One of the principal goals in my life has been to avoid embarrassing my children by doing the job I do. I hope I've managed to do that, and I hope that, with the job I'm in now, they are, if not proud, at least unembarrassed by it. I must say, my three are most agreeable children, who do nothing but delight me. ↗

You think, Oh, I didn't get to do anything. I tell people: I've been just about everywhere, but I've seen nothing. ↗

I'm very comfortable with how I look. I always have been. I think I look pretty good. There's nothing I want to change. I'm pretty happy with what I've got. ↗

Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot. ↗
