And remember, this was a president (George W. Bush) who was selected by the Supreme Court rather than the people.

To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good.

I don't like the word 'superstar'. It has ridiculous implications. These words - star, stupor, superstar, stupid star - they're misleading. It's a myth.

I don't enjoy public performances and being up on a stage. I don't enjoy the glamour. Like tonight, I am up on stage and my feet hurt.

I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.

If I hear a record once, I usually never listen to it again. I rarely listen to music - unless it's Billie Holiday.

I don't care what you say about me. Just be sure to spell my name wrong.
