“I don’t think anyone knows as much about what’s right for me as I do.”

You really have to look inside yourself to find your inner strength.

There’s a hero if you look inside your heart. You don’t have to be afraid of what you are.

I work myself into the ground. But I think I’m a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.

Pregnancy was probably the best and the hardest thing I’ll ever go through. I know for a lot of women, it can be wonderful and relatively easy.

You can fight against people, and fight to the death, but can’t control the world.

In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best.

I know you’re shining down on me from Heaven, like so many friends we’ve lost along the way. And I know eventually we’ll be together, one sweet day.

The best part of making music, for me, is collaborating and working with new people and fresh sounds and all those things that get people excited to continue in this business that we all love so much.

If you see me as just the princess then you misunderstand who I am and what I have been through.

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in, changing you with the tide.

You can’t live with regrets. It’s about the journey.

If you just believe in me. I will love you endlessly.

See, I’m looking for a man that’ll rub me slow, make me sing real high when he goes down low.

I always felt like the rug could be pulled out from under me at anytime. And coming from a racially mixed background, I always felt like I didn’t really fit in anywhere.

I’m not one of those people that goes into details of my personal life on national TV to get attention. Some things are better left unsaid.

The right of voting for representatives is the primary right by which other rights are protected. To take away this right is to reduce a man to slavery, for slavery consists in being subject to the will of another, and he that has not a vote in the election of representatives is in this case.

Someday is a romantic lie, right now is an urgent truth.

It’s unarguable that the right shoes can really add elegance to an outfit and to the person who’s wearing them. Take a pair of high heels, for instance. Suddenly, you’re looking taller, shoulders back, body curved.

Rights are not gifts from one man to another, nor from one class of men to another. It is impossible to discover any origin of rights otherwise than in the origin of man; it consequently follows that rights appertain to man in right of his existence, and must therefore be equal to every man.

I seem to have no dress sense at all. I’m always being listed in New York among one of the ten worst dressed men of the year. Someone once described me as “looking like an unmade bed.” He was right!

Women simply need to know the right technique of shaving to get the best results.

When you don’t come from a film background, getting the right debut is important and difficult, as you don’t have the sensibility to know what will work and what won’t.

Salt is so humble that when something goes wrong, it takes the blame, and when everything goes right, it doesn’t take credit.
