“I love rain. It’s lucky, I always think.”

If you need a helping hand, you can find one at the end of your arm.

We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers – but never blame yourself. It’s never your fault. But it’s always your fault, because if you wanted to change you’re the one who has got to change.

What the hell-you might be right, you might be wrong but don’t just avoid.

I have not lived as a woman. I have lived as a man. I’ve just done what I damn well wanted to, and I’ve made enough money to support myself, and ain’t afraid of being alone

Time is the stuff of which life is made.

The time to make up your mind about people is never.

As one goes through life, one learns that if you don’t paddle your own canoe, you don’t move.

Listen to the song of life.

I would have been a terrible mother because I’m basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.

I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old – or being young, for that matter.

To be loved is very demoralizing.

Acting is a nice childish profession – pretending you’re someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.

I don’t care WHAT the say about me, as long as it’s not the truth.

You can say or write anything about me you like. Just don’t, for any reason, ever tell the truth.

I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.

I never realized until lately that women were supposed to be the inferior sex.

What it’s like to be a parent: It’s one of the hardest things you’ll ever do but in exchange it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.

The distance is nothing when one has a motive.

The moment you understand the importance of loving yourself, you will stop hurting others.

We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created.

I knew even then how rare that kind of love is. Only the luckiest people get to experience it at all.

Love is rare, love is strange, nothing lasts and people change.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.

Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.
