A friendship has to be cultivated. A friendship you have to give time.

I went to an Orthodox Jewish children's home that became an orphanage.

I'm not a sex symbol, at least in the conventional sense.

It is good to be Dr. Ruth.

I'm old-fashioned and a square.

I'm never embarrassed to say, 'I don't know.'

I use humor to educate.

There are times when you should never give a cheater a second chance, but there also are exceptions.

When you feel yourself being critical, whether it is of yourself or another person, stop yourself. Look for positive aspects to admire.

I worked at Columbia University's School of Public Health.

I lived, while 1 1/2 million Jewish children died. So I have an obligation to repair the world.

At first I was against Internet dating because there are some inherent risks, but I've seen so many happy couples who've met on the Internet that I've changed my mind.

If someone has gone through a lot of emotional pain, including the loss of loved ones, that person may try to build a shell around his or her feelings to protect him- or herself from the pain.

I certainly believe in equal rights.

I'm not a type of grandmother sitting in a rocking chair. I'm a lot in the theater. I'm a lot at concerts. I'm a lot at friends.' I like to go out for dinner. I don't have to be home one night a week if I don't want to.

I'm all for any place, any way, any media that can help people connect with somebody and not be lonely.

Before I became an orphan of the Holocaust my early family life was stable. I grew up as a German Jew in Frankfurt, and I was in a household with two loving parents and an adoring grandmother who spoiled me. My mother helped my father in their wholesale business and they went to synagogue every Friday.

I want to be like Madame de Stael.

I have in my bones, and in my blood, the knowledge that you have to help the people who are persecuted.

I'm a very lucky mother.
