“Look beyond the paint. Let us try to open our minds to a new idea.”

People love scandal; people love drama. They love stripping away the layers to see what’s really in there, and they’ll do anything – as well as make it up – to get it.

I’m just an ordinary person who has an extraordinary job.

I want to go someplace where I can marvel at something.

It’s an exceptional time, and it’s always the happiest time if you can be really present and doing the things that you want to be doing and surrounding yourself with the people you love. So, yeah, I’m in a good spot right now.

It’s amazing what can happen if you just put your arm around somebody. It’s the truest thing and the simplest thing that does the most good a lot of times and I hope that we can all just reach out to each other.

I love to cook, and I love to have all my family around the dinner table.

Something that’s such a joy in my life every day – cooking – is this incredible, horrific danger to women around the world.

Whatever happens is going to happen, whether you’re sitting by the phone anxious and worried about it or not.

When you end up happily married, even the failed relationships have worked beautifully to get you there.

It’s very important that we expand our use of clean energy and make a long-term commitment to it.

I think people who come into my home feel comfortable and welcome and loved. And the biggest thing in my living room (the fireplace) is in and of itself an expression of love.

I enjoy hats. And when one has filthy hair, that is a good accessory.

Loving what you do is the secret to everything.

In essence, I owe my career to Garry Marshall. There was no known reason for him to hire me for ‘Pretty Woman.’

We all need to take a deep breath and think about being a Bush daughter and having that cross to bear. I’d go out and have a couple of drinks too.

The man’s Bush embarrassing. He’s not my president and he never will be either.

I feel it’s my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist and a producer of other artists. You have to keep filling your mind with other music. You have to be ahead of the curve.

There is no matter as such—mind is the matrix of all matter.

When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully.

I listen to different artists. I open my mind to different artists.

The common fluency of speech in many men, and most women, is owing to a scarcity of matter and a scarcity of words; for whosoever is a master of language, and hath a mind full of ideas, will be apt, in speaking, to hesitate upon the choice of both.

A yokel mind loves stories from of old, Being the kind it can repeat and hold.

People in their right minds never take pride in their talents.

The thing about inspiration is that it takes your mind off everything else.
