When 'Desperate Housewives' ends, I think my girls will be about the kindergarten age. I will be so happy to be there for them through that huge transition.

I walk around with a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen all the time.

With the red hair, you get the white skin; it's a package deal. The cons are that you never look particularly attractive on the beach. The pros are in a softly lit room, you look pretty.

I'll tell you my routine - it's really exciting. I feed, I burp, I change diapers, I pump. And then I have a tiny window of time to myself.

What I lack in energy, I have in wisdom.

I have good genes in my family, so we'll see just how long I'll be around.

They love me like a pack of wolves.Ernest

Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.

Literally from the moment I came in the door of MIT, it was very clear that a highly productive 40-year partnership between U.S. research universities and the federal government was badly eroding.

Touring with Brian May was like a dream come true that happened early in my career. He inspired me with the way he harmonized and layered his guitar sounds.

I am a weapon of massive consumption

Far more quickly than reason and logic, irony can penetrate rage and puncture self-pity.
