More from Cher
You’ve probably noticed already that I’m dressed like a grown-up… I apologize to the Academy, and I promise that I will never do it again.
CherCher Everyone’s got to have a dream. It’s not reaching your dream that counts. It’s going toward them.
CherCher Yes, it’s a man’s world, but that’s all right because they’re making a total mess of it. We’re chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it’s a difficult task, but it’s not.
CherCher There are lots of things that I’d like to be, and nice just doesn’t seem good enough.
CherCher It doesn’t always turn out. It’s not always a happy ending when sometimes you say things that you think, and it goes against the grain of the larger group.
CherCher Credibility is to be good. You must be good. That’s all I ever wanted – to be good at what I did.
CherCher I can trust my friends… these people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.
CherCher My mother once said “If you don’t pay attention to age, then it won’t pay attention to you.” And she says it, and it sounds nice, but I don’t buy it.
CherCher I am the girl who everyone said was never going anywhere. I guess I shocked a few people.
CherCher You can’t just sit around and watch life pass you by. You have to keep dreaming. Sonny taught me that, and I intend to do him proud.
CherCher I’ve been screaming at the top of my lungs at my family, ‘Work out! Work out! Old age is coming!’
CherCher Words are like weapons; they wound sometimes.
CherCher I’ve had so many rebirths, I should come with my own midwife by now.
CherCher The truth is that in my job, becoming old and becoming extinct are one and the same thing.
CherCher When you stop trying to find the right man and start becoming the right woman, the right man will find his way to you.
CherCher Donald Trump can’t come up with a hairstyle that looks human, how can he come up with a plan to defeat ISIS.
