Big girls don't cry... they get even.

I feel very fortunate to have my children, and I thank God for them every day.

The strong are saying nothing until they hear what the opposition is saying.

I don't like compromise. I'm not very good at it.

It's not a bad thing to have a little fear in your life.

I have the emotions of a child in the body of a woman. I feel so deeply; I feel everything.

Marriage is a covenant, and I can't break it.

I was a child actress, and that's the most difficult thing to get over.

Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and then doing as you please.

I've always admitted that I'm a big snob.

I think more people would stay married if they didn't know each other so well.

My mother taught me everything except how to be married.

I was lucky enough to have great parents who let me do anything, but also taught me the value of hard work.

Glamour is what makes a man ask for your telephone number. But it is certainly not what makes him ring it.

I believe in the power of love and compassion.

Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

I've given birth to four children, and I've had three C-sections, so I know what it's like to be in pain.

The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.

I don't want to be a princess. I want to be a queen.
