QUOTABLE GEMS | JERRY SEINFELD

QUOTABLE GEMS | PAULA ABDUL

QUOTABLE GEMS | JON STEWART

I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything. Yes, I want to look back and know that I was terrible at a variety of things.

QUOTABLE GEMS | AL PACINO

I don't need bodyguards. I'm from the South Bronx.

QUOTABLE GEMS | SANDRA BULLOCK

There's something sexy about a gut. Not a 400-pound beer gut, but a little paunch. I love that.

QUOTABLE GEMS | ELIZABETH TAYLOR

I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too - for being married so many times.

QUOTABLE GEMS | GEORGE CLOONEY

After doing One Fine Day and playing a pediatrician on ER, I'll never have kids. I'm going to have a vasectomy.

QUOTABLE GEMS | CHRIS ROCK

I don't get high, but sometimes I wish I did. That way, when I messed up in life I would have an excuse. But right now there's no rehab for stupidity.

QUOTABLE GEMS - HUGH JACKMAN

I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years. I just love making a fool out of myself.

QUOTABLE GEMS - GROUCHO MARX

A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running.

QUOTABLE GEMS - TIM ALLEN

Men are liars. We'll lie about lying if we have to. I'm an algebra liar. I figure two good lies make a positive.

QUOTABLE GEMS - PAMELA ANDERSON

It's great being blonde - with such low expectations it's easy to impress.

QUOTABLE GEMS - BETTE MIDLER

I wouldn't say I invented tacky, but I definitely brought it to its present high popularity.

QUOTABLE GEMS | TOBEY MAGUIRE

I have no illusions at all about being a sex symbol. None of my former girlfriends ever thought of me that way, and I don't have any packs of women chasing me down the street like a Brad Pitt or someone like that.

QUOTABLE GEMS - JACK NICHOLSON

As you can see from the entry's title, this is something new. I'll explain what my plan is. Once a month I will feature an array of quotes from public figures because, like gemstones, to me a well-turned phrase is precious, albeit in a different way, and valuable. An honest, off-handed comment or words of wisdom can get your day off to a great start, make you laugh, invoke deeper thoughts, give you an entirely new perspective, diffuse anger, or even incite the kind of anger that motivates. So, let's get cracking . . .

Well, a younger woman is a type, but not necessarily a type for me. And what is a younger woman? I mean, I'm pretty old. Almost everyone is younger.
