funny cute hilarious
I'm a godmother, that's a great thing to be, a godmother. She calls me god for short, that's cute, I taught her that.
hurt eye animal
If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal who hasn't done anything? They should use prisoners who have been convicted of murder or rape instead. So, rather than seeing if perfume irritates a bunny rabbit's eyes, they should throw it in Charles Manson's eyes and ask him if it hurts.
fitness health gym
I'm so unfamiliar with the gym, I call it James!
inspiring women eye
True beauty is not related to what color your hair is or what color your eyes are. True beauty is about who you are as a human being, your principles, your moral compass.
perfect life-is
My life is perfect even when it's not.
women book writing
You know, it's hard work to write a book. I can't tell you how many times I really get going on an idea, then my quill breaks. Or I spill ink all over my writing tunic.
bye be-kind kind
Be kind to one another. Bye, bye.
inspiring strong-women compassion
I learned compassion from being discriminated against. Everything bad that's ever happened to me has taught me compassion.
hurt yoga mean
The word "yoga" literally means "uniting", because when you're doing it you are uniting your mind and your body. You can tell this almost immediately because your mind will be thinking, "Ouch, that hurts," and your body will say, "I know." And your mind will think, "You have to get out of this position." And your body will say, "I agree with you, but I can't right now. I think I'm stuck.
regret trying friendly
When I look back on the stuff I used to wear, I wonder why somebody didn't try to stop me. Just a friendly warning, "You may regret this," would have been fine.
real thinking knowing-who-you-are
I think beauty comes from actually knowing who you are. That's real beauty to me.
soup asparagus comedy
I was doing stand-up at a restaurant and there was a chalkboard on the street out front. It said, Soup of the Day: Cream of Asparagus. Ellen DeGeneres.
judging people judgement
I am saddened by how people treat one another and how we are so shut off from one another and how we judge one another, when the truth is, we are all one connected thing. We are all from the same exact molecules.
pain reality animal
I do it because I love animals and I saw the reality. And I just couldn't ignore it anymore. I'm healthier for it, I'm happier for it. I can't imagine that if you're putting something in your body that is filled with fear or anxiety or pain, that that isn't somehow going to be inside of you.
