I have moments of weakness, but mostly I brush the criticism off... Who cares if I'm not a size zero? I don't want to be. I love my body; I'm healthy, I work out.

I don't think because I hang out with enough black people, I'm gonna turn black. What kind of rationalization is that? I'm just friends with people that I like. I don't care what skin color you are.

Leopard print has been my thing forever! When I was a teenager my entire room was done in leopard print - it's timeless, chic, and always in style. When in doubt... leopard!

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Never allow anyone to take YOUR spirit away from you.

I don't believe in revenge. When people are bullies it's because of a deeper-rooted issue - either their family life is tough or they're being bullied by someone bigger than they are.

Everyone expects me to be 9 feet tall and weigh 200 pounds [when they meet me].

I always have mini bottles of Unbreakable, the fragrance I did with my husband. I'm Armenian, so I'm oily and always have blotting papers.

It just sucks when you’ve given so much and you realize it still wasn't good enough for someone.

I would surrender my being to see you whole once more.

I love all of my shoes! It is a must to have them color coordinated, and to be able to see each and every one of them. I know exactly where each one lives and I can tell if one has even been moved!

Not to be vain, but I have nice long legs, so I like to accentuate them. Find what part of your body you love most - it can be your arms, your chest, your legs - and emphasize that.

Yesterday is but to-day’s memory and to-morrow is to-day’s dream.

Basic research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

I work hard. I focus on myself and putting food on my dinner table before anything else. I don't worry about other artists. Worrying about the next person in a negative way is the wrong way to be.

As we look forward to the New Year, let's resolve to recommit ourselves to the values we share.

I write for the love of writing. If I never published another book, I would still be writing stories.

Most illogical Irrational nature of our womanhood, That blushes one way, feels another way, And prays, perhaps another!

Eloquence resides as much in the tone of voice, in the eyes, and in the expression of the face, as in the choice of words.

Isolation is devastating to the human psyche.

Snoop Dog is the Phil Jackson of youth football coaches. He ain't going to accept nothing but a winner.

I'm much more interested in making people laugh than getting applause breaks.
