Caring is BEYOND RACE. EITHER PEOPLE care about you, or they don't.

You can't do TELEVISION shows caring WHETHER or not the network picks you up. You can only do them enjoying the WORK, because if you're always on pins and needles about whether you'll be PICKED up, you'll LOSE your mind. I learned that the hard way.

Ebola is a humiliating disease that strips you of your dignity. You are removed from family and put into isolation where you cannot EVEN SEE the faces of those caring for you DUE to the PROTECTIVE SUITS - you can only see their eyes.

I feel an important part of BEAUTY is not only what you do on the outside but also what you put into the inside. GOOD FRESH FOOD with many vegetables along with love and caring for OTHERS. I spend way more time serving others than I do on my beauty routine daily.

My four SONS all KNEW I was a Jew, but they were ALLOWED to be WHATEVER they wanted to be. The only thing IMPORTANT to me was that they be good people who help other people, because all religion should try to make you a better person and a more caring person. Whenever religion does that for you, it's a good religion.

With Orff it is text, text, text - the music ALWAYS subordinate. Not so with me. In 'Magnificat,' the text is important, but in some places I'm writing just music and not caring about text. SOMETIMES I'm USING extremely complicated polyphony where the text is completely buried. So no, I am not ANOTHER Orff, and I'm not primitive.

When I go to galleries in New YORK, I feel like I'm in school. I know that there's GOOD contemporary conceptual art, but I have a really HARD time caring about it. I'd rather look at images of people and things I can RELATE to. Then again, I didn't go to art school.

Across society, the lion's share of caring RESPONSIBILITY - WHETHER for children or elderly RELATIVES - STILL falls on WOMEN.
