If I was still at school, I'd be looking at Britney Spears and dying to be her.

My mother has never been involved in my professional life. I am very close to my mother but we keep it on a mother-daughter basis and not a work-related basis.

I'm just passionately in love with my kids.

Disco is just pop music you can dance to.

When I was working with David Cassidy at the Rio, I made an album of updated versions of some 1970s disco tunes. I had a blast.

I used to think I had to stay frozen in time. No amount of Botox will keep up.

When you're single and in your 20s, you throw on a pair of jeans and look fabulous.

Id love to a duet with Luther Vandross.

We are supposed to enjoy the good stuff now, while we can, with the people we love. Life has a funny way of teaching us that lesson over and over again.

I have the life of Riley. I take my kids to school, do a bit of work in the afternoon, pick my kids up, microwave a meal, hang out with my kids, and work for a couple of hours.

Any time I have to get on a plane and leave my kids for a few days, it's kind of tortuous.

Always be positive, enjoy the music of rain on a rainy day.

Man's most important achievement is not about standing up and start walking but, standing up to speak the truth.

And then, just as quickly, the clouds returned, leaving us to walk by faith, not by sight.

The best defense against the terror of existence are the homely comforts of love, work, and family life, which connect us to a world that is independent of our wishes yet responsive to our needs.

The United States ranks 14th in the world in education. Even if we subtract Sarah Palin's test scores, it only bumps us to third. Damn you, Finland!

The things you see are real, but they are not a complete seeing - Samsara.

It is cynicism and fear that freeze life; it is faith that thaws it out, releases it, sets it free.

Forget about what you used to do. Don't make those same mistakes again. Everybody says, "Oh the good old days" - the good old days are right this second! This moment controls the next moment.

I train for one-and-a-half hours every day in order to keep my energy level high.

I think I want to move forward. I want to move to Brooklyn and find a business Italian guy to take care of me.
