I want my audience to know me for my work, not because of who I'm dating or what drugs I'm on or what club I went to.

Nobody deserves your tears, but whoever deserves them will not make you cry.

We're growing up, we're moving into adolescence now. When we grow up - man, we're going to be something!as cited by Susan Sackett, author of Inside Trek: A Star Trek Memoir, used with permission

Death is delightful. Death is dawn, The waking from a weary night Of fevers unto truth and light.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

When a man's best friend is his dog, that dog has a problem.
