I was a short order cook in a pool hall in college. So I am the fastest cook in the world.

To really achieve any level of greatness, you have to be willing to say yes no matter who says no, and to say no no matter who says yes.

I've never been willing to lie about my age. Why on earth would I want to tell people I'm 35, which I'm not, and have them say, 'Oh that's nice,' when I could tell them I'm 47, which I am, and have them look at me and go, 'Whoa!'. I'm not afraid of aging. I stopped being afraid of life a long time ago.

When you become famous you get to torture a higher class of man than before.

Believe me, when people say, 'We want to pay you X-million to do this movie,' I won't be the girl who hangs back saying, 'Oh, I really don't deserve it,' I'll be, 'Un-hunh, hand it right over.'

I've fallen in love with my horse. It's a safer bet. We all know from my illustrious past that I should be sticking to men with four legs.

I'm not trying to make myself look like a girl because I'm not a girl anymore. I'm very happy about being a grown woman.
