you must enter a relationship with yourself before anyone else

what drives you crazy what keeps you up at night

you must understand the difference between want and need you may want that boy but you certainly don't need him

do not look for healing at the feet of those who broke you

if you were born with the weakness to fall you were born with the strength to rise

it takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations

to be soft is to be powerful

accept yourself as you were designed

other women's bodies are not our battlegrounds

i have what i have and i am happy i've lost what i've lost and i am still happy

if the hurt comes so will the happiness

how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you

you are your own soul mate

some people are so bitter to them you must be kindest

if you are not enough for yourself you will never be enough for someone else

you must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first

No-one gets a job at 16 and stays in it until 60 any more; we're connected to more people simultaneously than ever before, whether online or on our phones. We wear so many different hats within one day, one week, a lifetime.

If I were running against Chuck Schumer. I would take every one of his Sunday press releases - and there are 52 for as many years as he's been there - and I would ask, 'How many of the things he said he was proposing became law?' I doubt many.

Quite honestly, I live in California in the off season. Going off to Green Bay is just like two different walks of life - I hunt, fish, practice with firearms. Back in California, it's spend time at the beach, go to the movies.

I have not taken inspiration from the fashion shows. I don't even really go to too many of the fashion shows - and have not for 15 years - because I don't want to be inspired by the same things as everyone else. If everyone is inspired by the same things, then of course, you all do the same pictures.

When I see grace in a woman, that's very sexy. You can tell by how someone moves or their rhythm.

Playing upside down is insane. It's two or three times more difficult than what's normal. Your feet want to come off the pedals, your arms want to drop down - all of your body is fighting gravity.

I have a tendency to go through my life at full speed and as a one-man band, and so I don't generally stop and take in other people enough to develop many relationships. I'm starting to regret that a bit. I want to change it.

The trouble with always trying to preserve the health of the body is that it is so difficult to do without destroying the health of the mind.

My parents are always supportive of anything their kids do. They point out the pros and cons, but they let you make your own decisions, and when it's bad they stick by you.

All through my writing life, I've had this impulse to write autobiographical works.

Most cops are not looking for understanding. They work in a world filled with a sense - real or imagined - of danger lurking around each corner and every hallway. Most cops are merely looking for respect.

Every single record I have is a fossil.

I'm introverted by nature, and I need to have some things of my own.

No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world.

What is the difference between fashion and style? Fashion says, 'Me, too,' and style, 'Only me.'
