I'd quite like to have one place where I stay put. And I don't like living in cities all the time. In order to have ideas, you have to have some peace and quiet.

I've been really upset sometimes when I've been misquoted. And it's the one thing they use in big print. Or it's taken out of context. Thoughts are fluid and words are sticky. That's the thing.

I think now it's a very odd time in politics. It should be mostly about good governing. We need a government, not politics. Because there's too much politics. Of course there should be debate. But there seems to be so much pettiness and not enough good faith. It is civilized to agree to disagree and this idea is slowly disintegrating. The great statesmen of the past knew this, and I think it helps drive civilization.

My basic mathematics is rather weak, so when some of the theories are broken into equations, I get rather lost.

Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.

I don't dress for effect, and I think that it never works out when someone does.

I know sometimes I can come off like a lonely spinster in a tower. That's not me at all.
