When Ted Williams was here, inducted into the Hall of Fame 37 years ago, he said he must have earned it, because he didn't win it because of his friendship with the writers. I guess in that way, I'm proud to be in this company that way.

I don't think men are that attracted by glamour. I think women are attracted by glamour. I think men are attracted by a sense of friendship.

I love life in spite of all that mars it. I love friendship, jokes and laughter.

One win more, one defeat more. There are other important things: family, friendship, values.

However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.

When you think back in history about producers and artists or writers who've had good synergy, a lot of times they date, or they're married, or there's a friendship and a kinship.

Shows like 'Sex and the City' got women involved again in a political way. They were drawn into the personal stories of the four women who together make up one complete cosmopolitan woman. We want to have community, and the show filled that void in our lives: friendship between women.

Marriage, for a woman at least, hampers the two things that made life to me glorious - friendship and learning.

It's an interesting partnership that we have, friendship, whatever you want to call it. We don't even know what to call it. But we know that it's special and we're celebrating that.

I have two or three guys that I'm really close to. We have a great friendship, and I think that helps our songwriting relationship. It's hard to start... with new people and cover the ground that I've covered with those guys.
