I know I was an alcoholic because I was preoccupied whether alcohol was going to be served or not.

That's what we're here on this Earth for, to help others.

I have an independent streak. You know, it's kind of hard to tell a independent woman what to do.

The search for human freedom can never be complete without freedom for women.

You can make it, but it's easier if you don't have to do it alone.

A liberated woman is one who feels confident in herself, and is happy in what she is doing. She is a person who has a sense of self-it all comes down to a freedom of choice.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.

I feel it's important to be active. People who retire, sit by their swimming pool and golf course and plan to relax have a very empty life.

Being a lady does not require silence.

My makeup wasn't smeared, I wasn't disheveled, I behaved politely, and I never finished off a bottle, so how could I be alcoholic?

I don't look at what I've lost. I look instead at what I have left.

Celebrate true friends. They are a part of you that always sparkles.

Brushing the clouds away from my eyes, I see clarity in the raindrop and beauty in the first ray of morning sun...Life is strange and wondrous...

People think being famous is so glamorous, but half the time you're in a strange hotel room living out of a suitcase.

All history has been a history of class struggles, of struggles between exploited and exploiting, between dominated and dominating classes at various stages of social development.

Everyone only hears what he understands.

Truth rings no bells.

Men don't cry!' 'Women can't handle money!' What limiting ideas to live with.

One should never lose hope. Homosexuality can strike any straight man at any age.

My childhood was colorfully anarchic and punctuated by a lot of change.

"Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly"... "And if left unresolved you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place."
