I feel like I'm at a really happy, good space.

Remember, people only rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade.

If I don't like something that's going on in my life, I change it. And I don't sit and complain about it for a year.

I've made mistakes in my life for sure.

Embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, "I'm curvy, and I'm proud of it now".

I'm not trying to influence anyone else; I'm not saying, "Do what I do." I think it's a little pretentious to say, "I'm a role model"; I would never say that, and I don't think of myself that way.

I love when people underestimate me and then become pleasantly surprised.

It's time to recognise the Armenian Genocide.

Take and chance and don't ever look back. Never have regrets, just lessons learned.

I love the sun but don't have the time to get a good tan and keep it year-round, so I am a huge fan of tanning products.

I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic.

As a result of this greed for power, the poor is not only silenced but also oppressed.

Happiness ... loves to see men work. She loves sweat weariness self-sacrifice. She will not be found in the palaces but lurking in cornfields and factories and hovering over littered desks.

Everybody thinks some times that science is done as a master plan and that somebody like me came from Mars and figured out everything and so on, but that's really not the way it worked.

The English dance unites the guests of an evening by the spell of rhythmical movement into a chance casual community.

To show the relativity of what's good taste and what's not is something I like to play with.

Sometimes the world is just out of our control and we like to blames ourselves so that we can make sense out of it.

The most familiar precepts are not always the truest.

Most mothers kiss and scold together.

What good is religious liberty if it can only be practiced behind stained-glass windows on Sunday?

As much as thinking this upsets me, I'm starting to see that I need the merry-go-round much more than it needs me, and in the end my choice is to hop back on or get left in the dust.
