Like every aspect of cancer I've weathered thus far, today's experience was not at all demoralizing, expensive or humiliating. No, it was just plain fun.

Personally, I think tying garbage bags around your head and hands is overkill.

I had glow in the dark bands made up and I've given away a ton of them.

I wish you a tolerable Thursday. That's all any of us can hope for.

I had a migraine for about seven or eight straight days, and I was unable to sleep most nights.

Orphans, dead parents, lonely children at Christmas, morose spoken word recordings, everything you love about the holidays. Move the turkey over so you can fit your head in the oven.

Let's stop playing with ourselves and get on with the entertainment, shall we?

I remember lying down for a nap one day at about 4:00 and walking up at 11:00 the next morning.

I am severely distracted these days. It's hard to sit in front of the computer, uploading bad music for hours, when you have a wonderful boyfriend who treats you like a Goddess.

I'd like to run for office someday, but I'm afraid my ability to spell might give me an unfair advantage.

I can wholeheartedly apologize for not being at all sorry. And it really is the least I can do.

I wasn't one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded.

Adversity tests the sincerity of friends

A threat is a promise followed by a consequence.

Stand-up will always come first. I've been doing it for 22 years, and nothing compares to that connection you have with the audience. It's euphoric.

In the middle '50s, I had written that the point would come, inevitably, at which the relationship between the cause of conflict and political objectives would be lost.

There is a crisis in America. That crisis is divorce. It is easier to get out of a marriage than (to get out of a) contract to buy a used car.

And what is friendship but a name, A charm that lulls to sleep, A shade that follows wealth or fame, And leaves the wretch to weep?

I have always known that I wanted to work with youth through the arts and I believe the arts can help young people cope with hardship.

I want to build some thing permanent.
