“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”

I describe my look as a blend of mother goose, cinderella, and the local hooker!

Being a star just means that you just find your own special place, and that you shine where you are.

God made me the way that I am and it’s my business to be true to that.

We could afford the price of peace. Love is all it costs.

I probably have a hundred dresses from over the years. I just can’t seem to let go of my favorites!

The worst thing about poverty is not the actual living of it, but the shame of it.

All that glitters ain’t always gold, sometimes it’s pink!

The magic is inside you. there ain’t no crystal ball.

It doesn’t matter what your dream is, you can make it happen!

I’m just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels. I might look artificial, but where it counts I’m real.

I was the first woman to burn my bra – it took the fire department four days to put it out.

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can’t put a dollar sign on.

Let my song carry me all the way home.

I count my blessings far more than I count my money.

For every drop of rain, a flower grows.

I don’t know what the big deal is about old age. Old people who shine from the inside look 10 to 20 years younger.

I don’t think you need any kind of backing here in the industry. I think what you achieve in your life is the result of your own talent and hard work.

I couldn’t beat people with my strength; I don’t have a hard shot; I’m not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.

Months of uncertainty and hard work, and it all boils down to THIS very moment, the moment that makes us who we are.

Sometimes when you’re putting the work in it just seems so, so hard, and you never know when that work’s going to pay off.

Believe in miracles but don’t depend on them.

Some people say,’Shah Rukh, you work so hard. Why don’t you sit back with a glass of red wine or go out on the terrace for a smoke?’ But that’s not me.

Have you seen a duck gliding smoothly on water? Does it ever look like it is paddling furiously underneath the surface? I don’t have to show that I am working very hard.

It’s pretty hard being a tennis player and Mother Theresa at the same time and that’s just the way it is.
