Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
Being sad and being depressed are two different things. Also, people going through depression don't look so, while someone sad will look sad. The most common reaction is, 'How can you be depressed? You have everything going for you. You are the supposed number one heroine and have a plush home, car, movies... What else do you want?'
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.
If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don't appreciate the moment until it's passed.
There are certain wicked people in the world that you can't deal with except by force.

However, people need to understand that it ain't that deep to try and convince people of what your persona is. You are who you are, and what you are will show in time.

There are many actors who want to pursue that same thought in real life as well, and that's perfectly acceptable.
A lot of people are crazy, cruel and negative. They got a little too much time on their hands to discuss everybody else. I have a limited amount of energy to blow in a day. I'd rather read something that I like or watch a program I enjoy or ride my damn motorcycle or throw back a couple of shots of tequila with my friends.
One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.
Let's be very clear: Strong men — men who are truly role models — don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful. People who are truly strong lift others up. People who are truly powerful bring others together.
I'm not an example for how people should live their lives. Never in my life would I ever set out to be an example for people on how to live their lives. If you need an example for how to live, then you just shouldn't have been born. Straight up.
