I never expected any sort of success with 'Mockingbird'... I sort of hoped someone would like it enough to give me encouragement.

It would be a joy for me if someone who was working with me became a big success.

The worst part of success is to try finding someone who is happy for you.

For someone who's had the level of success I've had there's been very little critical review of my work which is pretty fascinating.

We're constantly striving for success fame and comfort when all we really need to be happy is someone or some thing to be enthusiastic about.

It's a wonderful side effect of what we're doing to give someone the strength to come out of the closet to their family or simply present themselves aesthetically in a way they feel happy with whether or not their friends are going to be allowed to like them anymore.

The opponents and I are really one. My strength and skills only half of the equation. The other half is theirs. An opponent is someone whose strength joined to yours creates a certain result.

And partly the worst thing you could do in my family was need something from someone. So physical strength represented an avenue of self-sufficiency to me.

But I really like hosting I think it's a strength of mine. It allows me to improvise and I love the spontaneity of that and I think I'm funny behind the desk when interviewing someone.

Tina Turner is someone that I admire because she made her strength feminine and sexy.
