You wake up one day and you realize that all these years have gone by and I have this mortgage and I have this couch and I have this life and... is this going to be my prison?
Not one day of my mother's adult life passed without some critical demand on her maternal role, without some urgent response from her.
I'm hoping one day to open my own shelter. I would be the person with the three-legged dog. I just love animals more than people; I really do.
I have to say, I do love the Ovation guitars. If I had one guitar to play, it would be that one, and it's got nothing to do with having my name on it. I absolutely rely on it.
I started as a writer for magazines, and soon they asked me to illustrate my stories. I started from the bottom of the bottom. And I climbed the stairs, one by one.
I have now concentrated all my prayers into one, and that one prayer is this, that I may die to self, and live wholly to Him.
To my mind, one does not put oneself in place of the past; one only adds a new link.
But one sets of grandparents lived on Davidson Avenue in the Bronx and one lived in Manhattan and I had an aunt and uncle in Queens, so in my heart I was a New Yorker.
I'm always amazed at the way some actors' behaviour is truly disgusting. That's one thing that will never happen on one of my sets if I ever direct.
The 50 greatest players don't matter when you're in the Hall of Fame. We all know that I was not one of the 50 greatest, I was one of the 25 greatest - in my mind.
Ironically, if you look at Dianne Feinstein's profile and you look at my profile, I'm the 99 percent. Dianne Feinstein's the one percent. She appeals to one percent.
I like to watch the Fox News Network. I like 'Nightline.' I like to watch 'The Sopranos,' of course. That is one of my favorite shows. 'Entourage' is another one. I like 'The Shield.'
You know, I'm a fan of Laurie Anderson. One of my favorite records is 'The Ugly One With the Jewels,' a spoken-word record. It's an extraordinary album.
You know, I had a couple hundred jumps in my career, and I made most of them, but the ones they show over and over are the ones when I crashed.
I looked below and saw my people there, and all were well and happy except one, and he was lying like the dead - and that one was myself.
I definitely don't like anyone messing with my friends or loved ones. I'm quick to step up to the plate if there's a problem.
No one could understand the bond between me and my brother. I struggled to understand the forces that drove his soul in one direction and mine in another.
Ideas? My head is full of them, one after the other, but they serve no purpose there. They must be put down on paper, one after the other.
Even during my father's 1984 gubernatorial campaign, it was, 'Do you want to grow up and be governor one day?' 'No. I am four.'
One day, I shall explode like an artillery shell and all my bits will be found on the writing table.
One of my life's goals is to help women see things on a UTERUS level and not judge one another by the melanin content of their skin!
