I'll say it again, for every moment you're with the wrong person, you are robbing yourself and the right person of the opportunity to find real happiness.

Never play the Devil's Advocate. Your words could be the difference between success and failure in someone else.

I was thinking about picking up kayaking, but I didn't want anyone to think I had herpes.

I used to dream of a week-long beach vacation with white sand under my toes... right now, I'd settle for 48 hours at a Motel 6 with some Lysol and a UV lamp.

I think we, sometimes, try to fill a void with so many other things that we make the wound deeper & prevent it from ever healing properly.

Your past doesn't define you. Only your present and your future. If your life is screwed up, stop making excuses. What are you going to do about it today?

If it isn't going to matter to you in 5 years, quit stressing about it. (Also, quit b*tching about it. It might matter when you're all alone in 5 yrs because you're annoying now.)

It's nice to feel needed... it's better to feel wanted.

As a kid, I dreamed of a knight in shining armor coming to rescue me. Now, I just dream of equal pay for equal work.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life, and if you screw that up, you can start again tomorrow.

There is no fate... no predestination... no luck. Don't use that as an excuse to not live the life you want. Work for it. You make your future - no one else.

Take a deep breathe and thanks for everything you have.

Hegel used to say that the familiar, precisely because it is familiar, remains unknown. That’s why we don't know so much about stupidity.

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than to be crowded on a velvet cushion.

A foreign ideology cannot be introduced into Chechnya - were it through an Arab or al-Qaeda. Our experience is rich and long enough for us to be Muslims and know what jihad is.

You can't please everyone, nor should you seek to, because then you won't please anyone, least of all yourself.

I'm old, I'm rich and I'm tired.

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... and it was devastating.

One of the best ways to celebrate righteous history is to make more of it, make more righteous history!

Greatness, thou gaudy torment of out souls, The wise man's fetter, and the rage of fools.
