“If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.”

A smart girl leaves before she is left

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

I restore myself when I’m alone.

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.

Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love.

It’s better for the whole world to know you, even as a sex star, than never to be known at all.

The true things rarely get into circulation. It’s usually the false things.

I don’t want to make money. I just want to be wonderful.

I defy gravity.

They will only care when you’re gone.

Everyone has violence in themselves. I’m violent.

That’s the way you feel when you’re beaten inside. You don’t feel angry at those who’ve beaten you. You just feel ashamed.

A friend tells you what you want to hear; a best friend tells you the truth.

All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same.

A woman knows by intuition, or instinct, what is best for herself.

Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.

The first couple of times I went out and heard my voice or heard people listening when I wasn’t the one playing it for them, it felt good.

All the films are hits before you turn the camera on. It’s only in the execution that they fail. I’ve been less than happy with the way a couple of films were edited, but it’s a director’s prerogative and you gotta go with it.

I have been taken for a ride a couple of times. I’ve been hurt by people who I’ve had a 90 percent possibility of being hurt by.

In a couple, sometimes, one or both people have to give up their personal life, dreams and ambitions for the good of the family.

I try to take a couple of young guys under my wing and tell them what I’ve learned, because you can’t teach nobody if you don’t know anything.

Some guys may play around and say a couple of things, but if I say it, I mean it. I may laugh, it may be funny, but if I say I’m going to get you, I’m going to get you.

I don’t care who anybody sleeps with. If a couple has been together all that time – and there are gay relationships that are more solid than some heterosexual ones – I think it’s fine if they want to get married. I don’t know how people can get so anti-something.

I wanna be your t-shirt when it’s wet, I wanna be your shower when you sweat.
