Personal quotes
"Wrinkles, soft faces, older faces are signs of wisdom, which is the greatest sign of beauty."
"The idea that someone like Britney Spears is a role model for teenage girls is kind of sad and horrifying. Britney is the epitome of a nonartist. She has nothing to offer but her T&A."
[On the cancellation of 'Joan of Arcadia']: "I'd rather be a on a good show that only runs two years than on a dumb show that's a hit for like eight years, which is usually the case these days."
