The biggest thing I've learned is to smash my own spiders and get on with my day. There will be another!

The days, months, and years eventually reveal, like a Polaroid, a clear picture of how significant events and decisions ultimately shape our lives.

There are two types of people: The ones who give you 50 reasons it can't be done ... and the ones who just do it.

Be crazy. Be stupid. Be silly. Be weird. Be whatever. Because life is too short to be anything but happy

I love music. For me, music is morning coffee. It's mood medicine. It's pure magic. A good song is like a good meal-I just want to inhale it and then share a bite with someone else.

Tone is often the most important part of a conversation - and listening is so much more important than what you say.

I'm a disorganized mess. My purse is gross: I once found a shoulder pad, string cheese, and a Christmas ornament in it!

When my shoes are killing me, I take a maxi pad and put it in the bottom of my shoe. It is better than any Dr. Scholl's insert. That fashion tip has saved me through some long nights.

I've had weight issues all my life. I've been on all the diets: Atkins, liquid protein, Scarsdale diet. Now I go to the gym often. I'm always on the StairMaster, and I do weights.

And that's why, gentleman, if your little girl doesn't come up to scratch, it will be our painful duty to cut all your throats. Merely in a way of business, as you might say, and no offense, I hope.

Once a citizen receives a direct payment from the state, the state has purchased their complicity

Being married is like having somebody permanently in your corner. It feels limitless, not limited.

One of the reasons that I really don't mind that people are selling Linux commercially is exactly because it does make me feel good that people use the product.

Life happens, and I write about it wherever I am.
