Imagination! My problem is that I have so many ideas, I never have enough time to use them all. Just the other day I thought up eleven things I could do with a flowerpot. Eleven! Three of those things didn't even involve plants.
I like to entertain in all aspects. When you're with somebody and you're out, you want to be entertained.
Before you can give of yourself to others you must know what of yourself you have to give. Every person is special. In all the land there is only one you, possibly two, but seldom more than sixteen.
That's why I love improvisational theater so much - you do it [scene] once and then it's done. You don't get bogged down with a lot of preplanning and repetition. If I do something and it gets a laugh, I don't want to do it again. Why bother? I'm just repeating myself. It's boring.
Usually, the best ideas come from other people's good ideas, which then, after a short gestation period, become your ideas.
I like to be the one in charge of everything.
As my guests leave even my most simple parties, I consistently hear the same thing: 'That was the best time I ever had,' and it's always me saying it. But I do know in my heart they all feel the same way, probably.
My favorite things often have a story behind them and are usually handmade or discovered at a flea market.
You know when you watch old movies, it's always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air.
I love old cookbooks. I just got such a kick out of them, how the color would be way off or fake looking. The cook books now look so much like magazines, you'll never make food that looks like that. I'd rather see it the ugly way than they way they do it now.
I think it's good for a person to spend time alone. It gives them an opportunity to discover who they are and to figure out why they are always alone.
My mom used to say that Greek Easter was later because then you get stuff cheaper.
Don't answer the door in a wedding dress and veil, he might not think you're joking.
I was just a kid. I think I stole a candy bar. I remember feeling so terrible. It was the worst shock. I was probably 7. That's my least favorite feeling: guilt.
