Being a woman in music was fine, but when I wanted to direct, I was poking my head into a man's world.
I don't like talking about myself and I don't like talking about the work.
Sometimes, when you work with mediocre talents, they feel entitled. They act like stars. Genuinely talented people don't.
The result [Republicans winning the Senate] would be devastating for reproductive choice, the environment, civil liberties, Social Security and health care, as well as corporate accountability.
Why am I so famous? What am I doing right? What are the others doing wrong?
I like to stay home a lot. I like to do other things too, like decorate or build.
I started going to acting school when I was 14, and I would always have my own take on things.
I'd take out a joint and light it. First, just faking it. Then I started lighting live joints, passing them around to the band, you know. I was great, it relieved all my tensions. And I ended up with the greatest supply of grass ever. Other acts up and down the Strip heard about what I was doing - Little Anthony and the Imperials, people like that - and started sending me the best dope in the world. I never ran out.
Being a celebrity is a no-win situation. If you get along with your co-star you're having an affair, if you don't you're having a feud.
I don't know why it is that we need to denigrate, to knock down. It's so unhealthy for the culture. It's so sick.
I’d rather not talk about money. It’s kind of gross.
I tell you what I envy about people in love - I'd love it if someone knew me I mean really knew me. What I like what I'm afraid of what kind of toothpaste I use." - Rose Morgan
I love things that are indescribable, like the taste of an avocado or the smell of a gardenia.
I have one son. Of everything I've done in my life, nothing matches the feeling of having life growing inside you.
