I'm fat and proud of it. If someone asks me how my diet is going, I say 'Fine - how was your lobotomy?'

I actually get more conservative when I'm in Vegas.

I was not raised a Zionist, but a socialist, as were most Jews before the Holocaust.

I actually regard Facebook as a huge bore, but I cannot refrain from participating in it. I guess I crave the feeling of hope it gives me to think that today will be different from yesterday, that I will find an interesting comment or poke or video, and on the extremely rare occasion when that happens, I am just thrilled.

I used to think that communing with nature was a healing, positive thing. Now, I think I'd like to commune with other things - like room service and temperature control.

I have five kids from three marriages. I come from a trailer park. My sister and brother are both gay. I have multiple personalities.

Without democracy in our homes, we will never have it in the world.
