Here's my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but keep after them until they're fair with you.

I've been lucky enough to live through all the things that are supposed to give meaning to our lives, like parenting, grandparenting, art, celebrity. All these things you expect meaning to come from, and sometimes it comes when you're not expecting it.

You wouldn't want to be called a sell-out by selling a product. Selling out was frowned on, whereas now you can major in it at business school.

Almost everybody that's well-known gets tagged with a nickname.

Whenever you wonder about yourself, look up at the stars swirling around in the heavens and just realize how tiny and puny they are. They're supposed to be gigantic explosions and they're just these insignificant little dots. If you step back from things far enough you realize how important and powerful you are.

War is war and Hell is hell, and if you ask me, War is a lot worse.

I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.
