I was this flat-chested, big-footed, lanky thing.

Standing still is the fastest way of moving backwards in a rapidly changing world.

I'm a total Democrat. I'm anti-Republican. And it's only fair that you know it... I'm liberal. The L word!

How in hell can you handle love without turning your life upside down? That's what love does, it changes everything.

My life has had meaning, with the friendships full and valuable and essential to me. My children, Steve, Leslie, and Sam, are all different-all first-rate human beings with high standards-whom I completely and unequivocally adore-don't always agree with-but always admire and respect. They all have wit and a sense of humor and, thank God, I have hung on to mine.

I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.

Isn't hope an incredible, a wonderfully demented thing?
