Depression, as far as I'm concerned, is just a waste of time.

Hindsight is wonderful. It's always very easy to second guess after the fact.

I wanted control over the merchandising, the actual packaging of the product. That was a big factor. The only way for me to exercise control on all those levels was to start my own label.

Sometimes it seems like you and me against the world.

I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman.

If I have to, I can do anything.

I did my own music videos, my own TV commercials.

I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back and pretend.

A lot of women are turned off by the physical appearance of some of the first feminists.

I always believed that I could make it or I would never have spent so many years trying to get here.

I think that two people who decide to live together in a marriage situation, they have an obligation to make the marriage work for them.

Who can understand the profound mystery of God?

Corporate greed controls political will.

Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

One of the problems with fame is they try to pigeonhole you... like I'm stuck with The Greening of America for the rest of my life.

Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.

I believe that a smile is the attribute of a positive attitude, both for yourself and the perception of others.

The key to encouragement is in knowing what gives people courage; what spurs them on to action.

They say that this country is free, and they say that this country is equal, but it is not equal if it's 'sometimes'...We need change now. We demand actions now.

Blaming the wolf would not help the sheep much. The sheep must learn not to fall in the clutches of the wolf.

I'm also very hopeful to continue my literary journey into the realm of children's books. To be able to read my kids a children's book that was inspired by them would be everything!
