“I’ve got what my mother’s got – however bloody you are feeling you can put on the most amazing show of happiness.”

Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.

Death doesn’t frighten me.

I want my boys to have an understanding of people’s emotions, their insecurities, people’s distress, and their hopes and dreams.

The greatest problem in the world today is intolerance. Everyone is so intolerant of each other.

You can’t comfort the afflicted with afflicting the comfortable.

Yes, I do touch. I believe that everyone needs that.

The biggest disease this day and age is that of people feeling unloved.

Everybody needs hugs.

All people want to be touched.

I’ve got to have a place where I can find peace of mind.

I’m much closer to the people at the bottom than the people at the top, and the latter won’t forgive me for it.

Being constantly in the public eye gives me a special responsibility, particularly that of using the impact of photographs to transmit a message, to sensitize the word to an important cause, to defend certain values.

It’s not sissy to show your feeling.

I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world. I had tremendous hope in me.

The people that I care about are the people out there on the street. I can identify with them.

Hugs can do great amounts of good – especially for children.

Nobody can understand what you’re feeling unless they burn the way you burned.

Where a man feels at home, outside of where he’s born, is where he’s meant to go.

We recognize that all knowledge is mediated through the body and that feeling is a profound source of information about our lives.

I’m not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything.

Most of the time I do feel like I need someone else when I’m alone. But I can still get by with just my own company and that makes me a stronger person.

I am not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well.

I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another era, another time.

I can never be Michael Jackson or do what he did, but he is definitely a good inspiration: I want to give the kids that feeling.
