“When you’re older, you’ll appreciate the advantages of sleeping alone.”

Michael Jackson is part of my heart. We would do anything for each other.

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they’re going to have some pretty annoying virtues.

You can be fat and still be sexy . It all depends on how you feel about yourself.

Now is the time for guts and guile.

I’ve always admitted that I’m ruled by my passions.

Big girls need big diamonds.

Sometimes I think we know too much about our idols and that spoils the dream.

The things that are important to me – being a mother, a businesswoman, an activist – are all things that were borne out of great passion.

Everything makes me nervous – except making films.

I don’t have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

Just in case you get pneumonia or die. The dangerous bits are always the last days of shooting.

I gave a very dear friend of mine my humanitarian award. Because you don’t need an award to be, or not be, a humanitarian.

I use my fame now when I want to help a cause or other people.

I’ve never thought of my jewelry as trophies. I’m here to take care of it and to love it, for we are only temporary custodians of beauty.

I want it all quickly ’cause I don’t want God to stop and think and wonder if I’m getting more than my share.

Money is the best deodorant.

I think life has got to develop as you get older, and I don’t want to be wandering along doing the same old thing. I want more out of life.

As you get older, you start to really ask questions like, ‘Is this the road I should be walking down?,’ because every decision seems more final, as you get older.

Your kids need your love and attention, and being able to devote myself to them is very fulfilling. As I get older, spending time with my daughters makes things much easier. You learn to put your ego aside.

The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.

Everybody, no matter how old you are, is around 24, 25 in their heart.

Every so often, there is an article saying the old kind of talk show isn’t possible now. In the oldest kind of talk show, you only had the choice of that or two other channels!

I like the old school heavy metal bands like AC/DC and Aeromith. I like that type of music. As the director, I tried to influence the type of music the bands in the movie would play.

Interesting things come your way but as you get older, your lifestyle changes. I don’t want to travel; I don’t want to be in a hotel room away from my family.
