One important thing to know is you're still the same person during it. I'm more eager than ever to do what I did. I want to do everything.

I've been accustomed to being famous and having a certain level of attention for 14 years, but in the last few months, it's changed. It's like on the arcade game, I've gone up to the next level.

I've had a lot of tragic hairdos and outfits.

I'm just a natural flirt, but I don't see it in a sexual way. A lot of the time I'm like an overexcited puppy.

You need a lot of luck to find people with whom you want to spend the rest of your life. Some people manage to find their soul mate. Others don't. I think love is like a lottery.

I'm trying to be myself more and more. The more confidence you have in yourself... the more you realize that this is you, and life isn't long. So get on with it!

I have had a holiday, and I'd like to take it up professionally.

When you work in TV, it's such a group effort, it's not about you.

I love to have a bath with beautiful, relaxing music on and have no rush to do anything. It's a wonderful indulgence, and it helps me to calm down and stop my mind running overtime.

The Sun in London ran a front page declaring my bum a national treasure. I really did laugh at that. Its not like it can actually do anything, except wiggle.

Hindsight is illuminating but not always what we want to see.

I never really understood the word ‘loneliness’. As far as I was concerned, I was in an orgy with the sky and the ocean, and with nature.

Life is entrusted to man as a treasure which must not be squandered, as a talent which must be used well.

Introspection is a devouring monster. You have to feed it with much material, much experience, many people, many places, many loves, many creations, and then it ceases feeding on you.

You're wearing that hat? After all the magic I used to make your dress pretty?" ~Howl from the movie 'Howl's Moving Castle

It's about doing it in a way that it can't be done any better. That is the goal every day.

In the long run, stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty.

It may surprise people to know that I advocate the reform of the United Nations, not its abolishment.

The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation.

The stones of a river start out rough, but with the current continually bumping and polishing them, they end up being beautiful.
