So I got caught up in the same wave as everybody else and went right out to Hollywood, to make movies.

I was near sighted. I was born myopic, and I got glasses, right after that.

My mother thought Hollywood was a den of iniquity, and people came to terrible bad ends there.

I get on the floor, and I can do things a woman a fifth my age can't do.

And I didn't. That's why my career was very short-lived.

I was taken to concerts when I was six, seven years old, and sat in a box throughout the whole evening.

I was born in New Orleans, and I wasn't allowed to go to the movies.

And I wasn't crazy about Hollywood in those days.

It was considered oh, not proper for children to go to the movies.

TV cameras seem to add ten pounds to me. So I make it a policy never to eat TV cameras.

It never occurred to me that I looked like a movie star.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

Words his soul danced to.

When I was young I used to have this nightmare about dying. I used to lie awake at night screaming. All my schoolfriends went to heaven or hell, and I was sent to Southend.

I wouldn't make it through the day without singing. It is my solace and my meditation and my release. It lets me know how I'm processing things, what I'm processing, if I'm out of touch in some area.

What does it matter if a few barking dogs snap at the heels of the weary travelers? ... The caravan moves on

Mathematics my foot! Algorithms are mathematics too, and often more interesting and definitely more useful.

I think free-to-play is both exciting and also really dangerous.

Slowly but surely, the older I get, the fatter I get. It just goes.

The difficulty we have in accepting responsibility for our behavior lies in the desire to avoid the pain of the consequences of that behavior.
