and equally extraordinary people.

That religion and that nation will be blotted out of the face of the earth which pins its faith on injustice, untruth or violence.

I watch the PGA, not the LPGA. I like the players on the PGA better.

You have not seen my face go across the screen for any off the field problems, period.
