July 15 Birthdays

I'm not a beautiful person and I never have been. My ex Sylvester Stallone was obsessed with my looks. He got my profile carved into the place settings of our crystal dining table. And he commissioned a bronze statue of the two of us in our underwear for his garden. It was so embarrassing. But I never understood his fascination.

There is a world of difference between a leadership that is based on love and respect, and one that is based on fear.

I would rather exercise than read a newspaper.

Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles.

Theres no love more intense than the love we have for our kids - and where there is intense love, there is also intense fear lurking beneath the surface.

I was never a pretty girl, so I wasnt the one to get the boy. I used to cast myself as a good sport. Sometimes I wonder if I do that too much with roles I play, because if Im absolutely truthful, I quite like being the best friend, or the supporting role, and actually I ought to gear-change and make myself the leading role.

I am not the flag: not at all. I am but its shadow.

Comedy is my passion. Im going to do this until I drop.

This air we breathe is precious, and the glaciers helped me understand that and stay focused on that.

We must all make peace so that we can all live in peace.

Congratulations, you have a sense of humor. And to those who didnt: Go stick your head in the mud.

With Saturday morning cartoons, youve got to start at 6 A.M., right?

Im not one to take revenge. If someone does something wrong to me I leave it in the hands of the universe to take care of that person.

Rather than be asked to abandon ones own heritage and to adapt to the mores of the new country, one was expected to possess a treasure of foreign skills and customs that would enrich the resources of American living.

I dont think I could play a character that I couldnt relate to somehow. Im not unfamiliar with frustration, anger, shame, helplessness and a load of other emotions that make up our psycho-soup. I try to focus on that frustration, that sense of unfairness, and multiply it.

Give me a fruitful error anytime, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections.

God gives me the childrens ministry heart and patience. This is what He wants. Its awesome. I dont know where Hes gonna take it - but God is building this thing.

Love is the extremely difficult realization that something other than oneself is real.

I wish I had as much in bed as I get in the newspapers.

Why worry about minor little details like clean air, clean water, safe ports and the safety net when Jesus is going to give the world an "Extreme Makeover: Planet Edition" right after he finishes putting Satan in his place once and for all?
