Be sure of yourself, don't let anyone bully you, be a strong and independent woman or boy.

I don't go tanning anymore because Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning. McCain would never put a 10 percent tax on tanning. Because he's pale and would probably want to be tan.

I like a guy who makes me laugh, doesn't care about the fame, the show, he just likes me for me, he likes Nicole.

I always wanted my own fragrance because I could never find the right scent for me. At home, I would always mix bottles of my favorite fragrances to create a unique and different scent.

I think you see more of like, the party side of me, which I call Snooki, it's kind of my alter ego.

People go tanning because they like to feel tan. You feel more sexy when you're tan and I don't understand why you would tax on that, because you're making yourself feel more happy about yourself.

When you're tanner, you feel hotter and sexier. You should try it

I don't have regrets, there are only lessons. You learn from them, and you become a better person.

It's hard for people to see you one way, but you're really the other way, so it's kind of like, 'Who am I, who are you?' Sometimes, I confuse even myself.

It sucks, but no Long Islands or margaritas when you drink. It has to be straight vodka.

Ten years from now, I would like to see myself successful as a brand, like Jessica Simpson, with babies running around and a beautiful husband and my own reality show

Discipline imposed from the outside eventually defeats when it is not matched by desire from within.

There rolls the deep where grew the treeO earth, what changes hast thou seen!There where the long street roars hath been.The stillness of the central sea.

Remember your grandpa’s saying: kill them with kindness.

The stars have their own language, you know. If you're careful, you can learn it.

I want to go beyond the restrictions of language, religion and caste, and music is the only thing that allows me to do that.

I have known many who could not when they would, for they had not done it when they could.

You want to be happy; of course, that isn't how you get to be happy; because if you want to be happy, you are going to be sitting around being unhappy because you're not happy.

Because I write realistic fiction, I generally don't think about fixing anyone - I just think about how I want to feel at the end of the book - And I try to write toward that feeling.

I can be an incredibly fabulous person, and I don't have to be in the highest heels, the tallest wig, the skimpiest outfit.

The only person who is going to give you security and the life you want is you.
