I don't wake up drenched in sweat because I haven't been on stage in years.

I wouldn't describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that - the ghosts you chase you never catch.

I don't really have a comprehension of being a public figure.

I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.

A dog that has rabies probably will do things it wouldn't do if it didn't have rabies. But that doesn't change the fact that it has rabies.

I have probably four or five male friends who have a real strong masculine side but some degree of a feminine side, too. They're pretty rare, whereas I think women with a masculine side are much less rare.

I've always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate.
