Eighteenth century American furniture and the design of the architects Greene and Greene are my special love.

I am also very proud to be a liberal. Why is that so terrible these days? The liberals were liberatorsthey fought slavery, fought for women to have the right to vote, fought against Hitler, Stalin, fought to end segregation, fought to end apartheid. Liberals put an end to child labor and they gave us the five day work week! What's to be ashamed of?

A human being is only interesting if he's in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it. You have got to discover you, what you do, and trust it.

My mother never really thought I could become anything.

I must have got my detailed, obsessive streak from my father, who was an English teacher, because my mother wasn't like me at all.

It is every woman's dream to be some man's dream woman.

I was a personality before I became a person.
