“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.”

I’ve never compromised who I am not ever. If I’ve gotten anywhere in my life it’s been on my own merits.

I’m scared to death of being poor. It’s like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It’s my pet paranoia.

Unless you’re willing to look a little foolish, forget the possibility of becoming great.

The only thing in the world you can change is yourself and that makes all the difference in the world.

If you can’t go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

I think that the longer I look good, the better gay men feel.

Come hell or water high you’ll never see me cry this is our last good bye.

People are negative no matter what you do.

It’s a dirty job being ridiculous, but I’ll do it.

Anyone who’s a great kisser I’m always interested in.

I don’t need a man. But I’m happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don’t fold up and die if I don’t have a man around.

Husbands are like fires – they go out when they’re left unattended.

If it doesn’t matter in five years, it doesn’t matter.
