When I realized this fear, this uncertainty, this potential of dying, I guess I needed something greater to hold onto than what we can see, touch, and smell-and that was the spiritual aspect of God, the nature of God and his relationship to humans.

At 11 years old I made a very definitive decision. And my decision was that I wanted to be happy.

If you have a sense of yourself, your mission, your belief system, those things will lead you to success

I'm a woman who was raised to believe that you are not complete unless you have a man. Well, in some ways it's true. I am a feminist to a point. But I'm not going to deny the fact that I love to be with men.

I'll have a lot of wrinkles on my face, but I feel like my heart will be fat and full.

I noted that people are happy here in India. When I went back home, people had everything in the materialistic sense and were surrounded with abundance, but they were not happy.

the smile you give is the smile you get back.
