“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.”

Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

Your clothes should be tight enough to show you’re a woman but loose enough to show you’re a lady

A girl doesn’t need anyone who doesn’t need her

Dogs never bite me. Just humans.

I am trying to find myself. Sometimes that’s not easy.

If I play a stupid girl and ask a stupid question, I’ve got to follow it through, what am I supposed to do, look intelligent?

Everything happens for a reason.

Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything.

I’m pretty, but I’m not beautiful. I sin but I’m not the devil. I’m good, but I’m not an angel.

A smile is the best makeup a girl could wear.

When the time comes for you to make a change or to grow, the universe will make you so uncomfortable you will eventually have no choice.

Some people change when they think they’re a star or something.

A lot has changed since I grew up, but there’s still a long way to go. I don’t think we can move forward with Donald Trump as the president. There’s a disconnect there. We don’t want to regress, we want progress.

You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Resolve to be a master of change rather than a victim of change.

No matter what you’re going through, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and it may seem hard to get to it but you can do it and just keep working towards it and you’ll find the positive side of things.

10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and the remaining 80 percent can be moved in either direction.
