“If I could read a book, I’d definitely read one of yours.”

Every girl is beautiful if they have the ability to believe in themselves.

I would say natural is the best way to describe the real me. I’m not always going out or dressed up like I am on the red carpet. On a normal day, I wear normal clothes and wear little to no make-up. I’m always a bit girly, though.

I got my eye on you boy, and when I get my eye on something, it’s like search and destroy.

I don’t think there’s ever been anyone like me that’s lasted. And I’m going to keep on lasting.

I get half a million just to show up at parties. My life is, like, really, really fun.

When you’re in the public eye, it’s wrong to cheat on someone, unless you’re very careful. If you’re normal and no one’s going to know, then do it.

The only people you need in your life are the ones that prove they need you in theirs.

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.

Books are delightful when prosperity happily smiles; when adversity threatens, they are inseparable comforters.

My name is L and I’m from a part of town where clowns, Get beat down and all you hear is gunshot sounds ‘Cause at nighttime niggas try to tax, they’re sneakier than alley cats, that’s why I carry gats

Sooner or later you will find them out; you will discover that they drink, or steal books, or speak sharply to cats. Never trust a man or a woman who is not passionately devoted to geraniums.

Just put it to your personality, put it to yourself, and you develop your workout. Cause those books and things, those are other people’s gimmicks and hypes.

A harsh reality of newspaper editing is that the deadlines don’t allow for the polish that you expect in books or even magazines

Books had instant replay long before televised sports.

I loved the photographs of people wearing elaborate makeup and costumes – they really pulled at me inside. I was in that library every week for years, until I was about 13. I had a rich interior life, because I didn’t have much of a social life.

People are usually surprised to hear this, but I don’t really read children’s books.
