In the morning we received some very thin coffee. For lunch we had potato soup with a few pieces of meat in it in the evening we had a very thin meat soup with some potatoes in it.

Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.

Money again has often been a cause of the delusion of the multitudes. Sober nations have all at once become desperate gamblers and risked almost their existence upon the turn of a piece of paper.

I really like Calvin Klein for his classic simplicity. I also think Prabal Gurung designs some great pieces that work well for me. My mom has such great style she's my biggest influence.

I've had to adapt my wardrobe to my various roles both at the office as a mom and for television. When I shop for the season I look for pieces that will suit every facet of my daily life not just one single occasion.

Now that I'm a mom I'm way more laid back. If you come into my house don't look for a coaster. Forget it. There is not a piece of furniture in my house now that is too precious.

My mom would give me a piece to play but I wouldn't do any theory because when it came time to do it I would sneak back upstairs and watch TV. So I had these kind of nonchalant lessons for years then it just started soaking in.

I shoplifted. I was about five years old and I took a candy from a store. We paid for three of them but I took four and I went home and cried. My mom took me back and I paid for the missing piece.

My mom used to have a lot of European cinema playing in the house so I'd catch bits and pieces of films.

Ever since I was a little kid I've felt comfortable in a suit. It all started when my mom bought me a three-piece Pierre Cardin suit. I wore that thing everywhere. Eventually I realized I was going to be the kid who got beat up in school but I kept wearing it.

But men are so full of greed today they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.

And it was back in the mid-1980s and as I point out in a piece that was when we are spending about eight percent of our gross domestic product on health care. And even then we had the impression that so much of the excessive aggressive medical treatment that took place at the end of life was not only unnecessary but it was cruel.

Either marriage is a destiny I believe or there is no sense in it at all it's a piece of humbug.

Never ever discount the idea of marriage. Sure someone might tell you that marriage is just a piece of paper. Well so is money and what's more life-affirming than cold hard cash?

Marriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.

Love is when he gives you a piece of your soul that you never knew was missing.

I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach who walk their talk.
