I wouldn’t give myself any advice, because advice is kinda bullshit. Take a deep breath and don’t take any of it too seriously.
CherCher I wear my clothes, my clothes don’t wear me.
CherCher I never cared about money. I’m not destined to be a rich woman. I’m destined to be a woman who makes a lot of money and never has any. I’ve made millions and millions and millions of dollars and I just spend it.
CherCher I wouldn’t mind living with someone forever. I don’t really want to get married. I don’t see any reason for it. And yet I’m so romantic that every time I think I meet someone I want to live with them forever and ever.
CherCher Nothing lifts me out of a bad mood better than a hard workout on my treadmill. It never fails. Exercise is nothing short of a miracle.
CherCher There is only one value to having the look you have when you are young and no value to the look you have when you are older.
CherCher In my personal life I’m not very tough at all, but in my professional life, having to deal with being a woman in a man’s world, I’m really tough. I never back down from a fight or an argument. I’m willing to stand there toe to toe with anyone.
CherCher All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagination than others.
CherCher I’m going to have wrinkles really soon.
CherCher If grass can grow through cement, love can find you at every time in your life.
CherCher Don’t buy into the idea that women aren’t strong enough to do anything they want on their own.
CherCher You’ve probably noticed already that I’m dressed like a grown-up… I apologize to the Academy, and I promise that I will never do it again.
CherCher Everyone’s got to have a dream. It’s not reaching your dream that counts. It’s going toward them.
CherCher Yes, it’s a man’s world, but that’s all right because they’re making a total mess of it. We’re chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it’s a difficult task, but it’s not.
CherCher There are lots of things that I’d like to be, and nice just doesn’t seem good enough.
CherCher It doesn’t always turn out. It’s not always a happy ending when sometimes you say things that you think, and it goes against the grain of the larger group.
