A year from now, you’re gonna weigh more or less than what you do right now.

The difference between you and the person you envy, is that you settle for less.

You would worry less about what people think, if you knew how little they did.

The people change, the common denominator is you.

Know your goal, make a plan and pull the trigger.

When I was practicing psychology, I used to tell myself if I ever get to where I’m just doing this for the money or I’m just going through the motions, I’ll quit.

Certain guys tell me they want women of substance, not beautiful models. It just means they can’t get beautiful models.

Don’t confuse feelings with facts and don’t ignore facts when they come as feelings.

It’s better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else.

I think you have different soul mates throughout your life, that your soul needs different things at different times.

Dear Ladies: You should never need to prove to other women that he’s in love with you. That’s his job.

Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life. If you’re with an individual who isn’t moving in the same direction and at the same rate that you are, it ain’t going to work.

My friends tell me I have an intimacy problem. But they don’t really know me.

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

Without a doubt, my richest relationships are my long-term friendships with musical partners, because we make music together. That’s what we love to do with our lives.

I wasn’t looking to be gay. I was quite upset when I discovered that was part of my life. I wished it would go away. But you can’t change who you are. And I tried to fight it in the beginning. And then I had a cancer scare in the mid-70’s. And that turned out to be a mistake, and I thought, ‘Life is too short.’

It isn’t about how tall you are or how good-looking you are or whether or not you can play football. It’s about whether you can create a relationship.

I don’t like anybody to be angry with me. I’d rather have friends.

A bond as important as that of a husband and wife, is the bond between siblings.

Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody.

I guess I am just not the marrying type. I have given it a few chances, and it just goes haywire after a month or two. I am on wife number five right now, maybe five’s a charm?
