I was raised with a huge Armenian influence, always hearing stories of Armenia, celebrating Armenian holidays.

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 love the sun but don't have the time to get a good tan and keep it year-round, so I am a huge fan of tanning products.

I think I'll always be a hopeless romantic.

God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.

The philosopher cannot seriously put to himself questions that his civilization has not lived.

...they say if you don't vote, you get the government you deserve, and if you do, you never get the results you expected.

On one side, the forces of destruction, the forces of the desert, have risen, and on the other hand stand firm the forces of civilization, but we will not be stopped.

When I was young, I thought banks were there to protect the assets of people who had justified concerns, because of their experiences under communism for example.

Let us be a little humble; let us think that the truth may not perhaps be entirely with us.

The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate 'apparently ordinary' people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.

I'm psychotically involved in every tiny little aspect. That's just the way I've been about everything my whole life.

The other day I ... no wait, that wasn't me.

Hearing the blues changed my life.
