“I am not a victim of emotional conflicts. I am human.”

One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I’m a woman. That is the way all females should feel.

To all the girls that think you’re fat because you’re not a size zero, you’re the beautiful one, it’s society who’s ugly.

I don’t forgive people because I’m weak, I forgive them because I am strong enough to know people make mistakes.

Dreaming about being an actress is more exciting than being one.

Love in this dying world but the simple word “love” itself already died and went away.

You deny your own values and opinions, and you adopt a personality that isn’t you.

I’ve often stood silent at a party for hours listening to my movie idols turn into dull and little people.

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.

I could never pretend something I didn’t feel. I could never make love if I didn’t love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.

When you’re young and healthy you can plan on Monday to commit suicide, and by Wednesday you’re laughing again.

All men are the same. They just have different faces so that women differentiate them.

I do what I like, I like what I do.

I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.

A wise girl knows her limits, a smart girl knows that she has none.

The thing I want more than anything else? I want to have children. I used to feel for every child I had, I would adopt another.

We should all start to live before we get too old.

If this is a real work for God it is a real conflict with Satan.

People don’t behave in angry ways unless they are feeling stressed and conflicted too.

Remember, conflict doesn’t always mean we have to fight against something and tear it apart. Conflict can also mean we’re fighting for something to make it even better and stronger than it’s ever been.

Perhaps one day, all these conflicts will end, and it won’t be because of great statesmen or churches or organisations like this one. It’ll be because people have changed. They’ll be like you, Puffin. More a mixture. So why not become a mongrel? It’s healthy.

I see no contradiction between Buddhism and Christianity. I intend to become as good a Buddhist as I can.

In a word, growth and improvement can come through pain and conflict.

All of my books deal in a very rough, rude fashion with subjects about which there are great conflicts of opinion.

History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict.
