It's [motherhood] the biggest on-the-job- training program in existence today.

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

Good kids are like sunsets. We take them for granted.

You become about as exciting as your food blender. The kids come in, look you in the eye, and ask if anybody's home.

It is my theory you can't get rid of fat. All you can do is move it around, like furniture.

I never go to a college reunion that I don't come away feeling sorry for all those paunchy, balding jocks trying to hang onto youth. I feel sorry for the men, too.

. . . but mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute - look at it and really see it - live it - and never give it back.
