I do want love. Genuine love.

Ain't nothing coming easily in this life. Sometimes you gotta work, you gotta grow and it gotta hurt.

Beauty is an understanding of what you have, and it's forgiving yourself of what you don't have, and appreciating all of it.

Just because you have a nightmare doesn't mean you stop dreaming.

Find new treasures in yourself. Love doesn't die. Love is unyielding. It's going to come back. The more you love and appreciate yourself, the more prepared you are when the real thing shows up.

If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.

Saturday Night Live is a show that I think I could have a lot of fun on, just being different characters and maybe singing, too.

I think every individual has his or her own power, and it's a matter of working, taking time and defining what that power is.

I just think it's silly to be stingy with compliments. If you see someone and they strike you as beautiful in any way, why not let them know?

To be a queen of a household is a powerful thing.

Just bc u loved and lost doesn't mean stop loving. If u have a nightmare, does it mean u stop dreaming?

Those who do not know how to live must make a merit of dying.

Mothers, look after your daughters, keep them near you, keep their confidence - that they may be true and faithful.

Stay young and wild as long as you can

You always hope that the cloak of inspiration will fall, and you'll be O.K.

They were like two magnets who couldn't decide whether to attract or repel.

I am simply a book drunkard.

I like plays, movies, everything. It doesn't matter.

All of us make mistakes. The key is to acknowledge them, learn, and move on. The real sin is ignoring mistakes, or worse, seeking to hide them.

I am joined with no foot land-rakers, no long-staff, sixpenny strikers, none of these mad, mustachio purple-hued maltworms, but with nobility and tranquillity.
