I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.

I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.

I will come up with a project that will wipe out poverty in the Philippines in two years. I want to remove the people from economic crisis by using the Marcos wealth. Long after I'm gone, people will remember me for building them homes and roads and hospitals and giving them food.

To have someone to relate to and hopefully enjoy the music and get a positive message out of it, to make the best music that we possibly could, those were the goals.

Food has always brought me comfort and the bingeing is triggered when I'm in a space that is not positive.

I kinda see everyone as competition. I'm a very competitive person. But I think that's good. Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.

I really don't know anything else because my brothers were famous when I was two years old. So I know nothing else, no other life.

There is a moment when you get older when your metabolism slows down and you don't feel like working out any more, so you don't want to keep yourself fit any more, but that's your decision. Why should you be judged for it?

I am the baby in the family, and I always will be. I am actually very happy to have that position. But I still get teased. I don't mind that.

I would hope my legacy would be bringing smiles to faces. Happiness with my music.

People tend to put entertainers on pedestals. We're human beings, just like you. You may see us smiling, and whether we have money or not, we still have bills to pay, we still have our stresses. I think a lot of people want to focus on others' shortcomings to make themselves feel better. And it's a very sad thing.

Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsiblity to be equal members of society.

In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us, don't let your eyes deceive you.

In complete darkness, it is only knowledge and wisdom that separates us.

I'm no expert. I have no psychic powers, and I sure don't possess any secret wisdom. I'm just Janet. I have strengths, weaknesses, fears, happiness, sadness. I experience joy and I experience pain. I'm highly emotional. I'm very vulnerable.

There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.

I was very independent growing up, but there were things that were bothering me that I never told anybody. I would talk to our animals at home.

Another side to me is this very sexual being. When I look back on my life, it's always been there. It's been there since I was 10 years old, having the imagination that I had.

I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.

Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.

Do not fear death so much but rather the inadequate life.

Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.

Poverty makes you sad as well as wise.

Don't be afraid of death so much as an inadequate life.

Intelligence is not to make no mistakes, but quickly to see how to make them good.

The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn.

There are many elements to a campaign. Leadership is number one. Everything else is number two.

Mixing one's wines may be a mistake, but old and new wisdom mix admirably.

The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don't understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.

Charity is a supreme virtue, and the great channel through which the mercy of God is passed onto mankind.

The practice of charity will bind us - will bind all men in one great brotherhood.

My new hotels will play a leading role in promoting world peace.

I do believe we're all connected. I do believe in positive energy. I do believe in the power of prayer. I do believe in putting good out into the world. And I believe in taking care of each other.

Art has the power to transform, to illuminate, to educate, inspire and motivate.

Theater is my temple and my religion and my act of faith. Strangers sit in a room together and believe together.

You know, I always got offered other stuff. Not the romantic leads, obviously. But very often it's a role that's underwritten, where the character has no personality at all. And they need a character actor who can fill it in.

I've been dating since I was 15 years old, and I just don't seem to do it well.

State-sanctioned marriage is a civil contract, period. A contract is not a judgment of moral value. It is a legal agreement between two parties that testifies to a meeting of minds between those consenting entities. It is not a religious act or rite and so has nothing to do with Adam and Eve or Steve or even Harvey.

Beware of anyone who says they know. Trust me, they don't, or they wouldn't have to say they did.

When a politician like Marco Rubio is willing to sacrifice his career defining immigration reform legislation solely to insure that gays and lesbians are denied equal protection under the law, we have to admit that we're under attack. This is not pragmatic politics at work. These are the policies of bias, exclusion and unfairness.

The great thing about suicide is that it's not one of those things you have to do now or you lose your chance. I mean, you can always do it later.

To work all the time is to be incredibly lucky.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear.

I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.

I have an almost religious zeal... not for technology per se, but for the Internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up.

Unless someone truly has the power to say no, they never truly have the power to say yes.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.
