Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection.

Respect is one of life's greatest treasures. I mean, what does it all add up to if you don't have that?

If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!

If there is only one thing in my life that I am proud of, it's that I've never been a kept woman.

Sometimes I think it would be easier to avoid old age, to die young, but then you'd never complete your life, would you? You'd never wholly know you.

Thug Life to me is dead.

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.

I have so much chaos in my life, it's become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax, calm down, take a deep breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they're wrong.

For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
