As a child, I spent a lot of time alone. I used to sit in my closet with one cracker. I'd pretend that I was on the North Pole freezing to death, and I had to somehow survive on this one tiny cracker.
My father would not pay for me to study anything but engineering or math in college.
I feel like I'm too old to just have sex. I mean, I want to have sex, but with somebody who really loves me.
I put a limited time on the blues. I say, 'I allowed myself to be blue for four hours, and now I'm going to stop.'
I think I'm a kind of a person who works hard at whatever I do, literally from being a waitress to being on television. I always try to give 110 percent to whatever it is I'm doing.
Beauty is a combination of qualities. I don't think one can deny that certain people or things feel aesthetically pleasing. But without an equally pleasing being behind that form, there is no beauty there.
Acceptance is different than apathy. It is important to strive to be your best self, your healthiest, most productive, joyful self. But that is going to be a different answer to everyone.
I don't want to be alone my whole life. It is much more fun to share what you have than to have it to yourself. And it isn't like I don't have love in my life. I have a lot of friends who love me and who I love.
When you look in the mirror, your 'appearance,' that outer you, is what you see first.
I'm the breadwinner. I kill the spiders. Actually I don't kill them. I put them in a plastic bag and take them outside. I take out the trash cans. I change the light bulbs. I lug the 50 lbs. suitcases down the stairs.
I'm glad you could join me tonight to celebrate the efforts of this community of artists and volunteers. I like to think we're all here because we believe in the value of art in our lives, and especially in our children's lives.
I didn't intend to talk about this with you. But it is something that's been surfacing with me for the past three years. This is something I've tried to hide my whole life.
