“I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we’re smarter-what a joke.”

I tend to put my foot in my mouth. I’m not good at being diplomatic. I tend to piss people off.

My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.

My definition of freedom is knowing who you are, and then being it. No matter what anyone else is doing. And naked parties of course.

For the first few years we paid all the bills first and divided what was left as salary. Sometimes that was $50 a week.

Right from the start, you were a thief, you stole my heart.

I’m such a control freak, and it’s very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me.

I believe there’s 31 flavors to be tasted. I’m just living my life. I don’t want to be your kind of good.

My mom took all of my behavior personally. Everything I did she thought it was an act of rebellion against her. But it was just me being me.

I think the best day will be when we no longer talk about being gay or straight. It’s not a gay wedding, it’s just a wedding. It’s not a gay marriage, it’s just a marriage.

My parents divorced, and I didn’t have much of a daddy growing up.

I don’t try to be candy coated. I don’t try to walk on eggshells. I am what I am. Love me or hate me.

Consumerism diverts us from thinking about women’s rights, it stops us from thinking about Iraq, it stops us from thinking about what’s going on in Africa – it stops us from thinking in general.

I like feeling strong. It keeps my mental floor higher.

Record companies, I found out, can put out compilations without your permission.

I’m very involved with PETA – People for Ethical Treatment of Animals – and Greenpeace and a lot of women’s shelter and clothing giveaways.

There’s something about breaking up with someone – you just look hotter than you ever did before.

Like a wild cat in the Serengeti, I land on my feet and transcend reality.

It was bad enough to have toppled from the Olympic heights to make my living competing with animals. But the competition wasn’t even fair. No man could beat a race horse, not even for 100 yards.

I think that sacrifices of animals in the name of religion are barbarous and they degrade the name of religion.

It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.

The Queen has done all she could on the dreadful subject of vivisection, and hopes that Mr. Gladstone will speak strongly against such a practice which is a disgrace to humanity.

Yes, I’ve kissed a lot of guys. I like to kiss, but that’s it. I don’t go home with anyone. I sleep with my animals, like my baby monkey, Brigitte Bardot.

I’m a cat, and you have to earn my trust.

When I was little, I would always lie about the stupidest things. In kindergarten or first grade, I would tell people I had tigers living in my attic and a room full of gold.
