If I can bring joy into the world if I can get people to stop thinking about their pain for a moment or the fact the tomorrow morning they're going to get up and tell their boss off... then I'll be successful.

It's very important to write things down instantly or you can lose the way you were thinking out a line. I have a rule that if I wake up at 3 in the morning and think of something I write it down. I can't wait until morning - it'll be gone.

I don't go to Mass every day. But I go to church every day. Just sitting there thinking - it's a great way to start the morning you know? You feel so good coming out and your approach to everything is suddenly really clear.

I was so obsessed by this problem that I was thinking about it all the time - when I woke up in the morning when I went to sleep at night - and that went on for eight years.

My brain is so anxiety-prone like a pinball machine. If I don't get up in the morning and focus my thinking my breathing and my being for about 12 minutes I'm just a screwball all day long.

You lie awake at 3 in the morning thinking of story ideas. You're online at 8 a.m. on a Sunday or midnight on a Wednesday. It's a job that you never push aside.

And if small businesspeople say they made it on their own all they are saying is that nobody else worked seven days a week in their place. Nobody showed up in their place to open the door at five in the morning. Nobody did their thinking and worrying and sweating for them.

Money isn't important but you have to have enough so you don't have to think about it. Thinking about money is a drag.

I remember thinking that I'd way rather give my parents my money and not have to like have them go to work anymore you know what I mean. Because I'd way rather spend more time with them.

Prosperity is a way of living and thinking and not just money or things. Poverty is a way of living and thinking and not just a lack of money or things.

People assume I'm out there having this great life but money doesn't erase the pain. When you're young you barrel through life making choices without thinking of repercussions. A few years down the line you wake up in a certain place and wonder how the hell you got there.

Thinking in its lower grades is comparable to paper money and in its higher forms it is a kind of poetry.

The money can be a hindrance to someone like me because the danger is that you start thinking 'Is that a $20 million take?' That kind of thing and being self-critical.

I think of myself as a fairly attractive girl and always have thanks to my mom. I was brought into this world thinking I was gorgeous because my mother was extremely devoted to this notion.

I'm not sure anyone - and I could be wrong in this - grows up thinking I want to be a single mom.

Just recently I was in Target with my mom shopping and out of the blue I see this father and his two daughters and he says 'Can they get a picture with you?' And I'm thinking to myself 'Am I the one millionth customer or something?'

My mother smokes me out. We'll get these long periods of me thinking I'm too busy to call her up or e-mail her and she'll send me something. My mom's a real whiner. I love her to death but she always sends me these 'woe is me' things. I think she might be Jewish. I'm not sure. She's Baptist-Jewish which is a double whammy.

I like to write and draw and paint and my mom's an artist so I think I get caught up in thinking 'I'm afraid it's gonna be bad ' and it's hard for me to start sometimes.

I was thinking that when I have children that I should always dress as a character for them so they think their mom is Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. It would be totally messed up!

When I was a little girl rocking my little dolls I remember thinking I would be the world's best mom and so far I've done it.

Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children you're thinking about working.

When women are depressed they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.

Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.
