“It’s better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone – so far.”

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

In spite of everything life is not without hope.

Who said nights were for sleep?

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.

Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie

If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.

I’ve been on a calendar, but never on time.

A smart girl leaves before she is left

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

I restore myself when I’m alone.

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.

Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love.

It’s better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.

The true things rarely get into circulation. It’s usually the false things.

I don’t want to make money. I just want to be wonderful.

I defy gravity.

I will always love the worst of you.

Please don’t let me sleep. I’ll only dream of her.

The moving finger writes; and having writ, moves on.

It is better to break off a thousand friendships, than to endure the sight of a single enemy.

But I am just a poet who makes art out of broken people.

If a preacher is not first preaching to himself, better that he falls on the steps of the pulpit and breaks his neck than preaches that sermon.

I long for connection but speak only with your reflection.

I never thought I would be divorced.
