What I do when I write is I just write the way I would tell it, so it comes out just exactly the way I would talk to you.

If you want to know the feeling [of labor pain], just take your bottom lip and pull it over your head.

My grandmother and I followed my mother here, to a house a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. We would hang out behind the ropes and look at the movie stars arriving at the premieres.

I was once asked to do my Tarzan yell at Bergdorf Goodman, and a guard burst in with a gun! Now I only do it under controlled circumstances.

I don't eat much meat, fish, or poultry.

I don't remember a time when I wasn't waiting for a scab either to grow or to fall off my knee.

Before you go to bed, write down three 'gratefuls' for the day and three 'did wells' (they can even include something as simple as doing the laundry)-the results can be amazing!
