My reality is never going to be stick-skinny.

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.

We are all potential of un-excited creativity

You ask any actor - they'll tell you they'd rather shoot on location because you don't have to invent the energy, the energy is there.

Up is down, pleasure is pain, darkness is light, slavery is freedom, madness is sanity.

There are certain things in ancient practices that are not worth adhering to.

Los Angeles was great fun because it was the polar opposite of Moscow in 1980. It was sunny and bright, lots of colours around, whereas Moscow was dark and oppressive.

I wouldn't give up on Russia. I think they have legitimate security concerns from Islamic fundamentalism, not only on their border but in their country.

Go out and do something for somebody. Go out and give something to somebody. It will take you away from yourself and make you happy.

If it takes a bloodbath now let's get it over with.

There is peace in the garden. Peace and results.
