“One thing about prejudices — once you break one of them, you’re screwed, because then they all have got to go.”

I wouldn’t mind living with someone forever. I don’t really want to get married. I don’t see any reason for it. And yet I’m so romantic that every time I think I meet someone I want to live with them forever and ever.

Nothing lifts me out of a bad mood better than a hard workout on my treadmill. It never fails. Exercise is nothing short of a miracle.

There is only one value to having the look you have when you are young and no value to the look you have when you are older.

In my personal life I’m not very tough at all, but in my professional life, having to deal with being a woman in a man’s world, I’m really tough. I never back down from a fight or an argument. I’m willing to stand there toe to toe with anyone.

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.

Credibility is to be good. You must be good. That’s all I ever wanted – to be good at what I did.

I can trust my friends… these people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.

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.

People turn to meditation because they want to make good decisions, break bad habits & bounce back better from disappointments.

For years you were my sun. But after nothing was said and done I ventured to other galaxies. Now your memory is nothing but a dim star.

You left and I wanted you still yet I deserved someone who was willing to stay.

I never wanted but your heart-that gone, you have nothing more to give.

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Dream after dream we all lie in each other’s arms.
