I read poetry to save time.

The truth is, I've never fooled anyone. I've let men sometimes fool themselves.

I have never cared especially for outdoor sports and have no desire to excel at tennis, swimming, or golf. I'll leave those things to the men.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.

An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.

It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.

I restore myself when I'm alone.

A woman can't be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can't do it by herself.

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.' But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.

I am alone; I am always alone no matter what.

It's often just enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone.

I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made.

If your man is a sports enthusiast, you may have to resign yourself to his spouting off in a monotone on a prize fight, football game or pennant race.

My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night, I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

I've been in relationships in the past where communication wasn't great, and when it is, it makes it so much easier to talk to each other.

I'm always trying to find the balance between diet and fitness that will make my brain function at its optimum. What I discovered works for me is no refined sugars, processed foods, wheat, and dairy - that's when I'm functioning at my best.

I consider fitness, diet, and beauty to be essential to a balanced self.

Don't forget to tell yourself positive things daily! You must love yourself internally to glow externally.

Dating a creative pushes me to think outside the box.

I'm creating my own future.

I feel like when things are really hectic it's important to carve out time for yourself.

A dermatologist you trust is your greatest weapon.

My mom taught me every dance move I've ever known to the Motown hits.

I see the most change in my body through exercise. They say diet determines your weight, and exercise determines your shape - I find that to be a pretty true statement. When I'm doing a lot of boxing, my hamstrings are really strong and my biceps. When I'm doing a lot of Pilates, I find that my core is really lean and my inner thighs.

I remember the first thing I ever tried was the 'eating food for your blood type' diet. It didn't work for me. It left me fatigued and constantly tired.

When I have dinner, I get off my phone, smell my food, and chew it well.

Forward, as occasion offers. Never look round to see whether any shall note it... Be satisfied with success in even the smallest matter, and think that even such a result is no trifle.

Look within. Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble up, if thou wilt ever dig.

Each day provides its own gifts.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Reject your sense of injury and the injury itself disappears.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.

Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.

Death, like birth, is a secret of Nature.

Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

Look back over the past, with its changing empires that rose and fell, and you can foresee the future, too.

Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.'

A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

How much time he saves who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks.

He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.
