Husbands are like fires - they go out when they're left unattended.

The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing - and then marry him.

Yes, it's a man's world, but that's all right because they're making a total mess of it. We're chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it's a difficult task, but it's not.

I don't like Bush. I don't trust him. I don't like his record. He's stupid. He's lazy.

I can trust my friends These people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.

Women are the real architects of society.

I have a problem with religion that makes it so, like, 'We are the ones. We are the chosen ones.'

Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong and disposable.

Men aren't necessities. They're luxuries.

To me marriage is for five or ten years.

I'm learning English at the moment. I can say 'Big Ben', 'Hello Rodney', 'Tower Bridge' and 'Loo'.

Women have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

I would have gone home to my mother, but I'm not that crazy about my mother.

I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.

Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great.

I only answer to two people, myself and God.

I know I'm not supposed to have any opinions about politics, because I'm famous.

I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia.

In this business it takes time to be really good - and by that time, you're obsolete.

I've been screaming at the top of my lungs at my family, 'Work out! Work out! Old age is coming!'
