I promote a healthy lifestyle.

Remember, people only rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade.

If I don't like something that's going on in my life, I change it. And I don't sit and complain about it for a year.

I've made mistakes in my life for sure.

Embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, "I'm curvy, and I'm proud of it now".

I'm not trying to influence anyone else; I'm not saying, "Do what I do." I think it's a little pretentious to say, "I'm a role model"; I would never say that, and I don't think of myself that way.

I love when people underestimate me and then become pleasantly surprised.

It's time to recognise the Armenian Genocide.

Take and chance and don't ever look back. Never have regrets, just lessons learned.

I love the sun but don't have the time to get a good tan and keep it year-round, so I am a huge fan of tanning products.

I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic.

A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.

We turn pain into suffering by adding on all kinds of beliefs, interpretations and judgments to it.

Happiness is a how; not a what. A talent, not an object.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

I think that all writers feel alienated. ... I know that I do. ... I still feel, as I think most creative people do, absolutely isolated.

I'm not that interested in female superheroes.

Only one fellow in ten thousand understands the currency question, and we meet him every day.

The realist lies for advantage. The fantasist lies to give his dreams a flavor of reality.

A transvestite spends her entire life trying to look as feminine as possible and I have clearly spent mine celebrating my masculinity.

The bashful beggar has an empty purse.
