I'm not gonna marry somebody for any reason other than the fact that I've fallen in love with them. Period! Period! And they can eat it, if they wanna think any differently!!

I'm a hypochondriac. Yesterday it was brain damage from the vodka the night before. Today, heart attack - my arm and chest started hurting at the same time.

I'm more of a tomboy than anything and then you see your name on these Top 50 Most Beautiful People lists and you're like, 'What?'

I'll say it loud and say it proud. I'm completely insane.

Something happens to people around fame and power and money - it can bring out the worst and best in people; it's a monster you have to tame.

I knew that because of who I am, and the situation I'm in, that I'd attract more critics than your average person, and that was a little intimidating, but I wanted to get out there and pay my dues.

Anytime I was in Memphis with my dad and at the house, I was happy. That was, like, a given. It was what I lived for. And I still feel the same excitement and warmth.

I was very protective of my father and I didn't like these people who hung around outside all day. They creeped me out.

I want to pave my own path artistically.

I like Jailhouse Rock and Love Me Tender. The black-and-white films. With music, I tend more toward the '70s stuff because I was at the shows for those, so they bring back memories.

I live with the things that I love: art, furniture, and objects that I have collected throughout my travels.

Forgiveness is almost a selfish act because of its immense benefits to the one who forgives.

If you throw stones on my way to stumble and I fall, you try to put extra care when passing my way, lest you stumble and fall.

It is the bullet you don’t hear that gets you.

For greed all nature is too little.

A true libertarian supports free enterprise, opposes big business; supports local self-government, opposes the nation-state; supports the National Rifle Association, opposes the Pentagon.

Rent control has in certain Western countries constituted, maybe, the worst example of poor planning by Governments lacking courage and vision.

I'd like to talk to Sean Hannity in a controlled environment and say, 'O.K., you can't interrupt and jump up and down like a professional wrestler.'

Poverty does not create our social problems...our social problems create our poverty.

Hunting was the labour of the savages of North America, but the amusement of the gentlemen of England.

To read of human depravity in the police reports is one thing, to see it fall like a black shadow across one's life is another.
