Being a woman is hard work.

I always felt, if I can get to a library, I'll be OK.

Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.

I am not competing with anyone other than myself. I want to be excellent at whatever I do.

I made the decision to quit show business. Give up the skintight dresses and manicured smiles. The false concern over sentimental lyrics. I would never again work to make people smile inanely and would take on the responsibility of making them think.

Exchange love for hate...Thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising.

If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self.
