It is possible for a woman to be a romantic, but also to be single and to be happy.

When I walk with you I feel as if I had a flower in my buttonhole.

I need to keep working on myself for a while.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

I am my own sanctuary and I can be reborn as many times as I choose throughout my life.

Acting is happy agony.

I am happy and I’m single.

I carry a small sheet of paper in my wallet that has written on it the names of people whose opinions of me matter. To be on that list, you have to love me for my strengths and struggles.

Be happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.

Accept everything about yourself – I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end – no apologies, no regrets.

To be happy we must not be too concerned with others.

You have to just accept your body. You may not love it all the way, but you just have to be comfortable with it, comfortable with knowing that that’s your body.

As a body everyone is single, as a soul never.

A woman is like a tea bag – you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.

I am not a dreamer. I am a football romantic.

Speak low, if you speak love.

The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.

A woman has the age she deserves.

I have often been downcast but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary, I treat all the privations as amusing.

Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can’t get it out, I start feeling bad about myself – a lot of self-loathing.

Not everyone loves me, but I have to be okay no matter what they think about me.

I’m not a centerfold.

My only fault is that I don’t realize how great I really am.

It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.

You are not a problem that needs solving.

It takes more than just a good looking body. You’ve got to have the heart and soul to go with it.

Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits; cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!

There is nothing your highest self wants more than peace. This peace makes you feel worthy of all of the richest blessings of the universe, and when you radiate this out into the world, it is returned to you without fail.

Frankly, if I could get away with not having to perform, I’d be very happy. It’s not my favorite thing to do.

I’m not perfect.

The woman who is known only through a man is known wrong.

And when a woman’s will is as strong as the man’s who wants to govern her, half her strength must be concealment.

I love women with attitude.

Over the holidays, and even during filming, I realized that I actually like my body, even if it’s not perfect according to the book. I just feel sexy. For the first time, I don’t want to get rid of the curves. I just want to tone it up. My body is comfortable, and it’s not unhealthy, so I’m going to rock with it.

When you get to a place where you understand that love and belonging, your worthiness, is a birthright and not something you have to earn, anything is possible.

We must be our own before we can be another’s.

I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him.

When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.

I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it, on the inside.

If you would be loved, love, and be loveable.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

Whether I’m wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I’m always the same person inside.

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

We all have our imperfections. But I’m human, and you know, it’s important to concentrate on other qualities besides outer beauty.

Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.

When I say to you, there is nobody like me, and there never was, that is a statement I want every woman to feel and make about themselves.

Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‚I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.‘ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

I love imperfections.

I love being a woman and I was not one of these women who rose through professional life by wearing men’s clothes or looking masculine. I loved wearing bright colors and being who I am.

The day I wake up without cellulite? Now that would be the perfect day.

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinions of himself than on the opinions of others.

Relish everything that’s inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

One ought to hold on to one’s heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.

Deficiency motivation doesn’t work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.

You’re imperfect, and you’re wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

So then, the relationship of self to other is the complete realization that loving yourself is impossible without loving everything defined as other than yourself.

The perfect love affair is one which is conducted entirely by post.

Vanity is the healthiest thing in life.

I want my fans to love themselves. It’s almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.
