You never know when something's going to hit you in a particular way and just knock you loose.
I don't like this idea of division: that if you're a clever woman then you've got to be a particular way. Because men don't. Men please themselves.
I try not to make it personal, and I don't care about partisan politics one way or the other.
I'm down for anything. I'll try anything once. I'm a party girl that way!
I thought that the older I got, that partying would change - and it has - in the way that now I know how to party.
I wouldn't have changed a thing in my past. Life is like dominoes: if you move one, it wouldn't fall the right way.
In my opinion nobody owns the patent on the art form of professional wrestling and the way it does its business.
I will not ever say that it's good to start with too little preparation, because that's patently not true. But I don't rehearse the way a lot of directors do, to stage a scene in terms of manners and attitudes and lock them in.
At age 14, my paternal grandfather fled Poland to escape the pogroms that killed tens of thousands of European Jews. He worked full-time for a cobbler in Boston, making his way to California and eventually starting his own business in Taft - the Goldman Oil Supply Company.
Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.
I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.
You know, Christianity has its own superstition anyway: Why you turn three times, what this saint means, why you pray to the patron saint of lost causes, why you go this way or that way.

Human connection is the way things work. It's like a patronage system. You know somebody, and he knows somebody, and he knows somebody, and he knows the district governor, and it's okay.
I was very aware of performers who have a persona, whether it's Siouxsie Sioux or Patti Smith or Lydia Lunch, and I'm just this middle-class girl coming from a more conventional upbringing, this California person. But in a way I felt like it's important to represent the normal.
I just want to be Patty McCormack. I want to spend every year aging the way she has.
I grew up listening to an album start to finish, and you don't skip songs. You don't listen to a Paul Simon record and skip a song: you listen to it the same way you would eat a meal... the way the person who prepared that meal for you means for you to experience it. That's how you should do it before you add salt and pepper to it.
When I was working on 'Night Falls Over Kortedala,' I was listening a lot to 'Graceland,' the Paul Simon record. I really got into the lyrics on that album. The opening line is so brilliant, the way he sets the scene.
The way he discovered Paula White was watching Christian television and Mr. Trump has always been a huge fan. He'd always watch Christian television. He loves Southern Gospel.
I so want to be able to speak another language. I love the way my friends who are half Italian and half English break from one language into another without even pausing.
