It means a lot in my business and its a wonderful feeling to be recognized for what you have done over a lifetime but I didn't go crazy. I still eat my cereal in the morning have a sandwich in the afternoon go to bed at night. You know nothing really different.

I turned on VH1 this morning just to get a little warm-up before I came over here and I think it's just terrific. There's so much great stuff: diverse and wonderful music good performances great looking girls great videos the whole thing.

It is always with excitement that I wake up in the morning wondering what my intuition will toss up to me like gifts from the sea. I work with it and rely on it. It's my partner.

Probably millions of Americans got up this morning with a cup of coffee a cigarette and a donut. No wonder they are sick and fouled up.

I have never been bored an hour in my life. I get up every morning wondering what new strange glamorous thing is going to happen and it happens at fairly regular intervals.

The brain is a wonderful organ it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.

People assume I'm out there having this great life but money doesn't erase the pain. When you're young you barrel through life making choices without thinking of repercussions. A few years down the line you wake up in a certain place and wonder how the hell you got there.

I don't want to make money I just want to be wonderful.

It would be great to do another television show that was a multi-camera because the hours are so wonderful and you can be a good mom at the same time. The problem is there aren't a lot of multi-camera shows that I personally like. My aesthetic is more geared toward single-camera shows.

I probably wouldn't be singing if not for Michael Jackson. When I started singing I didn't like my tone until my mom put me on to Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder so listening to the way they used their instrument helped me get more comfortable with my own.

So much of our lives are defined by habit or what the guy next to us is doing never wondering and knowing who and what we support with our actions from the detergent Mom always used to my favorite dish I make... A lot of my life is unexamined habit.

My brother Jim and I spent many wonderful summers working on dairy farms in Wisconsin owned by Mom's cousins and as members of our local Boy Scout troop.

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

My parents are wonderful and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person.

I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did I think 'Wow that's a really wonderful man.'

I grew up in Marcy Projects in Brooklyn and my mom and pop had an extensive record collection so Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder and all of those sounds and souls of Motown filled the house.

Grades were important in our house. I was reading by two. My mom would sit there and read with me read with me read with me. It was wonderful.

I was thinking that when I have children that I should always dress as a character for them so they think their mom is Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. It would be totally messed up!

My parents are wonderful and I'm really lucky - but my mom has always been almost exclusively a right-brained person. She goes completely on her feelings of things on her intuition and so she instilled that in my brothers and I.

A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful.

Women must tell men always that they are the strong ones. They are the big the strong the wonderful. In truth women are the strong ones. It is just my opinion I am not a professor.

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains at the huge waves of the sea at the long courses of the rivers at the vast compass of the ocean at the circular motions of the stars and they pass by themselves without wondering.
