The reason there weren’t any, I am surmising, is that a lot of Latin kids, Latino kids, in those days didn’t have the money to take those kind of classes.

It is very important that women of this country be made aware of the dangers of osteoporosis in the sense that it is a silent and invisible disease with no symptoms whatsoever.

Apparently, I think it’s Columbia Records has Betty Wand’s name on all of the stuff that I did, too, and that’s made me very, very unhappy.

I love the people here. I love New York.

Bigger than life is not difficult for me. I am bigger than life.

Then there’s the story of ill-fated love. It’s universal.

I want to play tennis and fornicate.

Diamonds never leave you… men do!

I don’t have a recollection of mostly anybody I’ve hung out with.

[on Edward Cullen in ‘Twilight’] He’s a poet, and very deep and profound. He’s just extraordinarily troubled.

I’m not one for parties and stuff like that. I get a bit nervous around lots of people. Being invisible is what I really enjoy. That I find quite entertaining.

When it’s not your gig, you’re like, ‘I’m just gonna go to bed!’

Ghost stories really scare me. I have such a big imagination that after I watch a horror movie like The Grudge, I look in the corners of my room for the next two days.

Ah, yes, divorce, from the Latin word meaning to rip out a man’s genitals through his wallet.

I love the intellectual type. They know everything and suspect nothing.

In the past, I had workaholic issues.

Politics and prostitution have to be the only jobs where inexperience is considered a virtue. In what other profession would you brag about not knowing stuff? I’m not one of those fancy Harvard heart surgeons. I’m just an unlicensed plumber with a dream and I’d like to cut your chest open. The crowd cheers.

When I was a kid, I’d be there in the stands thinking: ‘Come on Wolves, do it for me!’….And here I am again: ‘Come on Wolves,’ pleading with a borrowed laptop!

I go by my instincts. It’s whatever I feel in the scene in the moment.

Being a Southern person and a blonde, it’s not a good combination. Immediately, when people meet you, they think of you as not being smart.

I just want to make the best music of all time with my best friends.
