To this day some of my closest friends say 'Gaga you know everything's great. You're a singer your dreams have come true.' But still when certain things are said to you over and over again as you're growing up it stays with you and you wonder if they're true.

Lonesome. Lonesome. I know what it means. Here all by my lonesome dreaming empty dreams. Weary. Weary at the close of day wondering if tomorrow brings me joy or sorrow.

Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.

Deep into that darkness peering long I stood there wondering fearing doubting dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

I dream about 'Cheers.' Like when you go on a diet and you dream of pizza. I always think of those wonderful years. I loved working on it.

I'm a wonderful disaster. So are you. We're all a mess. We're in this culture that says take this pill and you'll be happy go on this diet and you'll be thinner have your teeth whitened people will love you more.

And then build a bustling wonderful city of the 21st century with a restoration of a spectacular skyline which Manhattan of course needs. So that is really the design as a whole.

When I design and wonder what the point is I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So in that sense fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.

The Japanese have a wonderful sense of design and a refinement in their art. They try to produce beautiful paintings with the minimum number of strokes.

No wonder the film industry started in the desert in California where like all desert dwellers they dream their buildings rather than design them.

I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.

You can design and create and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.

But then I'm one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music.

I get scared to death when I see people who say they've found Jesus Christ and they're out there and I wonder who's teaching them? Who's mentoring them?

Coming through the fire and through the storm of life with a strong man my fiance Ashanti whom I've been dating for eight months and two wonderful children beside me I'm just so happy that I have been able to maintain my integrity and get to where I am today with the right energy around me.

I look at my little girl and I wonder what she's going to be and what she's going to do and what is it that leads girls certain directions in life. I think a lot of that goes back to what kind of father they had and so it makes me want to be the best dad I can possibly be.

I went and took golf lessons so Dad would let me play with him. I was just terrible... but I was able to have a wonderful time just walking around with Dad. I can see the real pleasure of that game.

I can't remember a major league game where I could make eye contact with my dad. I kept wondering if he was going to yell at me for hanging a pitch or something.

When it came to the stylish and graceful art of ballroom dancing my dad was a king of the clubs a prowling tiger and a wonderfully natural mover.

Mom was the one who taught me unconditional love. With Dad I'd always felt there was something to live up to - expectations. But in the last year we had a wonderful relationship.

I'd like to play Matt Damon's daddy. He's a wonderful actor I really admire him and I'd like to play his dad one day.

Watching your husband become a father is really sexy and wonderful.

I love Joan Collins. She's a wonderful lady. She has such courage. She's such a good actress.

For too long our country's version of an energy policy has consisted of Americans waking up every day and wondering how much it will cost to drive to work how much it will cost to keep their business running how much it will cost to heat or cool their homes.
