It is art that makes life makes interest makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.

But those musics do not address the larger kind of architecture in time that classical music does whatever each one of us knows that classical music must mean.

I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.

Whatever good things we build end up building us.

We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.

After my second-to-last record 'The Greatest' I had gone on tour for a while and I didn't play an instrument for about five years. And I got kind of - it's not self-esteem or whatever or anger toward myself - but disappointed in myself that I hadn't been challenging myself to learn musically.

Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame.

When I left the show the fans were so amazing in terms of the outpouring of support and continued support all that time whatever ways they could be in touch with me.

When I go outside of L.A. no matter where it is really anywhere I go people will be stopping me or taking pictures or whatever it is. And it's great. It's amazing. I'm just lucky.

'10' was amazing! I had no career before '10' and then all of a sudden I was able to do pretty much whatever I was able to do in the business.

If you pay attention to the world it's an amazing place. If you don't it's whatever you think it is.

I seriously love to cook... My grandmother was an amazing cook. As a kid I used to help her make handmade pasta Cavatelli and Ravioli. It was one of my favorite things to do. I love the idea of making whatever is in the fridge into something.

I just want to be a part of great stories whether I'm part of an amazing ensemble cast or I'm leading it or the antagonist or whatever.

I imagine my children are going to save me from my vanity and be my passion and fill whatever fears I have of the amazing time I'm having right now being gone.

The other day I was reading a blog and I linked over to Streisand's Web site and it was amazing politically. She's so insightful and incisive. And she also says whatever she wants.

Words to me were magic. You could say a word and it could conjure up all kinds of images or feelings or a chilly sensation or whatever. It was amazing to me that words had this power.

As I've gotten older I've occasionally found myself nostalgic for earlier periods of solitude though I realize that's also likely a false nostalgia as I know there was nothing I wanted more during those periods than to not be alone whatever that means.

I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt drudgery and a life of misery.

Whatever my individual desires were to be free I was not alone. There were many others who felt the same way.

Once a disease has entered the body all parts which are healthy must fight it: not one alone but all. Because a disease might mean their common death. Nature knows this and Nature attacks the disease with whatever help she can muster.

Because for whatever reason even though I want to stay home all the time and be left alone I want to tell the world who I am now.

I got a lot of problems but I'm really good at intuiting what I need to do to be happy with whatever I create. I know when to stop myself I know when to start I know when to leave something alone. I guess I just kind of indulge that completely and so I just take my time.

I never did anything alone. Whatever was accomplished in this country was accomplished collectively.
