I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.

You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have. Sadly, too often creativity is smothered rather than nurtured.

I did not get on the bus to get arrested. I got on the bus to go home.

If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.

Cherish forever what makes you unique, cuz you're really a yawn if it goes.
