I'll never forget the day that I was told I would have to have a mastectomy. My reaction to the words was total denial.

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.

God knows your every need.

A pier is a disappointed bridge

What I've seen in my own life is that when I get something important done it's because of a lot of other people - some who get credit, some who don't.

Sometimes the truth is too simple for intellectuals.

Be willing and unafraid to write badly, because often the bad stuff...forms a base on which to build something better.

Nelson Mandela said: 'It always seems impossible until it's done.' Peace is possible.

If I find God's mobile number, I wouldn't call Him, that would be too expensive!

F**king Jews...the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.

Let me be more aggressive: we are largely better at doing than we are at thinking, thanks to antifragility. I’d rather be dumb and antifragile than extremely smart and fragile, any time.

As a kid, I think people would have described me more as a goofball, or being energetic. But I always loved parodies; I loved spoofing things.
