“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”

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.

I don’t mind making jokes, but I don’t want to look like one.

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I hate being a thing.

I love to do the things the censors won’t pass.

Maybe I’ll never be able to do what I hope to, but at least I have hope.

Assimilation is much more joyful than conformity,

People had a habit of looking at me as if I were some kind of mirror instead of a person. They didn’t see me, they saw their own lewd thoughts, then they white-masked themselves by calling me the lewd one.

I’ve given myself away, the whole of me, every part.

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.

Always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don’t, then who will, sweetie

I’m a multidimensional person and that’s the freedom of fashion: that you’re able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever.

I think slavery is the next thing to hell. If a person would send another into bondage, he would, it appears to me, be bad enough to send him into hell if he could.

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed.

Every family needs to have one person they can count on when everything falls apart.

Life with another person is always difficult.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

Don’t trust the person who has broken faith once.

There is not a woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence, no matter whether it be from the hand of father, husband, or brother; for anyone who does so eat her bread places herself in the power of the person from whom she takes it.
