I went into designing my house thinking I could have some more expensive items because I didn't realize my kids were going to be animals.

I don't go tanning anymore because Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning. McCain would never put a 10 percent tax on tanning. Because he's pale and would probably want to be tan.

I like a guy who makes me laugh, doesn't care about the fame, the show, he just likes me for me, he likes Nicole.

I always wanted my own fragrance because I could never find the right scent for me. At home, I would always mix bottles of my favorite fragrances to create a unique and different scent.

I think you see more of like, the party side of me, which I call Snooki, it's kind of my alter ego.

People go tanning because they like to feel tan. You feel more sexy when you're tan and I don't understand why you would tax on that, because you're making yourself feel more happy about yourself.

When you're tanner, you feel hotter and sexier. You should try it

I don't have regrets, there are only lessons. You learn from them, and you become a better person.

It's hard for people to see you one way, but you're really the other way, so it's kind of like, 'Who am I, who are you?' Sometimes, I confuse even myself.

It sucks, but no Long Islands or margaritas when you drink. It has to be straight vodka.

Ten years from now, I would like to see myself successful as a brand, like Jessica Simpson, with babies running around and a beautiful husband and my own reality show

Choice or no, my heart is his.

You will be your best self when you take time to understand what you really need, feel and want.

Who can sleep on the night that God became man?

I've traveled quite a lot and become a coffee nut.

We all have to work for happiness. And you cannot listen to other people. That is the worst mistake you can make.

I've done lots of films with first directors, so it's not unusual for me.

I would not change very much about the American theater. I marvel and rejoice in the way the country's regional theaters have formed a network that has become, in essence, our National Theater.

I find myself eating different kinds of chicken each and every day, even if it's by surprise.

One of my favorite things is watching my children learn something new. The combination of innocence and excitement makes a parent feel truly alive, even if only for a second and peripherally.

I'm a musician and, just as the critics are hard on me, I'm hard on the critics.
