“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.”

Someone once said “The only thing that will be left after a nuclear holocaust is Cher and cockroaches.” I think that’s funny, because, you know, I am a survivor. If I am anything, that’s what I am.

If a man’s a good kisser, he’s a great f-.

Men are a luxury, not a necessity.

Sometimes I feel like an old hooker.

Singing is like going to a party at someone else’s house. Acting is like having the party at your own house.

Some years I’m the coolest thing that ever happened, and then the next year everyone’s so over me, and I’m just so past my sell date.

Honesty makes me feel powerful in a difficult world.

Women, unlike most men, are able to accept mystery, accept whatever comes to them – even if it’s not logical.

I’m still friends with all my exes, apart from my husbands.

It’s my body and if I want to do it like Michael Jackson, I will. My nose bothered me for a long time. Now it’s smaller and I’m happy. If I wanna put my tits on my back, they’re mine!

My mother was the most creative, fantastic person and would come up with great things for us to do. She’d buy art supplies and all of us would sit around painting. I was lucky.

If you’re black in this country, if you’re a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican?

I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.

If you’re waiting for someone to believe in you, you’ll be waiting forever. You must believe in yourself.

Life is about enjoying yourself and having a good time.

I’ve always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me.

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.

I fall in love much too quickly and that results in me getting badly hurt. The problem with love is that you lose control and that is a very vulnerable state to be in.

The lesson being that in life you control what you can.

You know you can’t control me, baby, you need a real one in your life.

Don’t let your mind control you. Control your mind.

In terms of love, you’re not in control and I hate that feeling. I seem to write a lot of sad songs because I’m a very tragic person. But there’s always an element of humor at the end.

If they took all the drugs, nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine off the market for six days, they’d have to bring out the tanks to control you.

Strict exercise of self-control is an essential feature of the Christian’s life.
