Romance is an illusion. Well, romance is not a complete illusion, but it's ephemeral. It does not last.

I've always said that people have unrealistic expectations.

I celebrate everyone's religious holidays. if it's good enough for the righteous, it's good enough for the self-righteous, I always say.

I have a ball - and it keeps my heart rate up. I get to wear fabulous clothes. I get to make people laugh. That's my core business, and that's where I'll always return.

It's important that you all agree on what the parameters are and what you can accomplish - and not get pissed off or beat yourself up for what you can't accomplish.

I always look old when I work because I get so upset and tense that my face wrinkles up like a prune, I can't stop it.

You can't just have a clean public space - you also have to have people willing to use it, and something that will draw them in.
