We're extremely young and have the potential to be anything that we want to be.

It's okay to be you. You don't have to try to be anybody else. Whatever you are, however you are, it's fine. Nobody's perfect.

I think it's great to be flawed. I am hugely flawed, and I like it this way. That's the fun of life. You fall, get up, make mistakes, learn from them, be human and be you.

Mary Kom is a woman who stood up alone in a male-dominated field and fought for her rights and what she believed in. Her story is an inspiration for every young person out there.

The harder [role] the better. Definitely. When somebody turns around and says, "She can't do that," then that's the one I want to do.

I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand.

I know I'm flawed - but perfect is boring anyway! Flawed is good!

As a girl, I am this stupid, emotional, very loyal, sort of believe-in-values-and-principals sort of girl.

I am a very private person. No one ever knows anything about me as I don't think it is necessary. I tell people as much as I want them to know about me.

I live with romance in my brain. I'm a true-blue Cancerian like that.

When I became Miss World, I couldn't believe I had won it. I used to sleep with my crown because I was scared someone would steal it. In a minute the world changed for me.

Number of empty Ben & Jerry's containers: 3 -- two mint chocolate cookie, one plain vanilla. (Who buys plain vanilla ice cream from Ben & Jerry's, anyway? Is there a greater waste?)

But that woman is an encyclopedia!Of all vices, ancient and modern, and terribly interesting to leaf through!

Not to engage in the pursuit of ideas is to live like ants instead of like men.

Berlin is all about volatility. Its identity is based not on stability but on change.

Destiny is what every human being creates for oneself. Fate is when you fail to create your own destiny.

A chimp would never plan to pull another's nails out.

My poems please the brave: My poems, short and sincere, Have the force of steel Which forges swords.

Music can shoot through the musician like lightening through the sky if that music is unobstructed by thoughts.

I'm really into Sweet 75 right now, and I dig playing Nirvana, don't get me wrong. Even if Kurt never died, more than likely I'd be in Sweet 75 today still.

Ultimately I want my metal in a bar and not an art gallery.
