It's my experience that you really can't lose when you try the truth.

I like to be bought flowers and taken out for dinner. I like a man to be a gentleman. I don't like to be treated as if I am brainless. I like to be respected and to give respect.

I don't believe makeup and the right hairstyle alone can make a woman beautiful. The most radiant woman in the room is the one full of life and experience.

Real happiness comes from inside. Nobody can give it to you.

The more famous and powerful I get the more power I have to hurt men.

We Barbie dolls are not supposed to behave the way I do.

It was not always easy because I was always an individual and found it difficult to be one of a group.

To really achieve any level of greatness, you have to be willing to say yes no matter who says no, and to say no no matter who says yes.

Men can not stand the explosive mixture of beauty and intelligence.

This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true. I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age.

I'm very old-fashioned. Occasionally I do wear underwear.

Shepherds, did they but know it, walk through greater halls than kings.

Football teaches you hard work. It takes a lot of unspectacular preparation to have spectacular results in both business and football.

I'm never the kind of person to say what somebody else should do. I'm very much do what you feel to do.

If we look backwards to antiquity it should be as those that are winning a race.

With comedians, you have that understanding that we're trying to get laughs.

When we have a brilliant idea, instead of making others think it is ours, why not let them cook and stir the idea themselves.

My first song was about the smog over Dublin in the 1980s, so yeah, I suppose I was always socially conscious. My first song was not a love song, it was about smog.

Think about every problem, every challenge, we face. The solution to each starts with education.

I once saw John Updike get in front of a crowd and read a story that he'd written in 1958, and I just thought, I can't even look at stuff I wrote a year ago, I can't believe he's doing this.

How very dull our lives would be without literature! How very much dark and poor, how so sad and empty the world would be!
