I have this extraordinary life during the day and then I get to come home to my sweet husband who loves to cook with me. I have a nice glass of wine he has some scotch we chat we cook and we hang out with the dog. I have an absolute dream life.

I still watch 'Idol ' and it's still the No. 1 show so obviously I'm not the only one who loves to sit at home and be entertained.

He that loves not his wife and children feeds a lioness at home and broods a nest of sorrows.

I was coming home from kindergarten - well they told me it was kindergarten. I found out later I had been working in a factory for ten years. It's good for a kid to know how to make gloves.

Happiness for you we walk on a knife edge. To the eyes you are a flickering light to the feet thin ice that cracks and so may no one touch you who loves you.

When God loves a creature he wants the creature to know the highest happiness and the deepest misery He wants him to know all that being alive can bring. That is his best gift. There is no happiness save in understanding the whole.

Great passions my dear don't exist: they're liars fantasies. What do exist are little loves that may last for a short or a longer while.

Great loves too must be endured.

In the inner city there's a mentality that the government owes you something. My breakthrough came when I stopped feeling sorry for myself and took responsibility for every part of my life. No more pity parties. I've gotta love me more than anybody else loves me.

A man is only as good as what he loves.
