I'm too busy putting my energies into my performance to be a diva.

I've always been the breadwinner and men don't like that. They turn on you. They bite the hand that feeds them. Eventually, too, they become very jealous of the love one has with an audience.

I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.

Diamonds never leave you... men do!

It's hard for a man to live with a successful woman - they seem to resent you so much. Very few men are generous enough to accept success in their women.

I'd like to run away From you, But if you didn't come And find me ... I would die.

You don't get older, you get better.

No wedding bells for me anymore. I've been happily married to my profession for years.

I hate it when people come up to me when I'm eating.

I wanted to be a model; I wanted to be a nurse; I wanted to be so many things, almost anything but being part of show business.

How oddly do life and death jostle each other in this strange world of ours! How nearly allied are smiles and tears!

Positive thoughts multiply, They bring their own images of joy Which erase dark shadows, Bring happiness.

Everyday I look in the mirror and make sure I don't pinch myself so I don't wake up. I don't take it for granted. All the time I say: 'Why me?'

I am writing my second novel for children for Simon and Schuster.

I want to stick around with the big boys. I don't want to be in the old folks home.

I’m waiting for my princess to come I just have to be patient.

That doesn't mean that you should just sit back and just let accidents happen to you. No, you have to go out and cause them yourself. That way you're in control of the situation.

Peace is always possible but we have to seek it. Let us pray for peace.

The power of the individual is as powerful as the universe is infinite.

I feel that by writing I am doing what is far more necessary than anything else.

In a word, we may gather out of History a policy no less wise than I eternal; by the comparison and application of other mens fore-passed miseries with our own like errours and ill-deservings.
