Let me go over this again on the reclaiming the civil rights movement. People of faith that believe that you have an equal right to justice - that is the essence. And if it's not the essence then we've been sold a pack of lies. The essence is everyone deserves a shot - the content of character not the color of skin.
Songs really are like a form of time travel because they really have moved forward in a bubble. Everyone who's connected with it the studio's gone the musicians are gone and the only thing that's left is this recording which was only about a three-minute period maybe 70 years ago.
Sometimes you want to go for a walk and you don't want to be watched. You just want to be anonymous and blend in. Especially when I travel I feel that way because I can't really go out and see a city the way other people can and I miss out on a lot.
I really enjoy what I do and who I'm with and where I am. Having said that I'm not really a person of habit because what I do in my job is travel around the world and play concerts to people and occasionally do very weird things.
I've three children three grandchildren I work I travel and I'm very happily married. I'm very satisfied and happy with my life and there really isn't anything I want.
I get cold - really cold - when I travel.
The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.
I'm such a girl for the living room. I really like to stay in my nest and not move. I travel in my mind and that that's a rigorous state of journeying for me. My body isn't that interested in moving from place to place.
The first time probably people really were aware of me I unfortunately had the title of Showtime's Funniest Person in America. And that's a really tough title to travel around with when you're not even known.
And as a character what I found very inspiring about playing Dharma especially at that time is that the women on television were more neurotic than they were free. And I thought this is a rare bird and this is unique on television and I think it's really refreshing.
If you're climbing the ladder of life you go rung by rung one step at a time. Don't look too far up set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how high you've really gone.
I suppose in a way this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters I've done wearing it. When the time comes it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American and a soldier?
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.
I sacrifice in my love life and my social life but those things will be there in three or four years. This is a really important time in my life. I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.
I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it. I think your mind really controls everything.
I really had no great love for shoes. I was a working First Lady I was always in canvas shoes. I did nurture the shoes industry of the Philippines and so every time there was a shoe fair I would receive a pair of shoes as a token of gratitude.
Sometimes overturning brutal regimes takes time and costs lives. I wish it weren't so. I really really do.
Nobody sees a flower really it is so small. We haven't time and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.
Really big people are above everything else courteous considerate and generous - not just to some people in some circumstances - but to everyone all the time.
I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children my grandchildren and of course with my wife.
The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank.
I went from not knowing anything to becoming really curious and wanting to know and respecting people in the industry realizing how hard they work. I will always be thankful for 'Top Model' for that.
I'm really thankful and complimented when people come to me and say thank you for the great times for all these years. But I don't think about it as being a leader.
I'm really thankful to God man. Like now I'm really making a real comeback with my group. With or without a record with or without a movie. And behind all the negative press behind this movie.
There's a lot of women in the WNBA. There's a lot of women who could be here. To be voted by the fans says a lot - that people are aware of what's going on. I'm really thankful. I think they just really appreciate my talent so I'm definitely grateful.
