You kill me and I'll see that you never work in this town again.

So she viewed time spent in the land of the normal as an investigation into the world of marriage-worthy men, even if she was unsure about her own interest in marriage. There must be one solid citizen who also had a spark of life, a sense of humor and adventure.

So, I can hurt now, or hurt later.

What is a movie star? A movie star is many things. They can be tall, short, thin, or skinny. They can be Democrats... or skinny.

I think I did pretty well, considering I started out with nothing but a bunch of blank paper.

You want to be a bit compulsive in your art or craft or whatever you do.

Performing music is a way to do comedy, but without the obligation to do a solid hour, hour and half of a standup. I could intersperse it with music, so it became a really good format for me.

I can understand the drug thing. So they feel that it's more important to take the drugs than to do a good show for the people.

I feel good about being able to take bluegrass on to television like 'Letterman' and 'The View,' and I've heard nice things about being able to do that. I really haven't felt any negativity toward me or my music.
