“I don't understand people whose gratification is a BMW. You don't know what joy is until you see a kid who was tortured get adopted by a family.”
“All I set out to do was to earn a living playing drums, you know? And as luck would have it, I've surpassed that.”
“One good thing about being young is that you're not experienced enough to know what can't be done.”
“From the time I was a child I wanted to be like my mother. Not necessarily an actress - I never dreamed I'd have the courage. But an active, volatile woman like she was.”
“My kids are pretty secure, bright, and know who they are.”
“Avoid all haste; calmness is an essential ingredient of politeness.”
“It's only a house when it's filled with people you love.”

“Well, there are more writers of blogs right now than there are readers, so that's clearly a vanity phenomenon.”
