I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.
I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.
I was born into big celebrity. It could only diminish.
I don't want to be a victim.

I was into pain reduction and mind expansion, but what I've ended up with is pain expansion and mind reduction.
It's very good to get through them (drugs) while you're still young and then talk about how great or bad it was for the rest of your life.

You're not famous until you're a Pez dispenser.
