When a man does a household job, he goes through three periods: contemplating how it will be done; contemplating when it will be done; and contemplating.

Housekeeping is like being caught in a revolving door.

Life begins when a person first realizes how soon it will end.

Eating without conversation is only stoking.

I have these beautiful children and this extraordinary family, and to think in any way shape or form that that's wrong or that there's shame in that or that there's something to hide actually turns my stomach.

You write these songs which are really dear to you about your family or friends, loved ones, and then you get this call, and they say, 'It's perfect for two vampires making out in the back of a car.' It's some random TV show, and so I say, 'Oh, yeah, perfect - that's what I meant it for.'

I know you are going to be embarrassed. We're all embarrassed by it, but to hide the embarrassment... silence has never protected women or helped them. We need to talk about it more with our, you know - whoever - our friends, our family.

I really love the TV thing because it's a little of the best of all worlds. You have a sense of a family and work with the same people over the seasons.
