I'm an A student. I'm addicted to feedback, and I want to please people. That's sort of how I've gotten to where I am.

I'm not overweight. I flucuate between chubby and curvy.

I want a schedule-keeping, waking-up-early, wallet-carrying, picture-hanging man. I don't care if he takes prescription drugs for cholesterol or hair loss.

There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.

I have a thick skin, which comes from being a not-really-skinny, dark-skinned Indian woman. I haven’t fit in every place, and so I’m kind of used to resistance.

I, like most women, I dress for other women, I think. If I was going to dress for men, I think in general I would be just wearing, like, a fitted black T-shirt and tight jeans every day.

If you are going to ask your crush for their phone number, you are one of the small group of women I am so jealous of.

Running is a quick trigger for a good mood. The great thing about endorphins, you don't have to be in great shape to get them.

Sometimes you just have to put on lip gloss and pretend to be psyched.

There's the psychotic ambitious side of myself that wants a fashion line and my own network and be like a combination of Oprah and Gwen Stefani. And have a perfume. Definitely a perfume.

Right now, I'm hankering for new adventures... Ninety percent of the time I'm having romantic-comedy fantasies in which I'm wearing little pencil skirts and hurrying down to the subway.

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

Love yourself enough to take care of your health of mind, body, and soul as a top priority, then you'lll be fit to face anything.

Those people work more wisely who seek to achieve good in their own small corner of the world ... than those who are forever thinking that life is in vain unless one can ... do big things.

Say: o brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.

Hasty wrath and heedless hazardy do breed repentance late and lasting infamy.

Look for me in the nurseries of Heaven.

Toni Morrison seems to have a lot of faith in people - that's what I mean by gentle power.

I can't' really sing a song unless I really connect with the lyrics.

As to the family, I have never understood how that fits in with the other ideals -- or, indeed, why it should be an ideal at all.
