I have a Viking stove. The color is butter lemon and I had to wait several months for it because that color wasn't available and I really wanted butter lemon! But I don't know that it's seriously ever been cooked on. I mean I make tea every morning. Does that count?

I'm very happy with the way I look. I wake up some morning catch myself in the bathroom mirror and go 'hey girl you're alright'. But on the other hand I find the website stuff and the polls something completely removed from my own personal life. You can't take anything like that too seriously otherwise you'd end up in the loony bin.

No one wants to go back to a situation where if you have a pre-existing medical condition you you can be deprived of coverage.

Do the bishops seriously imagine that legalising gay marriage will result in thousands of parties to heterosexual marriages suddenly deciding to get divorced so they can marry a person of the same sex?

Take this marriage thing seriously - it has to last all the way to the divorce.

Marriage is this grand madness and I think if people knew that they would perhaps take it more seriously.

I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.

My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously if you take your nervous system seriously if you take your sense organs seriously if you take the energy process seriously you must turn on tune in and drop out.

A child who has never fantasized about having other parents is seriously lacking in imagination.

I want to be taken seriously as the type of musician that plays stuff like an electric rake. I mean how seriously do you take someone like Spike Jones? They take him pretty seriously - a really good musician who made a great contribution in terms of humor which is part of what I try to do too.
