I grew up pretty much entertaining myself. So I know what its like to be in a room by myself and having fun with something.
When people meet me, and I'm generally pretty sociable, and I meet some definition of normal, they're almost surprised. And simultaneously disappointed.
I consider myself a moderate Republican. I have very, very moderate social views, and I'm pretty strong on, on defense matters.
There's not a lot of conversation going on in my world about softening my image. I'm pretty much who I am.
I think Helen of Troy must have been pretty hot. She got two countries going crazy for 10 years over her.
When I was a teenager, I was really into hair; I dyed it different colours and had loads of haircuts. I shaved my head when I was 17 - it was pretty radical!
The world is not ideal, and the only weapon we can give our children is information. Information which is not pretty, but honest.
Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end.
There's a lot of talent in South Central L.A., in Compton and Long Beach and Watts, and the city north of Pico pretty much sits back and waits for that talent to emerge and then steps in.
Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin, but he's standing up for what he believes in and that seems pretty damned American to me.
I've always been aware of having feelings that were pretty intense at times. I imagine most people have had that, or they wouldn't be human.
My serve and my forehand I pretty much always had, but my backhand was a made backhand. I worked on it for years.
It's more fun to look at an old picture of me than it is to look at a new one sometimes. Although, I still wear a dress pretty well.
To drive though the streets of Manhattan to sign a record deal was like a movie. It was crazy - pretty hard to put into words.
I always wanted to be a Muppet. So when 'Sesame Street' approached me to guest star, I thought: 'I'm going to be on this!' It's pretty incredible stuff.
I'm really low maintenance for a girl. I pretty much shower, attempt to fix my hair, throw on some mineral make up, and go.
I attended a very small junior high and specially in the end that became a disaster. The principal was pretty senile and a drunk, so the children more or less runned the school.
Accepting that the world is full of uncertainty and ambiguity does not and should not stop people from being pretty sure about a lot of things.
The idea of writer as sage is pretty much dead today. I would certainly feel very uncomfortable in the role.
No one in the group was really growing up besides me, which is pretty weird 'cause there was no one in that group more self-destructive than I was.
I saw I could rhyme words. It came simply to me. But I wrote some pretty horrible songs that I still have on tape.
