“I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute. Now, I would like to make a difference God has given me this new chance.”

Life is too short to blend in.

I’m not like anybody else. I’m like an American princess.

I think I am a good role model, and a lot of mothers come up to me and they’re really happy, and I think if any girl follows their dreams then anything can happen to them.

I’m very scared to do it. What if I don’t come back? With the whole light-years thing, what if I come back 10,000 years later, and everyone I know is dead? I’ll be like, ‘Great. Now I have to start all over’.

You need to look like a lady at the Oscars. Otherwise, Joan Rivers will tear you apart. Then again, you aren’t really anyone till Joan Rivers tears you apart.

The only rule is don’t be boring.

I don’t really think, I just walk.

Yes, I’ve kissed a lot of guys. I like to kiss, but that’s it. I don’t go home with anyone. I sleep with my animals, like my baby monkey, Brigitte Bardot.

I can’t stand black guys. I would never touch one. It’s gross.

No matter what a woman looks like, if she’s confident, she’s sexy.

I’m a really good person. I’m down to earth. I have a big heart. I have feelings. And I’m just like everybody else.

In these trying economic times, I believe the White House should have a minimalist touch: open floor plan, glass and steel, throw pillows, and an infinity pool.

I think it’s important for girls to be confident. Believe in yourself and everybody’s hot.

If you have a beautiful face you don’t need fake boobs to get anyone’s attention.

First, I think of myself as a brand, a businesswoman. Musician is something I just do because it’s my passion – I love it and it’s something I do for fun. I love music and I love to make people dance.

At parties, everyone always thinks I’m drinking, but actually I rarely drink. I live on energy drinks, basically. I love vitamin water.

A man ought to get all he can earn. A man who knows he’s making money for other people ought to get some of the profit he brings in. Don’t make any difference if it’s baseball or a bank or a vaudeville show. It’s business, I tell you. There ain’t no sentiment to it. Forget that stuff.

I never said to be like me, I say to be like you and make a difference.

There is no difference between the worry of a human mother and an animal mother for their offspring. A mother’s love does not derive from the intellect but from the emotions, in animals just as in humans.

The pessimist borrows trouble; the optimists lend encouragement.

I never said to be like me, I say be yourself and make a difference.

Temperament is something that is an integral part of the artist. Not temper, temperament. There is a vast difference.

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.
