My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order.

So many of my relatives didn't get a chance to go to school, and my own Daddy couldn't read or write.

I hope people realise that there is a brain underneath the hair and a heart underneath the boobs.

I think my life actually changed at 40. That's when you realize you can't ride the fence anymore. You either have to get on one side or the other. I think some of my best years were between 40 and 50: I got my priorities straight and life is good to me now. It's only other people who say, "God, she's 50 years old!" as if I'm over the hill. I feel like I just started.

Tell me I have to be somewhere, and I'll be there 20 minutes early and stay there longer than anybody else. You hold up a lot of people if you're not on time.

Smile, it increases you face value.

You don't see too many atheists on the deathbed. They all start cramming then.
