I didn't just want to be Frank's daughter who sang Boots. I take my music very seriously and studied very hard. It's not a joke to me.

I wasn't accepted because I didn't accept the drug culture that most of my peers were involved in. Now it's like a locked room.

I think most people are aware of the garbage in the tabloids and dont give them a lot of credence.

You keep lyin' when you ought to be truthin'.

You keep thinking that you'll never get burned, I just found me a brand new box of matches.

I can't talk politics with my cousin because he's such a hypocrite. He's against the death penalty and he hanged himself.

Here we supped . . ., having amongst other dainties, a dish of truffles, an earth nut found by an hogg trained to it.

Many hundred-million-dollar Hollywood comedies aren't any good. They're trying to shock you.

You're all so obsessed with other worlds, you're so convinced that this one is crap and everywhere else is great, but you've never bothered to figure out what's going on here!

You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine.
