Honey, I can smell the scent of another woman from 500 paces.

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.

My daughter very independent. But if she's upset about something, she will absolutely let me know. She's great - a real tough cookie.

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.

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.

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.

A lot of people have no access to beauty. When I was growing up, my mother had only a few pretty things to look at.
