You know Johnny Depp has always been a massive inspiration for me and he's somebody who has produced an incredible amount of work and every single piece that he does is amazing.

The amount of control you have over somebody if you can monitor internet activity is amazing.

And it is very sexy as well: somebody says I'm taking you on a surprise date you don't know where you are going and you can't see and then you put your hand out and there is a tiger. Amazing.

When anything goes digital let alone something as immaterial as a book there is a tendency to see it as just in the air to be taken and to lose the sense that somebody once made it.

It's necessary to start most work alone. But I'm tickled to death when I can pull somebody in or join someone whether it's borrowing poetry or traveling with an associate.

I'm throwing myself back in because I like being married. I don't want to end this whole fabulous journey alone. I want someone by my side who I love and who loves me. I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife because I'm very high maintenance.

If you're truly in a band and you guys have been together for a long time there's a family bond that you have. In fact I've talked about this with therapists especially if you're talking about a relationship because when you're with somebody you're going to your family and she's alone.

Life is so impermanent that it's not about somebody else or things around me it's about knowing you are completely alone in this world and being content inside.

In Turkey you're not allowed to be left alone in the hospital. The nurse teaches the family how to do things and somebody is always there with the patient.

I get a friend to travel with me... I need somebody to bring me back to who I am. It's hard to be alone.

You have to have enough respect for other human beings to leave their lives alone. If you admire that life build it for yourself. Don't just try to come in and take somebody else's life.

Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean you will never be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody in the world.

I've had two romances since moving to Las Vegas. One was with somebody 12 years older than me and the other was the same age and neither worked out. I know people still think of me as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends and he of course was much older than me but that was a whole different lifestyle and a different kind of dating.

About the time I turned 50 I experienced the profound biological change that often accompanies women at that age. Also I put two kids in college and lost both of my parents so I'm no longer somebody's daughter.

If you love somebody you love them. My parents had a 25-year age gap between them and my mum was the breadwinner my dad the house husband. I'm a strong believer that a good relationship can work whatever the situation.

In an age when the fashion is to be in love with yourself confessing to be in love with somebody else is an admission of unfaithfulness to one's beloved.

Look demanding somebody do anything in this day and age is not going to fly.

I've never been more in love with anyone nearly half my age than I am today. I'd get married in a minute if I weren't still married to somebody else.

I've been very competitive by nature from a young age whether it was eating a bowl of pasta faster than somebody else or always wanting to be the first one in line.

If you age with somebody you go through so many roles - you're lovers friends enemies colleagues strangers you're brother and sister. That's what intimacy is if you're with your soulmate.

I don't think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself and I had to make good.
