Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.
We were probably the last people in the country to get a VCR and we didn't have cable. There wasn't any admiration of glamour no 'I want to look like them or have that lifestyle' because everyone in my town had the same lifestyle. So I didn't think 'Ooh a movie star's birthday!' I just thought 'What?'
I grew up doing all that stuff because I was obsessed with the '50s. I had sock hops for birthday parties. So I've always done The Twist and stuff. It was pretty natural and with my parents doing it all the time I'd just copy them. Not very pretty.
I can put my legs behind my head and sing 'Happy Birthday.' Because that's something that me and my friends used to do when we were in gymnastics class as kids and I can still do it. I was doing it since I was 8 and 9. They used to call me Gumby. Very bendy.

The reason I met my husband was because I remembered a friend's birthday. The moral of the story is: Remember people's birthdays.

Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.
I get a lot of the ideas when I'm resting - either when I'm meditating or getting some kind of work done on my back like physical therapy or acupuncture. That's where I get my best ideas maybe because I'm balancing my body.
I'm so in control of my life you shouldn't dislike anything I do-because I'm not only in the best place I've ever been but it keeps getting better and better.
My nominee for Best Picture of the year - maybe the best picture ever because it's essentially made up of and is an ecstatic love letter to all other movies - is Christian Marclay's endlessly enticing must-see masterpiece 'The Clock.'
You owe it to yourself to be the best person possible. Because if you are others will want to be with you want to provide you with the things you want in exchange for what you're giving to them.
Let me be the first to tell you drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up.
The Left Elite only pretend to be concerned about what's best for everyone else because it is the most effective way to manipulate you and your children into their abyss.

Don't despair too much if you see beautiful things destroyed if you see them perish. Because the best things are always growing in secret.
