I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

My taste in music and entertainment is quite eclectic.

I'm open to sci-fi, but I was never a diehard fan. I have no idea why it keeps following me. I'm extremely lucky, I guess; it's a lucrative venue.

I think sometimes women who are supposed to be strong are also written as mean and vindictive.

I never worked less than 16-hour days on South Beach.

My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.

My junior high was dreadful. I see a lot of my fellow alumni on America's Most Wanted.

My grandfather was a cop in Long Island. I often try to draw on things that I've heard about him.

Don't we all just really try to fake it well?

I am so happy to be on a show with writing I wanted to participate in.

If we forget our story we were doomed to repeat it

We care about the dead. We try with our lives to honor theirs. That’s how we make our lives meaningful, and how we make their lives meaningful, too.

I broke my ankle ten years ago so high heels are not an option unless I'm literally going door to door for a function.

In our democracy we must have a partnership of labor, of business and of government.

Most of the utopian community ideas actually are religious. They're based more on the idea of the monastery than the commune.

It's impossible to satisfy everyone, and I suggest we all stop trying.

Torture doesn't work.

Maybe, the hope said. Maybe.

I love to be surprised.

They're not willing to admit that I've also shed blood and tears and often paid dearly for my success. This makes me feel extremely sad.
