"I think I have always had a little humor."

"I think that when you are famous every weakness is exaggerated."

"Twenty years ago, I wrote a book called 'It Takes a Village.' And a lot of people looked at the title and asked, 'What the heck do you mean by that?' This is what I mean. None of us can raise a family, build a business, heal a community or lift a country totally alone."

"I don't think anybody should ever touch anybody in anger, ever."

"I don't think I would describe my sense of humor. Doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd do."

"The trick is to enjoy life. Don't wish away your days, waiting for better ones ahead."
