“I just always knew I was going to be a star. I was always going to be rich so I could buy things for Mommy and Daddy, so that I could buy them a big house and we could have things.”
“I don't think I'm a great actress. I think I can act or I can react. Coming from a musical background and being a dramatic singer and writer, when I write stuff I really feel it. So I sing it like it comes from here. That's how I do the acting.”
“I don't judge. I'm not God. We're supposed to be less judgmental and accept and be kind and love one another.”

“They have exiled me now from their society and I am pleased, because humanity does not exile except the one whose noble spirit rebels against despotism and oppression. He who does not prefer exile to slavery is not free by any measure of freedom”
“So few want to be rebels anymore. And out of those few, most, like myself, scare easily.”
“If we did ten things, nine were bad and got disclosed by the newspapers, we will be over. Then I will go, to the countryside, lead the peasant and revolt. If the Liberation Army do not follow me, I will get the Red Army.”
More on Assertiveness
“I love saying 'yes' and I love saying 'please.' Saying 'yes' doesn't mean I don't know how to say no, and saying 'please' doesn't mean I am waiting for permission. 'Yes please' sounds powerful and concise. It's a response and a request. It is not about being a good girl; it is about being a real woman.”
“Saying "yes" doesn't mean I don't know how to say no, and saying "please" doesn't mean I am waiting for permission.”
“I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. Just PUT THE BLOODY METER ON.”
