Yeah, I'm from Jersey; it's almost like I was automatically born a Nets fan.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.

I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.

I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.

My mom will make me walk the dogs or take out the trash when I go home.

Every woman is a queen, and we all have different things to offer.

No one ever got ahead by going through the motions. You have to constantly be improving yourself. Make your life the masterpiece you want it to be.

I really don't know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn't build my self-esteem, and it doesn't help me grow me at all.

I was too lazy to read, and I was even too lazy to imagine scenarios drawn up by the pictures. They just suggested a flavor to me. I swallowed them whole, like hosts. It was a form of worship.

I've no desire to start a movement, to be the first name on an open petition, or to be the poster child for disgruntled writers.

Suspicion is like the rain. It falls on the just and on the unjust.

If a lot of money goes into the stock market, it'll push up prices, making money for stock speculators. Then the insiders can decide that it's time to sell out, and the market will plunge.

Revolution used to be cool, but now it's out of fashion.
