What I don't like is what it sometimes takes to win. Backstabbing. Manipulation. Out-and-out bribery once in a while, and not always the monetary kind.

Anger is easier than forgiveness.

When did creating a flawless facade become a more vital goal than learning to love the person who lives inside your skin?

Living means taking chances. Risks. Playing safe all the time is being dead inside, even if you happen to still be breathing.

Nobody seems to care that with every push to live up to their expectations, my own dreams vaporize.

Perfection is a ridiculous goal because there is no such thing. Real beauty is what you are inside.

What we strive for, ultimately, is love. You won't find real love because you're beautiful on the outside. It is drawn to inner beauty. Spend your energy crafting that, and you will know true love.

Tying the know means slipping a noose around love and choking it to death.

The motives that lead us to do anything might be arranged like the thirty-two winds and might be given names on the same pattern: for instance, "bread-bread-fame" or "fame-fame-bread."

I was never one of those girls who dreamt of Prince Charming. To piss off my mom, I would say, 'I'm never having kids and I'm going to be a fabulously rich old maid with cute butlers and dogs.'

I think of myself as a comedian who has the pleasure of writing jokes about things that I actually care about.

Amsterdam has more than 150 canals and 1,250 bridges, but it never seems crowded, nor bent and bitter from fleecing the tourist.

Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.

Flattery labors under the odious charge of servility.

It's not hard to draw from within yourself to play someone protective of her daughter. I have animals and I'm a daughter, sister, wife, aunt and friend, and I can be fiercely protective.

If you’re alive, you can’t be bored in San Francisco. If you’re not alive, San Francisco will bring you to life.

The Scottish Parliament, adjourned on the 25th of March 1707 is hereby reconvened.
