“You need to give yourself the time to think freely. I don’t know if that is political. But sometimes things are political because you observe things that are right or that are wrong and you want to speak on them.”

If you try to follow everyone else’s mold, you’ll probably fail at some point because God created us uniquely for a reason.

I feel anger and I feel understanding. It’s a difficult position to be in.

A confident woman is a sexy woman, in my opinion. And I think guys find that to be the same way.

I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences… I’m human, not perfect, like anybody else.

I feel like every woman is a queen, and we should be treated as such, and we should, you know, sort of request that sort of treatment from others.

You can’t let fear paralyze you. The worse that can happen is you fail, but guess what: You get up and try again. Feel that pain, get over it, get up, dust yourself off and keep it moving.

You do silly things for love sometimes and not-so-smart things for love.

There is nothing like a person with confidence, male or female, not conceitedness, but confidence. That inspires other people.

I am a strong woman with or without this other person, with or without this job, and with or without these tight pants.

Living for today will bring about dying for today. You can’t just think, ‘I’m going to die anyway,’ because that’s what’s stopping us from moving forward.

For me, it might sound cliche, but beauty for me really does start on the inside. It’s like a state of mind, a state of love if you will. Then, whatever you can do on the outside is all like a bonus.

Life’s not about sitting at home in front of the TV waiting for your life to begin. Get out there and take some chances.

Don’t you want to know what’s real and what’s not? I remember when I was a kid, you know, this whole Cold War thing. They had us scared of the Russians. So, it’s almost like, what’s real and what’s not?

I like Pirate’s Booty. Prunes and olives, too. I love hummus. I can eat that until I die. I tend to eat mostly organic food.

Business is fun. Controlling your own destiny is fun. Creating an idea and turning it into a movie; finding an artist and guiding their career and bringing them to some type of status – there’s joy in that.

I really don’t know how to be anyone else, and whenever I try to be anyone else, I fail miserably. Or I disappoint myself. It doesn’t build my self-esteem, and it doesn’t help me grow me at all.

So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.

Freedom of conscience, of education, of speech, of assembly are among the very fundamentals of democracy and all of them would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged.

The mind will enchain yourself, others or both. Your heart will set you / them free.

Set yourself free.

Christianity doesn’t deny the reality of suffering and evil Our hope is not based on the idea that we are going to be free of pain and suffering. Rather, it is based on the conviction that we will triumph over suffering.

Freedom that ignores the transcendent difference between good and evil ends in the denial of freedom itself.

If your purpose is to liberate yourself and others into love and freedom, then you should do whatever magnifies the love and freedom in your life and in the lives of whom your actions affect.

I came to the conclusion that I am free to choose my own suffering. But I am not free to consent to someone else’s suffering.
