“Some years I’m the coolest thing that ever happened, and then the next year everyone’s so over me, and I’m just so past my sell date.”

I only answer to two people, myself and God.

I felt impotent and out of control, which I really, really hate. I had to find sanctuary in a place where I could gather my thoughts and regain my strength.

Going hungry never bothered me – it was having no clothes.

I’ve been up and down so many times that I feel as if I’m in a revolving door.

Fitness – if it came in a bottle, everybody would have a great body.

A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn’t mean she can’t have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.

Women have to harness their power – it’s absolutely true. It’s just learning not to take the first ‘no.’ And if you can’t go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

I wear my clothes, my clothes don’t wear me.

So much has been given to me I have not time to ponder over that which has been denied.

The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.

You can’t reverse fame. You can lose all the money, but you’ll never lose people knowing you.

Insult me all you want. Judge me as much as you want. Say what you think, everything you want. But one thing. Dont touch my fans.

We do not have to become heroes overnight.

If I blow my nose, it gets written all over the world.

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

I don’t want to write an autobiography because I would become public property with no privacy left.
