People feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you, of any kind of nature — and it won't hurt your feelings — like it's happening to your clothing.
It stirs up envy, fame does. People...feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you--and it won't hurt your feelings--like it's happening to your clothing.
All my stepchildren carried the burden of my fame. Sometimes they would read terrible things about me, and I'd worry about whether it would hurt them. I would tell them: 'Don't hide these things from me. I'd rather you ask me these things straight out, and I'll answer all your questions.'
Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.
You've got a way with words. You got me smiling even when it hurts. There's no way to measure what your love is worth, I can't believe the way you get through to me. ~ Shania Twain If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything

Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely ridiculous then absolutly boring.
I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
It was like working with a little sister.
