“What am I supposed to do, Sit around and wait for you? Well I can’t do that, And there’s no turning back. I need time to move on, I need love to feel strong. Cause I’ve got time to think it through, And maybe I’m too good for you!”

I’ve always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me.

Hate crimes are the scariest thing in the world because these people really believe what they’re doing is right.

If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.

If you are going to wait for someone to encourage you to do something, you just better give up.

I was a shy ugly kid who led a big fantasy life. I thought I was an angel sent from heaven, to cure polio. When Dr. Salk did that I was really pissed off.

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.

You know, honey, husbands come and go but I’m still Cher at the end of the day.

Until you’re ready to look foolish, you’ll never have the possibility of being great.

One thing about prejudices — once you break one of them, you’re screwed, because then they all have got to go.

People are negative no matter what you do.

Competitiveness is really what it costs you per man-hour to get you what you want. In other words, there’s an education level that plays into the mix and so if it’s inexpensive to buy an hour of real good education in places like China versus the U.S., that factors in.

I think we’re going to find, with climate change and everything else, things like global warming and goodness knows what else and the cost of fuel for a start, that things are going to become very complicated.

Goodness can endure a few moments; holiness is life-defining.

I don’t care how much money you have, free stuff is always a good thing.

Jesus hears us, and in His own good time will give an answer… He may sometimes keep us long waiting…but He will never send us empty away.

Jesus does not offer to make bad people good but to make dead people alive.

If I spread myself too thin, I’m not a good actor, I’m not a good mother, and I’m just really high-strung – and everybody hates me.

Feels good to try, but playing a father, I’m getting a little older. I see now that I’m taking it more serious and I do want that lifestyle.
