There are a couple of things that we did not get to do last season [of Mary and Jane]. There was one that we had written and then we had to excise it and still have not gone back to it.

It is not like every episode [of "Mary and Jane"] people are sitting around getting high.

There are more stakes [in Mary and Jane], which is always good.

It is not an easy thing to do [found the tone right away].

We both [wuth Harry Elfont] had those sort of misfit childhoods.

I was trying to think of a word that was not offensive. Yeah, Harry [Elfont] is right - it is kind of a different MTV for sure.

To be fair, that MTV was very cooperative with the film [ "Josie and the Pussycats" ], and this MTV has been very cooperative. I actually didn't even think about it until you said it.

Whatever ought to be, can be.

The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.

Elbows are never put on the table while one is eating.

When people campaign for positions, they promise people all kinds of things.

I received my parents' permission and went into the Navy on June 3, 1941.

I was not allowed to talk about being adopted when growing up. I walked around feeling like I was going to explode.

I don't like expectations.

The only reason you can love God or anybody else is because God first loved you. And he showed that love by sending Jesus Christ to Earth to die for you.

No one sits on the stoop when she's a kid and thinks, 'I want to be a biographer when I grow up,'

Out of two evils, the less is always to be chosen.
