No lifes worth more than any other no sister worth less than any brother.

Anything outside marriage seems like freedom and excitement.

Thankfully, beauty is easier to remove than apply, and a swipe of demaquillage in the right direction and you are you once again.

It used to be that people needed products to survive. Now products need people to survive.

Marriage equality is the law of the land. Officials should be held to their duty to uphold the law-end of story.

Starting in music, where I get a chance to connect with the lyrics of a song, I learned so much about performing on stage and connecting to your audience and to what you're singing about. Singing is very emotional. Every song has its own purpose.

My heart pumps yet the poison draught of you.

I like small, domestic stories.

Creative freedom is a huge carrot.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

People know that I am a very good author. But they would rather read what I have to say about the next election.

When you work with somebody else, you automatically get a mixed voice. You hope it will benefit the story. But you don't know what the result will be.

I still dance, probably three times a week, unless I'm working on a crazy job, and then I just don't have any free time at all.

True economy means the wisest expenditure of what we have, everything considered, looking at it from the broadest standpoint. It is not a good thing to save a nickel at the expenditure of twenty-five cents' worth of time.

France has not only built a bureaucratic barrier against American culture, it has constructed a notorious intellectual case against it as well. The French spend hundreds of millions of dollars subsidizing film production, extend interest-free loans to designated filmmakers, and have placed quotas not only on imports but on television time.

The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.

It's always been a struggle to differentiate myself, but I like my parents. I enjoy doing events with them, and I don't feel I should purposely avoid something just for the sake of being different.
