“I wouldn’t have believed it. I still barely do, truthfully. I’m so continually fortunate that I keep coming across these smart, interesting, creative people who pick me. It’s just stupendous.”

Show me a mall, and I’m happy.

I’m a regular person with an extraordinary job.

Look beyond the paint. Let us try to open our minds to a new idea.

Show me a person who doesn’t like to laugh and I’ll show you a person with a toe tag.

The kind of energy I attract is very calm.

I’m too tall to be a girl, I never had enough dresses to be a lady, I wouldn’t call myself a woman. I’d say I’m somewhere between a chick and a broad.

An Oscar is a total honor. It’s thrilling, and on the one hand, it means a lot of things, and on the other hand, it doesn’t really mean anything. It’s a moment in time.

Happiness isn’t happiness unless there’s a violin-playing goat.

Life is so precious. Please, please, let’s love one another, live each day, reach out to each other, be kind to each other. Peace be with you. God is great.

When I was a child I had a crush on Abraham Lincoln. Why I would choose to reveal this, I know not.

The key to beauty is always to be looking at someone who loves you, really.

I want my kids to know when I’m pissed, when I’m happy and when I’m confounded.

A fever is an expression of inner rage.

I only put clothes on so that I’m not naked when I go out shopping.

People love scandal; people love drama. They love stripping away the layers to see what’s really in there, and they’ll do anything – as well as make it up – to get it.

I’m just an ordinary person who has an extraordinary job.

Satire is, more than those he brands, to blame; He hides behind a magisterial air He own offences, and strips others’ bare.

I watch her blond head until it disappears around the bend, and I feel bare, like there’s nothing left to protect me against pain. Her absence stings worst of all.

The beloved fears and hates the lover, and with the best of reasons. For the lover is forever trying to strip bare his beloved.

It is not a tool, although it can act like many tools. It is the first metamedium, and as such it has degrees of freedom for representation and expression never before encountered and as yet barely investigated.

What love lays bare in me is energy.

As if some dreadful fate would overcome us if we were to face the pure light of truth and lay bare our fearful clinging to illusion.

And the woman who could win the respect of man was often the woman who could knock him down with her bare fists and sit on him until he yelled for help.

Opportunity lives at the intersection of what people need tomorrow and can be just barely built today.
