I remember being on film sets when I was younger and only men got to do the cool action movies. So I thought 'Maybe I'll get to produce one day and get to do cool stuff too ' which is what happened when we did 'Charlie's Angels.' Starting my production company was a big turning point for me.

The first reason for the preponderant influence of those Evangelicals who define themselves as advocates of Religious Right theological and political ideologies is that they have both the financial means and technological know-how to make widespread use of modern electronic forms of communication.

Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.

Washington is still very much a male-oriented culture. Being from Los Angeles I think it is less so there - there is less attachment to tradition perhaps there is more flexibility more acceptance of change generally. That is partly because of Hollywood.

I just find the evangelical church too well restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is nonconfrontational. We believe there are many forms of Scripture. What is true is true and will never change whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.

Those issues are biblical issues: to care for the sick to feed the hungry to stand up for the oppressed. I contend that if the evangelical community became more biblical everything would change.

Weep not that the world changes - did it keep a stable changeless state it were cause indeed to weep.

The thing about New York is you can leave your house without a plan and find the day. You can't do that in Los Angeles. You need to get in your car all this you can't just drive around like a lunatic. In New York you can literally walk outside and wind up anywhere.

Eventually I did that but it took a lot of twists and turns and there were a year or two there where I was living with no money at all - no home no car no nothing. I was living in somebody's garage in Los Angeles at that point - for a year.

I always wanted to be a zookeeper when I was growing up and I've wound up a zookeeper! I've been working with the Los Angeles Zoo for 45 years! I'm the luckiest old broad on two feet because my life is divided absolutely in half - half animals and half show business. You can't ask for better than two things you love the most.

Los Angeles is such a town of show business and I'm a terrible celebrity. I find it difficult - it's the beast that must be fed. There's this big wheel of pictures and articles that goes around and you get pinned on it.

In politics strangely enough the best way to play your cards is to lay them face upwards on the table.

Pride is still aiming at the best houses: Men would be angels angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods if angels fell aspiring to be angels men rebel.

This is so cliche but my beauty icon would have to be Angelina Jolie. She looks like she wears natural makeup but she's still beautiful.

Beauty the eternal Spouse of the Wisdom of God and Angel of his Presence thru' all creation.

My beauty icon is Angelina Jolie.

One night I'll be in Los Angeles and it'll be a Latin crowd and then another night I'll go to Fresno and it'll be an all-black crowd. To me that's the beauty of the music.

Los Angeles is like a beauty parlor at the end of the universe.

I was never an ambitious girl or even a self-confident one. I never went in for beauty pageants or wore a stitch of make-up until I went to Los Angeles.

You can have a laugh in Los Angeles or you can weep in Los Angeles depending on your attitude towards it.

When the bright angel dominates out comes a great work of art a Michelangelo David or a Beethoven symphony.

In Los Angeles by the time you're 35 you're older than most of the buildings.

Los Angeles is a very magical place when you take the entertainment industry out of it. You have beautiful beaches and amazing mountains here. I'm a big rock climber. I head out into the mountains whenever I have free time. It's amazing.

There's the Hollywood sign there's Griffith Observatory there's the great amazing Los Angeles Basin. It's 465 square miles of insanity and the best food on the planet.
