A cow is bound to get her pliers sometime. It has nothing to do with me.

• I hope through The L Word to become an honorary member of the gay tribe. I cherish the thought that some young girl or woman somewhere may one night turn on the television and for the first time ever see her life represented - not as an isolated incident but as a multiplicity. Her overwhelming fear may have been that she might never find her tribe, she might never find love and now she knows that they are both out there waiting for her.

• A pesar de todo lo que he conseguido en mi vida, los premios culinarios, las condecoraciones militares, los títulos honoríficos, nunca jamás he perdido de vista lo que es verdaderamente importante.

• Stealing ideas from contemporaries is rude and tasteless. Stealing from the long dead is considered literary and admirable. The same is true of grave-robbing. Loot your local cemetery and find yourself mired in social awkwardness. But unearth the tomb of an ancient king and you can feel free to pop off his toe rings. You'll probably end up on a book tour, or bagging an honorary degree or two.

  N.D. Wilson

• I like the new shoe designers. Not all of them - there are really bad ones too. But I go to the colleges with these kids for lectures, as an honorary professor or whatever, and this Chinese girl I like very much who I give the award to says to me, "You don't know how much you inspired me to do shoes." And I'm glad that I convey that kind of desire to people when they see my bloody shoes.

• No tenía ni idea de que algo así pudiera ocurrir. Nunca se me ocurrió. Mi hijo me lo dijo. Me llamó y me dijo: "Querida, sólo quería que supieras que has sido elegida para recibir un premio honorífico de la Academia". Yo estaba en la parte de atrás del coche, y dije: "Oh", y rompí a llorar, por supuesto, porque era tan inesperado y tan maravilloso. Pensé que había valido la pena estar aquí todos estos años.
