A person who knows how to laugh at himself will never ceased to be amused.
Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. It's where all the fruit is.
Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
For me, the safest place is out on a limb.
I don't need a man to rectify my existence. The most profound relationship we'll ever have is the one with ourselves.
I realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then absolutely anything is possible. And from that moment, my life changed.
I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.
I want women to be liberated and still be able to have a nice ass and shake it.
I'd like to introduce someone who has just come into my life. I've admired him for 35 years. He's someone who represents integrity, honesty, art, and on top of that stuff I'm actually sleeping with him.
I've made so many movies playing a hooker that they don't pay me in the regular way anymore. They leave it on the dresser.
It's useless to hold a person to anything he says while he's in love, drunk, or running for office.
Sex is hardly ever just about sex.
Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself.
The best way to get husbands to do something is to suggest that perhaps they are too old to do it.
The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.
The person who knows how to laugh at himself will never cease to be amused.
