“I hate the idea of always having to interpret other people’s ideas and thoughts and words, because I’m very independent and, I guess, a free thinker.”

I haven’t read any of the autobiographies about me.

I have a woman’s body and a child’s emotions.

I’ve only slept with men I’ve been married to. How many women can make that claim?

I used to think that drinking would help my shyness, but all it did was exaggerate all the negative qualities.

I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too – for being married so many times.

I love to be casual and comfortable, but I also love the easy glamour of wearing jewelry all the time.

No matter what happens, I’m loud, noisy, earthy and ready for much more living.

I do enjoy life, I really do. Especially if I wake up the next day.

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.

When we had free time in the Olympic Village, we got massages and rested while watching Netflix.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

The past grew a beast in me so I set it free.

A professional politician is a professionally dishonorable man. In order to get anywhere near high office he has to make so many compromises and submit to so many humiliations that he becomes indistinguishable from a streetwalker.

We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease. And we shall all be hard-pressed to escape the deadly rain of nuclear fall-out should catastrophe overtake us.

I know of no country in which there is so little independence of mind and real freedom of discussion as in America.

No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.

I should have loved freedom, I believe, at all times, but in the time in which we live I am ready to worship it.
