Don't depend on other people to be responsible for you. Don't make yourself stressed out over nonsensical things like material things.
I fall in love with myself, and I want someone to share it with me. And I want someone to share me, with me.
I've never felt that fear is my enemy. Fear is my friend. It offers me a chance to stay alert, keep growing, continue creating something new. If you don't take that sort of risk, you learn nothing.
I have used all the manure that has been thrown on me as fertilizer to make me stronger.
A man has always wanted to lay me down but he never wanted to pick me up.
I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.
The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it's going to go and where you'll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don't let anyone deter you from that.
It's best if you can do things with a sense of humor and finesse.
The price we pay for being ourselves is worth it.
It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit.
I had almost three acres of land in Beverly Hills. And I had a big atrium of chickens because I love that feeling of being in the country and living from the soil.
Whenever I walk out on a stage, I'm begging for affection.
Maybe subconsciously I feel I was meant to work hard for a living.
In the '50s, critics used to say I had a 'dangerous' act.
