What I couldn't help noticing was that I learned more about the novel in a morning by trying to write a page of one than I'd learned in seven years or so of trying to write criticism.

Couldn't start the morning without caffeine.

Somebody said to me this morning 'To what do you attribute your longevity?' I don't know. I mean I couldn't have planned my life out better. By all accounts I should be dead! The abuse I put my body through: the drugs the alcohol the lifestyle I've lived the last 30 years!

At this point I have enough money to live 25 lifetimes. You couldn't spend the money I've accrued now.

Money couldn't buy friends but you got a better class of enemy.

An agent saw one of the plays I did at ACT but my mom was like No she's too young. I became so annoying that a year and a half later she just couldn't stand hearing me any more!

My mom had to beg the guys to let me play. I couldn't even play the drums right - Brian had to show me.

They wrapped her up like a baby burrito to show to Mom. Here were a mother and her daughter and I love them both so much. I couldn't wait for Courtney to come to the hospital so I could have all my women together.

I couldn't wait until I grew up. I used to look at my mom's stockings and put them on with her high heels and mess with my hair.

There are days when I wonder why my mom couldn't be here to see this.

When I was a child I wanted to be an actor but I had really bad buckteeth. I didn't want to get braces but my mom said I couldn't be an actor if I didn't get the braces. So I got the braces.

No matter what like I couldn't - I could break a world record get an Olympic gold medal and my mom would be like you could have done better. But you looked pretty. That's what she says all the time.

My mom loved rock 'n roll. My father hated it. We couldn't play it when he was around.

I wanted to escape so badly. But of course I knew I couldn't just give up and leave school. It was only when I heard my mom's voice that I came out of my hiding place.

The Supreme Court has ruled that they cannot have a nativity scene in Washington D.C. This wasn't for any religious reasons. They couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

My mother was told she couldn't go to medical school because she was a woman and a Jew. So she became a teacher in the New York City public school system.

As far as hypnosis is concerned I had a very serious problem when I was in my twenties. I encountered a man who later became the president of the American Society of Medical Hypnosis. He couldn't hypnotize me.

When I told my doctor I couldn't afford an operation he offered to touch-up my X-rays.

My doctor gave me six months to live but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.

The fact is I am in my third marriage and I do not believe in divorce. But I was half the problem I guarantee you. More than half the problem. I couldn't negotiate with the other women.

It couldn't be a simpler answer. Marriage doesn't really mean anything to me. I feel like in many ways marriage is more for the families of the couple than for the people involved so I don't gravitate to it.

I couldn't bear a marriage in which one partner hinges on the other.

There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

Sobering up was responsible for breaking up my marriage. That's what it couldn't stand.
