My parents had an arranged marriage as did so many other people when I was growing up. My father came and had a life in the United States one way and my mother had a different one and I was very aware of those things. I continue to wonder about it and I will continue to write about it.

I'd love to have First Lady Michelle Obama over and ask 'How do you make your marriage work?' I think the president is sexy as all get-out but he has got to get on her nerves some kind of way. He's this wonderful powerful man but she sees him leaving his socks on the floor.

Marriage is wonderful.

Marriage destroyed my relationship with two wonderful men.

I've had two proposals since I've been a widow. I am a wonderful catch you know. I have a lot of money.

I might be celibate but I appreciate the wonder of the sacrament of marriage.

Take care of him. And make him feel important. And if you can do that you'll have a happy and wonderful marriage. Like two out of every ten couples.

Marriage is a wonderful invention: then again so is a bicycle repair kit.

Marriage is a wonderful institution but who wants to live in an institution?

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.

Men love to wonder and that is the seed of science.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue a wonderful living side by side can grow if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul began. My mind loses itself in these depths.

I would say my greatest achievement in life right now - my greatest achievement period is - and I'm still trying to achieve it - is to be a wonderful father to my kids.

Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are.

What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner.

I think jazz is a wonderful learning tool.

I love learning and I think that curiosity is a wonderful gift.

I grew up in a time when being a musician and learning to be a musician was actually very wonderful.

Whatever the medium there is the difficulty challenge fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials.

Part of my training was learning how to refer patients to cardiologists for heart problems gastroenterologists for stomach issues and rheumatologists for joint pain. Given that most physicians were trained this way it's no wonder that the average Medicare patient has six doctors and is on five different medications.

I never refused an autograph never refused to buy someone a drink. Now I'm learning to say I've got other things on instead of doing it and wondering why.

But if we learn to think of it as anticipation as learning as growing if we think of the time we spend waiting for the big things of life as an opportunity instead of a passing of time what wonderful horizons open out!

If people are made to feel uncomfortable in the kitchen they won't go in there. That's why I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing.
