My personal style and public style are very different. When I go out, I play dress up.

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.

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.

Especially in music, you wonder, Okay, should I still be doing this? Like, are you overstaying your welcome at the party? But I don't know.

The sublimity connected with vastness, is familiar to every eye.

It is a real tragedy for a nation when three groups of it's people, namely politicians, religious leaders and charity workes, just pretend to be generous.

Katsa watched the long grass moving around them. The wind pushed it, attacked it, struck it in one place and then another. It rose and fell and rose again. It flowed, like water.

It's clear that prevention will never be sufficient. That's why we need a vaccine that will be safe.

Darkest of all Decembers ever has my life known, Sitting here by the embers, stunned, helpless, alone.

Here a pretty Baby lies Sung asleep with Lullabies: Pray be silent, and not stirre The easie earth that covers her.

When there is a voice in a piece of music, we tend to focus on the voice. That is probably something from when we were babies and we depended on hearing our mother's voice.

Play slow and perfect - that’s the way to becoming a virtuoso.
