“I love what I do. I have an insatiable appetite for creating things and wanting to get better at what I do and always growing and never stopping. I don’t know. It’s something I was born with. It’s definitely a drive. It’s a passion, and it’s driven for a love for what I do.”

Always remember, you will live, you will love, you will dance again.

With hard work, living a good life, you can do anything. You will be rewarded for that.

I’m not going to make a judgment on plastic surgery because I don’t have to yet. I mean, I’d like to think I’ll feel great about myself and age gracefully, but then I think, Well, what if I do want a little bit of something? I’m open to being open.

When I was in my 20s I wasn’t sure of myself. Now I can really stretch. I don’t have to stay in the box. At this point I can say to myself, So what if I fall, so what? I’m going to get back up.

You have to stand up and say, ‘There’s nothing wrong with me or my shape or who I am; you’re the one with the problem!’

They’re making me out to be a serial marrying person or something. I’m laughing at that.

By nature I am not tough, believe it or not.

I’m a singer. I’m a dancer. I’m a performer. I’m an actress. That’s what I’m supposed to be doing. It makes me a better parent, a better person. I think I can just handle more than the average bear, you know?

The bottom line is that musicians love to make music and always will.

Don’t push your weaknesses, play with your strengths.

I’m feeling lucky like a four-leaf clover.

You’ve got to love yourself first. You’ve got to be okay on your own before you can be okay with somebody else.

I like to maintain a certain sense of fantasy. At home, do I have the full hair and makeup? No. But I might have the nice dress on.

I came from the Bronx and a certain background. I worked really hard. I kept my focus on the right things.

And I love the idea of spending the whole day in bed with my lover.

You have got to love yourself first. You have got to be ok on your own before you can be ok with somebody else. You have got to value yourself and know that you are worth everything.

I was born in London and raised in Rome until I was 4. Then we went back to London, where I went to school.

Incessant falls teach men to reform, and distress rouses their strength. Life springs from calamity, and death from ease.

We are all born in the same way but we all die in different ways.

It is as painful perhaps to be awakened from a vision as to be born.

I don’t think I was born beautiful. I just think I was born me.

In soft regions are born soft men.

It should not prejudice my voice that I’m not born a man, if I say something advantageous to the present situation. For I’m taxed too, and as a toll provide men for the nation.

It is a law of nature that fainthearted men should be the fruit of luxurious countries, for we never find that the same soil produces delicacies and heroes.
