“Sick and perverted always appeals to me.”

I always wished that I could find someone as beautiful as you, but in the process, I forgot that I was special too.

I wouldn’t have turned out the way I was if I didn’t have all those old-fashioned values to rebel against.

Papa Don’t Preach

Power without guilt, love without doubt.

We learn our lessons; we get hurt; we want revenge. Then we realize that actually, happiness and forgiving people is the best revenge.

I’m anal-retentive. I’m a workaholic. I have insomnia. And I’m a control freak. That’s why I’m not married. Who could stand me?

Confidence is everything.

We all fall to the floor at some point. It’s how you pick yourself up that’s the real challenge. Isn’t it?

When I’m hungry, I eat. When I’m thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.

Who dares, wins.

I don’t take myself completely seriously. I think that’s another quality that people have to hold on to, you have to laugh, especially at yourself.

If it’s bitter at the start, then it’s sweeter in the end.

Only when I’m dancing can I feel this free.

I still have hope in the goodness of humans.

Artists are here to disturb the peace.

Deep in my heart, I’m concealing things that I’m longing to say. Scared to confess what I’m feeling – frightened you’ll slip away.

There are uses to adversity, and they don’t reveal themselves until tested. Whether it’s serious illness, financial hardship, or the simple constraint of parents who speak limited English, difficulty can tap unexpected strengths.

The cholera had broken out at the post, and five or six men were dying daily.

Diabetes taught me discipline.

First the doctor told me the good news: I was going to have a disease named after me.

Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

Strangely enough, they have a mind to till the soil, and the love of possessions is a disease in them.

I think people are sick of trends changing every six months – not because we’re tired of them, but just for the sake of change. There is so much junk in the world: junk TV, junk movies, all those junk magazines with the same people on the cover.

There is no disease so destructive as lust.
