I'm loud and I'm vulgar, and I wear the pants in the house because somebody's got to, but I am not a monster. I'm not.

I haven't read any of the autobiographies about me.

No matter what happens, I'm loud, noisy, earthy and ready for much more living.

I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.

I have never felt more alive than when I watched my children delight in something, never more alive than when I have watched a great artist perform, and never richer than when I have scored a big check to fight AIDS.

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.

Big girls need big diamonds.
