Quotes :
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
Fear is stupid. So are regrets.
If you can make a woman laugh, you can make her do anything.
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space.
I am not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful.
I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it.
I restore myself when I'm alone.
If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere.
When it comes down to it. I let people think what they want. And if they care enough to bother with what I do, I already know I'm better than them.
