“If you are going to wait for someone to encourage you to do something, you just better give up.”

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.

Everyone’s got to have a dream. It’s not reaching your dream that counts. It’s going toward them.

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.

There are lots of things that I’d like to be, and nice just doesn’t seem good enough.

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.

I am the girl who everyone said was never going anywhere. I guess I shocked a few people.

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.

I’ve been screaming at the top of my lungs at my family, ‘Work out! Work out! Old age is coming!’

Words are like weapons; they wound sometimes.

I’ve had so many rebirths, I should come with my own midwife by now.

The truth is that in my job, becoming old and becoming extinct are one and the same thing.

When you stop trying to find the right man and start becoming the right woman, the right man will find his way to you.

Donald Trump can’t come up with a hairstyle that looks human, how can he come up with a plan to defeat ISIS.

I learned a long time ago that reality was much weirder than anyone’s imagination.

I feel like the thing that I’ve learned a lot is when you’re involved in something, you don’t always get to appreciate it for what it is as much. You’re focused on the details and how you can make it better. It’s kind of torture.

I can see how people work out to feel better.

I’m better than I used to be. Better than I was yesterday. But hopefully not as good as I’ll be tomorrow.

There was a better life out there if I made the right decisions and right choices.

Wherever you get to is better than where you started. To stay on the road is a massive achievement.

I probably do better not being in politics. They have too much control over you when you are in politics.

One of my goals is to inspire everyone I meet to become a better person.
