I have no aspirations of world domination through the pop charts. None at all.

You cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be yours.

Whatever you are made of, be the best of that.

A man told me that for a woman, I was very opinionated. I said, 'for a man you're kind of ignorant'.

I believe I've always been a big believer in equality. No one has ever been able to tell me I couldn't do something because I was a girl.

I think that people had this idea that I sat at home and sucked on lollipops and ate cotton candy while I watched cartoons - wearing a tiara.

Oftentimes, what you wind up learning is very different than what you expect.

But you have to remember in life that there's a positive to every negative and a negative to every positive.

Your face needs to have character if you're an actor - otherwise you're just a face.

I've always believed in people's capacity for goodness. I still believe that people are good. What I'm not so trusting about anymore is their relationship to their own goodness.

When do I feel my best? When I haven't looked in a mirror for days, and I'm doing things that make me happy.

Against delay. Against the way that seems easier. Against refusal of the burden that is laid on me. Against - well, if it must be said, against trust in the strength and truth of Men.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it.

I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass.

Throughout the day remind yourself that you are moving through eternity. Be focused. Be centered. Be in the now. Know what is going on in the world. Read a newspaper once in a while.

It is the root of all religion that a man knows that he is nothing in order to thank God that he is something.

My life is pretty much an open book.

Don't Wait! Start on your dreams, your impulses, your longings, your special occasions today. Because this is your moment.

I'm sometimes asked about my productivity, which I find a bit embarrassing to be honest. I don't really have a particularly interesting answer to this question.

The ideal ratio is one computer to every five students; we are nowhere close to that percentage in a lot of schools in America.
