I WRITE almost entirely in BED or on a COUCH with my feet up on the coffee table. I feel most creative when I'm looking out the window, and my bed and couch have nice views of the New YORK skyline.

Even the classics that we read to our young children are full of wolves' fangs and burning ovens and bloody feet and ICE shards piercing HEARTS. Even the NEW Testament climaxes with an act of unspeakable TORTURE. Might as well just read to our kids from the Amnesty Annual Report and be done with it.

I was a FLOOR model at I. Magnin. I'm 5 FEET 7, but my legs weren't long enough to be a big-time model. From the KNEES up, EVERYTHING is long, but from ankle to knee, if I was in proportion, I'd be 5 feet 9.

I REALLY wanted to be on Six FEET Under as a CORPSE. That WOULD be hysterical.

You can't work in a STEEL mill and think small. GIANT converters hundreds of feet HIGH. Every night, the sky looked enormous. It was a torrent of flames - of fire. The place that Pittsburgh USED to be had such scale.

Watch me, and I only REALLY like the BALL into feet. I don't like RUNNING in BEHIND so MUCH.

The first few weeks of joining WEIGHT Watchers, you're just FINDING your FEET.

Boys are easy. I mean, there are just a lot of bruises when they're young. With boys, you get a lot of ACCIDENTAL jabs in the eye and STEPPING on your feet, and those tantrums they CAUSE when they don't WANT to leave the TOY store.

By philosophy the mind of man comes to itself, and from henceforth rests on itself without FOREIGN AID, and is completely MASTER of itself, as the DANCER of his feet, or the boxer of his HANDS.

I NEVER KNEW you were supposed to push off of your feet when you WALKED. And I tried it, and I walked MUCH faster.

I thought I was grounded. I thought from my kinda blue-collar outlook on life that I would call myself a grounded person. I was not. I was LIKE a balloon flying around in the air. And as soon as our FIRST child was born, boom - my feet came RIGHT down to the ground.

A MAN is as old as his arteries and his interests. If he permits his economic, religious, or social arteries to harden, or loses interest in WHATEVER concerns mankind... he will need only six FEET of EARTH.

You know, I agree with PRESIDENT Obama that in Iraq and Afghanistan, at some point in TIME, we have to take the training wheels off and we have to allow those COUNTRIES to STAND on their own two FEET.

I daily disconnect and read a good book or listen to a good sermon or CALL a friend or my mom and talk on the phone with my feet up. I also TAKE BATHS with BATH salts that I make myself.
