“I haven’t left my house in days. I watch the news channels incessantly. All the news stories are about the election; all the commercials are Viagra and Cialis. Election, erection, election, erection! Either way we’re screwed!”

A lot of people have no access to beauty. When I was growing up, my mother had only a few pretty things to look at.

Through books and photographs, I saw a world that was not my own – and I realized that there was another world. That’s why I’m concerned about education, because it helps our children see other worlds.

It’s a different world now: Stars come and go quickly, and there are so many of them. I read a statistic that all the record companies combined used to put out around 3,000 albums in a year. Now they put out something like 30,000!

If only I’d known my differentness would be an asset, then my earlier life would have been much easier.

GOD is watching us, from a Distance.

Three elections later, the president’s party has lost 70 House seats and 14 Senate seats. The job of Republicans now is to govern with the confidence that elections do have consequences, promptly passing the conservative reform the voters have demanded.

The [film] industry is an ecosystem that’s sick.

All I’ve ever done is try to entertain my way through a life that often has a huge amount of heaviness in it.

I always try to balance the light with the heavy – a few tears of human spirit in with the sequins and the fringes.

When my daughter was younger we showed her all the great musicals. And the great dramas and great comedies, and the one that she took to the most was Some Like It Hot.

Life is not fair. And you have to choose your battles, because there are some that you cannot win. If you’re passionate about something, then you should pick up your flag and run with it.

We’ve been staying in hotels most of the way, though I will say some hotels have declined to take us because we’re just having too much fun.

Rap is poetry set to music. But to me it’s like a jackhammer.

I made a lot of people laugh, made a lot of people cry in a good way, brought a lot of joy to people, picked up a lot of garbage. And in all those years, I saw a lot. I went to foreign lands. I met interesting people. And I got it!

I don’t need anyone to write me a show in my style, I would like to do a show in a style that wasn’t my style, because that’s the only way I can grow up and grow out.

I married a German. Every night I dress up as Poland and he invades me.

It’s the bane of both the news and sports businesses, both electronic and print.

The news movement conservatives that are just laying out, slathering out the disinformation and the lies, as I discuss in my book, ‘Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.’

That’s bad news for everyone else – and for our democracy itself.

If anybody reads an Indian newspaper, all these things are obvious, and so I am not breaking news. All I am doing is representing my community as it actually is.

My mother listened to all the news from the camp during the strike.

It’s a challenge that we also feel more than any other time because it’s in the news and social media. It’s in our families.

False history gets made all day, any day, the truth of the new is never on the news.
