I'm fortunate enough to get hair and makeup every day because of what I do, but it's the same, consistent look. Great for TV, not so fun for a wedding!

With a wedding gown, I have to make sure that people fall in love with it and that the details are very specific and special. There has to be a big story behind it and a great deal of integrity when it comes to the design.

A wedding, a great wedding, is just a blast. A celebration of romance and community and love... What is unfun about that? Nothing.

So many little girls dream about their wedding day. But with actresses, sometimes it's the inverse, because we get to be the centre of attention, looked up and down, dressed up for premieres all the time. The pull isn't quite as great.

I am happy. I have a wonderful marriage. I was in a not-great second marriage for 20 years, then I fell in love with Steve, my first husband, again, and we remarried. I wore the dress from our first wedding in 1982 - it was tight, but I could get into it.

When I got married, I hired a great choir - the St. James Choir, an all-black gospel choir - to sing at my wedding.

An embellished top with slim pants is great, even for a wedding.

One of the great things about being a writer/journalist is that my boss loves me to go out and do features on being someone else. I did a feature on Kate Middleton, where I went to an incredible fancy state home in the countryside, put on a wedding dress and posed for engagement pictures with a fake Prince William.

It's always great to have things from France at a wedding. It's symbolic of style, of culture, of taste.

It happened in Miami, in Coral Gables, a great big ol' Cuban wedding. It was pretty intense.

That to me was the most poignant part of Diana's wedding; as she was walking up the aisle and her eyes were going left to right, looking at people and smiling in the way that Diana did - and that diamond tiara glittering like mad. It was great.

Fantasies can be great, but we shouldn't make the wedding a fantasy, because the wedding is the gateway to married life. It shouldn't be a moment of illusion; it should be a moment of preparation.

Women who marry early are often overly enamored of the kind of man who looks great in wedding pictures and passes the maid of honor his telephone number.

I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.

January is the best time of year for gym owners. You all come. It's great! And then, by Valentine's Day, you're not coming in anymore.

I think that Valentine's Day is only as good as you want it to be. You know, I don't think it should be anything fancy, nothing crazy. As long as you're spending time with that person that's special, I think that's a great Valentine's Day.

Where there is great love, there are always wishes.

I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself, I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or prettier shell than ordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

Plato is my friend; Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.

Truth is a great flirt.

A man who always speaks the truth wholeheartedly is greater than those who do penance and deeds of charity.

When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute.

It is a most certain truth, that the richer we see ourselves to be, confessing at the same time our poverty, the greater will be our progress, and the more real our humility.

To what greater inspiration and counsel can we turn than to the imperishable truth to be found in this treasure house, the Bible?
