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.

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

The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart.

Be brave enough to live creatively . . . what you'll discover will be wonderful: yourself.

I'm in the real world, some people try to steal from me, and I stop them, frequently, take them to court. I love a good lawsuit. It's fun.

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.
