My son has two loving parents and an extended family, whether it's cousins or stepmothers or boyfriends. My son is surrounded by love.

I'm not sure anyone - and I could be wrong in this - grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom.

All of a sudden, you have this newborn you have no training for. It's frightening.

Are you trying to manipulate me? It's working.

I'm not one of those people who thinks they simply deserve success. I have the drive to work.

I miss the noise in New York: the sound of taxis and that constant buzz the city has.

I have become that mother I used to dread.

Everyone says, 'You give birth, you go home, and you have this amazing baby and it's just beautiful'. And I walked in and I just started sobbing.

There's not a second I regret having a child on my own.

But now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world.

I liked things better when I didn't understand them.

The 1960s was a heroic age in the history of the art of communication - the audacious movers and shakers of those times bear no resemblance to the cast of characters in 'Mad Men.'

I paid too heavy a price for perestroika.

Public opinion is the pennant on a nation's mast which shows the politician and the editor how to trim the sails.

I did. I did see Bigfoot when I was a kid and I still believe it to this day. I saw a big furry man outside my window. It's not funny! It was real.

Anything we want to do, we can do. If we can dream it, it can be done.

Liberals and conservatives are looking for entirely different things. Their attitudes toward romance and how they court are really dramatically different. There's almost no overlap.

Play is kids' work in that it is a form of experiential learning that contributes directly to a person's ability to handle failure, to work in teams, and to take risks.

A girl should never disguise the fact that she's a girl. It's a lot easier to convince a man that you're a fascinating female if you look the part.
