I also have been called that terrible "N" word straight to my face and not known what to do about it because it was just in like 1993 that someone called me that.

Facials are my biggest beauty indulgence. Looking good is about having a good base. It's about taking care of your skin.

The man for me is the cherry on the pie. But I'm the pie and my pie is good all by itself. Even if I don't have a cherry.

Don't take yourself too seriously. Know when to laugh at yourself, and find a way to laugh at obstacles that inevitably present themselves.

I chose a sunflower because when darkness descends they close up to regenerate. But I really wish I'd never had the tattoo in the first place. Clean, clear skin is always better.

I'm not sad at all about turning 40.

What's the worst that can happen? If it doesn't do well I can put on my big girl panties, deal with it and move on.

There have been so many people who have said to me, 'You can't do that,' but I've had an innate belief that they were wrong. Be unwavering and relentless in your approach.

Sexiness is a state of mind - a comfortable state of being. It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments.

I am a hopeless romantic. And I won't stop till I get it right.

Beauty is not just physical. It's about what you stand for, how you live your life.

If we learn to love someone for their imperfections that reflect our own, we eventually thought that even the most beautiful things are damaged

In MoonlightNoSoft sweet paw on my cheekNoFur curled under my chinJustA sad space left behind - Gray cat gone away. [Ellie's poem]

I took to wearing a black tie known as the Ascot, with long drooping ends. I had seen pictures of painters, sculptors, poets, wearing this style of tie.

The young fancy that their follies are mistaken by the old for happiness. The old fancy that their gravity is mistaken by the young for wisdom.

You cannot perceive what you are not in the vibration of.

God's promises are not always fulfilled as quickly as or in the way we might hope; they come according to His timing and in His ways.

It is wonderful how quickly you get used to things, even the most astonishing.

Everything is danger, but we pretend that it's not.

I would recommend that skeptics devote even more effort than they do now to understanding the reasons why so many people want or need to believe.

No book can be so good, as to be profitable when negligently read.
