You can fool yourself, you know. You'd think it's impossible, but it turns out it's the easiest thing of all.

Everytime I look at a zebra, I can't figure out whether it's black with white stripes or white with black stripes, and that frustrates me.

Love is not a because, it's a no matter what.

The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.

There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations.

There's always going to be bad stuff out there. But here's the amazing thing -- light trumps darkness, every time. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can't stick the dark into the light.

The wolves knew when it was time to stop looking for what they'd lost, to focus instead on what was yet to come.

If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?

‎Pick ten strangers and stick them in a room, and ask them which of us they feel sorrier for - you or me - and we all know who they'll choose.

I haven't had a chance to talk, but I'm confident we'll get a bill that I can live with if we don't.

Live as you like best, and your character will take care of itself. Most things are good for you; the exceptions are very rare.

I represent luxury, and that's what I love.

I feel blessed to have as many comebacks as I can.

My major influence was my ten years older sister.

Perfect love casteth out fear.
