It just wasn't the fairy tale I had hoped for.

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.

We live in a flash of light; evening comes and it is night forever. It's only a flash and we waste it. We waste it with our anxiety, our worries, our concerns, our burdens.

I think Donald Trump is trying to use populist rhetoric to cover up a right-wing agenda.

You put the tea in the kettle and light it. Put your hand on the metal and feel it.. but do you even feel it anymore?

He that cometh to seek after knowledge, with a mind to scorn, shall be sure to find matter for his humour, but no matter for his instruction.

Now I must give one smirk and then we may be rational again

The worst moment of one's life could be seared into the memory, brighter than any joy.

In friendship, as well as in love, the mind is often the dupe of the heart.

Musicians are like politicians. They're the last people who should be making music, just like politicians are the last people who should be running things.

Some Christmas tree ornaments do more than glitter and glow, they represent a gift of love given a long time ago

Nothing's better than coming away from a film when people don't even recognize you, because you've undergone a total transformation.
