My forties are the best time I have ever gone through.

Look, sweetheart, I can drink you under any goddamn table you want, so don't worry about me.

I've never thought of my jewelry as trophies. I'm here to take care of it and to love it, for we are only temporary custodians of beauty.

Big girls need big diamonds.

There's still so much more to do. I can't sit back and be complacent, and none of us should be. I get around now in a wheelchair, but I get around.

A "name" no longer carries a film. People used to go to the cinema to see a "John Wayne film." And you don't have that thing happening now except in the rock world, which has taken the event out of movies.

I used to think that drinking would help my shyness, but all it did was exaggerate all the negative qualities.
