Money, credit scores, material things don't matter. Life & death, your family & friends, once they're gone it's irreversible. Don't forget.

Life is not having, it's wanting. Life is not taking, it's giving. Life is not dying, it's living.

Time is old. Life is short. Only this moment is guaranteed to you. Fight hard to do the things you dream of. You may not have another chance.

If you reach for the stars you may find yourself touching the sky.

Sometimes you have to take a chance and just go with it

I don't want a simple life. I want an extraordinary continuous adventure. That's the problem. I just want more. I want it all & everything in-between.

I have three powers to win the world: my omnipotent love, my omnipresent kindness, and my omniscient compassion.

Honestly, my dating life according to the tabloids is very exciting, and the most hilarious thing is that it's nowhere near as exciting as the tabloids have ever made it out to be.

I define sexy as a real salt-of-the-earth woman who knows who she is, who feels strong and powerful.

Team spirit spurs me on. I've always found it easier to be strong for other people than for myself.

If you didn't have some sense of idealism, then what is there to sustain you?

[Donald Trump's inauguration] will be the first one that I miss since I've been in Congress. You cannot be at home with something that you feel that is wrong, is not right.

Generosity is the only legitimate selfishness.

The artistic temperament is particularly unhelpful if it is just that, with no end product.

And what is the very essence of poetry if it is not this 'metaphorical language'-this marking of the before unapprehended relations of things?

When you can't solve the problem, manage it.
