The one thing I need to leave behind is good memories.

Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows.

Life has been good to me. It's not like I missed an awful lot. I had a pretty good lick here. Every moment gets a little more important.

I've fought hard and now I'm weary to the bone.

I've got nine kids, nine dogs, three grandkids - and one in the oven. And three parrots!

There are a lot of things in this world that are more important than being popular. Being true to yourself is one of them.

I'm not the kind of person who gives up without a fight.

I don't have expectations. Expectations in your life just lead to giant disappointments.

I want people to laugh and cry, not just sit and stare at the TV.

I'm going to beat this cancer or die trying.

The tougher the fight, the more important the mental attitude.

I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.

Things change, friends leave. And life doesn't stop for anybody.

I am not the best because I said it, I am the best because I live it

I think because I was brought up in a Christian home, I was kind of careful not to swear in my lyrics.

A word to the wise is enough, and many words won't fill a bushel.

I am not a model the camera just went off by itself

Her grief was so big and wild it terrified her, like an evil beast that had erupted from under the floorboards.

I'm a really restless person; I'm tired of the way I sounded or looked yesterday. So it's hard to hang onto this image of me as this young Swedish female in this world.

If you expect the worst, you'll never be disappointed.

Black employers are just as negative as the white employers concerning inner-city workers.
