I'm trying to have my own thing, and I don't know if it's even possible. I didn't realize so many people actually think I'm trying to be like my dad. I read comments like 'She's no Elvis.' I'm not trying to be. I never set out to be.

Thomas Jefferson

I think I have a dualistic nature.

Bob Dylan

I want to direct, produce, and write, learning as I go.

Emmanuel Lewis

Well, because I have twin seven-year-old boys, I enjoy the gift giving stuff a great deal. We do both Hanukkah and Christmas, so it is a costly, though extremely pleasing proposition.

Fred Melamed

The only way to atone for being occasionally a little over-dressed is by being always absolutely over-educated.

Oscar Wilde
