I had an idea of what I thought was funny. It's kind of based on how I am.

I knew I wasn't a baseball writer. I was scared to death. I really was afraid to talk to players, and I didn't want to go into the press box because I thought I was faking it.

I thought it was all a flash in the pan. It wasn't until Broadway came along that I felt I had really made it.

Life for me has been exactly what I thought it would be, a cake, which I have eaten and had too.

The worst thing is always thinking of titles for records, with some reason behind them, and she just came out with the word, which she thought was a good word, a hard word, and since then we've sort of attached loads of meaning to it.

I stopped caring what people thought.

For purposes of action nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will.

Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious.

Action and faith enslave thought, both of them in order not be troubled or inconvenienced by reflection, criticism, and doubt.

Thought is a kind of opium; it can intoxicate us, while still broad awake; it can make transparent the mountains and everything that exists.

It came as a great shock to me when I heard that England and Soviet Russia had become allies. So much so that I thought that the people responsible in London were acting in a manner that no longer coincided with British imperial interests.

We've always been a band that stood up for what we thought was right.

I thought Nixon was the worst President we had ever had, save only perhaps Andrew Johnson.

The war in Vietnam I thought a dreadful mistake.

Having my son, I mean, I feel already that it makes me a better actress. Just the feeling and the love that expands in my being is more than I ever thought possible.
