Sometimes, when I wake up, my soul is in another city!

While I was growing up, I believed I could do anything I could think of. So the challenge was always to keep thinking - to get to where I wanted to be and then to think of somewhere else to go.

Most people are walking around the city like corpses; they aren't alive enough to notice the trash. They come from other places and they see it as a big garbage dump. Do you want to live and work in a garbage dump? I don't. That's partly because I grew up in the most pristine environment possible - Hawaii, where it is sacrilege to leave your garbage on the ground.

The outside world doesn't have a lot to offer. You have to make your own heaven in your own home.

If I don't feel right about what I'm in, I don't feel right about anything.

It is true that in this culture, they throw you out when you get older. I see it all the time, especially in my business. At my age, you're playing somebody's mother - and there aren't even a lot of those roles!

If you pick up a ukulele, it will make you unbelievably happy.
