You're not going to find a man whose socks don't get dirty or who doesn't snore.

Women today have more of an overview of their lives and how marriage is or is not a part of it.

I've been in a serious conversation with one of my children, and a fan has come up. I've been in a public bathroom and had the hand come under the stall with a paper and pen. That sort of thing anybody can live without.

Three-quarters of the world's population doesn't have enough to eat!

I like music to soothe me.

I'm a very private person, and when I leave the stage, I leave the stage.

Please don't ask me any questions about the politics of 30 years ago.

There is a wealth of twentieth century music that is being re-discovered by a generation that hasn't heard it.

Believe it or not, most people think of me as a recording artist, but actually the way I think of myself and the way I earn my living is as a performing artist.

I couldn't do anything. I'd work in a department store for a couple of weeks, but I couldn't hack it. I couldn't even type! I had no skills whatsoever outside of show business.

Stop living a day at a time and stop worrying about age.

Depression, as far as I'm concerned, is just a waste of time.

It took me a year to really learn the American lingo. I really feel for people who are coming here and don't speak English at all. It must be hell.

I don't know if it's a sign of all the chaos that is happening out there or not, but I've lately craved the structure and order of classical music, the balance and symmetry.

I had a career for 25 years in Australia before I ever came to the United States.

I did my own music videos, my own TV commercials.

Yoga is wonderful. It clears up most health problems. It also gives you an overview.

My audience are the same people who bought my albums years ago. These people are now married, with their own homes, their own families. If I'm in concert, I get people now who bring their kids.

If you had told me when I was 18 that I wouldn't have made it until I was 29, I would have said, Forget it.

I thought Erica Jong's Fear of Flying was one of the biggest pieces of crap that I've ever read in my life.

My audience is the baby-boomers, the bulk of the population. This is also a group that is being ignored by most record companies because they're not the Top 40 hit singles market. They forget these people still listen to music.

If I have to, I can do anything. I am strong, I am invincible, I am Woman.

I wanted control over the merchandising, the actual packaging of the product. That was a big factor. The only way for me to exercise control on all those levels was to start my own label.

I am woman, hear me roar.

I believe wholeheartedly in marriage. I don't exclusively mean a marriage with a legal contract, but any relationship that constitutes a marriage because of the quality of their relationship.

To this day I get mail from women who say, I went to law school because of your song. But I would hate to think out of the wide spectrum of things I have done in my career, that's all I would be remembered for.

I think that two people who decide to live together in a marriage situation, they have an obligation to make the marriage work for them.

I worked with my parents on the stage in production numbers since I was 4, but I never really gave much thought to being a performer on my own until I was 12 or 13.

I don't think any one person is the cause of all of someone else's problems.

A lot of women are turned off by the physical appearance of some of the first feminists.

I think back and marvel that my ambitions were so small.

It took so long to make it in America. The year I arrived was a bad year for women singers, the record company told me. So I starved. I lived in a hotel so dreadful I can't even talk about it.

If you tell people your ambitions, they usually laugh at you. When I told my girlfriends when I was 12 that I was going to Hollywood, they all laughed. And here I am!

In the '50s, a lot of girls never saw beyond the wedding day.

I was looking for a husband, but meanwhile to survive, I had to work.

There is no magic person out there, no perfect human being out there waiting for you.

I was very strongly influenced by women's magazines and I really believed tha a woman could not be married and raise a family and have a successful career all at the same time.

I am woman, hear me roar, in numbers too big to ignore, and I know too much to go back and pretend.

Most of the people I know in show business don't need anybody pushing them at all. They're extremely aggressive.

I always believed that I could make it or I would never have spent so many years trying to get here.

Hindsight is wonderful. It's always very easy to second guess after the fact.

You're not going to find a man whose socks don't get dirty or who doesn't snore.

Hindsight is wonderful. Its always very easy to second guess after the fact.

Roosevelt's magic lay in one facet of his personality: He knew how to take the risk. No other man in public life I knew could so readily take the challenge of the new.

Man was born free, and he is everywhere in chains.

Photography is a major force in explaining man to man.

The world is... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions. Truth does not inhabit only the inner man, or more accurately, there is no inner man, man is in the world, and only in the world does he know himself.

I am neither a child, a young man, nor an ancient; nor am I of any caste.

I want the municipality to be a helping hand to the man with a desire of sympathy, to help the fallen when it is not in their power to help themselves.
