I hate when women wear the wrong foundation color. It might be the worst thing on the planet when they wear their makeup too light.

Remember, people only rain on your parade because they're jealous of your sun and tired of their shade.

If I don't like something that's going on in my life, I change it. And I don't sit and complain about it for a year.

I've made mistakes in my life for sure.

Embrace your curves and who you are. I feel proud if young girls look up to me and say, "I'm curvy, and I'm proud of it now".

I'm not trying to influence anyone else; I'm not saying, "Do what I do." I think it's a little pretentious to say, "I'm a role model"; I would never say that, and I don't think of myself that way.

I love when people underestimate me and then become pleasantly surprised.

It's time to recognise the Armenian Genocide.

Take and chance and don't ever look back. Never have regrets, just lessons learned.

I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic.

Some of these things are true and some of them lies. But they are all good stories.

Love makes you the richest person in the world, no matter how poor you are.

She read novels. One book after another, sometimes at the rate of one a day, for a solid year. An acceptable form of escape that didn’t leave a hangover.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. But while I'm doing vocal in a studio, I can't stand it.

Leadership does not mean getting people to do their job. It means getting people to do their best.

I remember the first time I heard a teenager say 'LOL.' Just what? But it means 'laugh.' Why don't you just laugh? What are you doing?

Nothing is higher than the love of truth.

It was the first time that I had ever been romantically kissed. It was even better than the chocolate cake.

The one thing I would like more credit for is being part of a movement which involves recognising the importance of plot and asserting that books of literary worth could be written that had plots.
