I've been the saddest while I've been the most successful, strangely.

It's okay to be you. You don't have to try to be anybody else. Whatever you are, however you are, it's fine. Nobody's perfect.

I think it's great to be flawed. I am hugely flawed, and I like it this way. That's the fun of life. You fall, get up, make mistakes, learn from them, be human and be you.

Mary Kom is a woman who stood up alone in a male-dominated field and fought for her rights and what she believed in. Her story is an inspiration for every young person out there.

The harder [role] the better. Definitely. When somebody turns around and says, "She can't do that," then that's the one I want to do.

I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand.

I know I'm flawed - but perfect is boring anyway! Flawed is good!

As a girl, I am this stupid, emotional, very loyal, sort of believe-in-values-and-principals sort of girl.

I am a very private person. No one ever knows anything about me as I don't think it is necessary. I tell people as much as I want them to know about me.

I live with romance in my brain. I'm a true-blue Cancerian like that.

When I became Miss World, I couldn't believe I had won it. I used to sleep with my crown because I was scared someone would steal it. In a minute the world changed for me.

You weren't born a quitter, and it's your sole responsibility to never turn yourself into one.

It takes a while for revelry to turn to reverence, and much repetition of truth to eventual turn young zeal into habitual channels for good.

One day, perhaps, you will see for yourself that regrets are as nothing. The value lies in how they are answered.

I was told when I went for a life-insurance exam when I was 18 that I was not likely to live past 50, so I refused to pay the premium.

I still feel like I have so much to learn. I love that feeling, that next time I go to set, I will be terrified again. I don't want it to be any other way.

Where there are friends there is wealth.

What I have learned in my life and work is that the more I am able to be myself, the more it enables other people to be themselves.

If Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan get elected to the White House, Medicare will be bankrupt by the end of their first term.

I don't object to nine aces in one deck. But when a man lays down five aces in one hand... and besides, I know what I dealt him!

I wasn't naturally gifted in terms of size and speed; everything I did in hockey I worked for, and that's the way I'll be as a coach.
