If I've got the right songs, I can weave a spell over everyone.

I have loved deeply. I have lost intensely. I will never love again. I get that love by people who care for me.

I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.

When the king gets depressed, he doesn't call for his wife. He doesn't call for the cook. He calls for the court jester.

I could be hit by a Sara Lee truck tomorrow. Which is not a bad way of going: 'Richard Simmons Found in a Freeway in Pound Cake and Fudge, With a Smile on His Face.' Let's face it. We don't know anything.

All of a sudden, I'm thinking that if I keep eating the way I'm eating, I'm not going to live long and I'm going to die. Having those thoughts as a young person can be very haunting.

Sleep is critical to me ... at least eight or nine hours a night. I start to slow down my body and my mind at least 30 minutes before I get into bed. I don't watch any disturbing or invigorating TV at night.
