I like Marilyn Monroe; she was super glam, weren't she?

If you haven't got love, you've got nothing.

I like listening to old soul music. I like Sam Cooke. When I was growing up, the first things I was listening to was Whitney Houston and Cher. They were really big inspirations for me.

You meet someone, you care for them, and you fall in love; it's what it is.

I don't tend to lie. If I do, it's a little one. Like, 'I'm only around the corner...' when really I'm 10 minutes away.

He (her son) is just like his father, doesn't listen to a word I say!

Lions are born knowing they are predators. Antelopes understand they are the prey.Humans are one of the few creatures on Earth given the choice.

When you turn your back on hypocrisy and do nothing you don’t change the hearts of others you change yours.

In the fury of the moment/ I can see the Master's hand In every leaf that trembles, in/ every grain of sand.

I used to think that real love involved falling for someone; but now I think it usually involves standing for someone.

The Yankees, you see, they're a money team, they're the class of baseball. You don't ever bet against that.

In spite of all that doctors know, and their studies never end, the best cure of all when spirits fall is a kind note from a friend.

Never forget that intelligence rules the world and ignorance carries the burden. Therefore, remove yourself as far as possible from ignorance and seek as far as possible to be intelligent.
