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

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

you must enter a relationship with yourself before anyone else

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

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

I'm a virtuoso in my job in that there's not an actor I can't go into a scene with and be absolutely confident that, whatever is required of my character, I can do it.

Bands that I've loved over the years are the ones that have a certain myth around them.

Remember how excited you are when you turn 5 years old. You should be 10 times that excited. Happy 50th birthday!
