Cher

A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.

Anyone who's a great kisser I'm always interested in.

Don't take your toys inside just because it's raining.

Hate crimes are the scariest thing in the world because these people really believe what they're doing is right.

Husbands are like fires - they go out when they're left unattended.

I can trust my friends These people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.

I don't like Bush. I don't trust him. I don't like his record. He's stupid. He's lazy.

I don't need a man. But I'm happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don't fold up and die if I don't have a man around.

I kill myself for my body.

I only answer to two people, myself and God.

I think that the longer I look good, the better gay men feel.

I won't be able to do what I'm doing forever. There aren't that many scripts floating around for fifty-year-old chicks.

I would have gone home to my mother, but I'm not that crazy about my mother.

I'm insecure about everything, because... I'm never going to look in the mirror and see this blond, blue-eyed girl. That is my idea of what I'd like to look like.

I'm learning English at the moment. I can say 'Big Ben', 'Hello Rodney', 'Tower Bridge' and 'Loo'.

I'm scared to death of being poor. It's like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds but is always fat inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It's my pet paranoia.

I'm still friends with all my exes, apart from my husbands.

I've always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me.

If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.

If you're black in this country, if you're a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican?

In this business it takes time to be really good - and by that time, you're obsolete.

It's not necessary, in order to be a complete person, that I have a man. It's not the end-all, be-all of my life.

Men aren't necessities. They're luxuries.

Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong and disposable.

Nothing lifts me out of a bad mood better than a hard workout on my treadmill. It never fails. Exercise is nothing short of a miracle.

Some years I'm the coolest thing that ever happened, and then the next year everyone's so over me, and I'm just so past my sell date.

The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing - and then marry him.

To me marriage is for five or ten years.

Until you're ready to look foolish, you'll never have the possibility of being great.

Women are the real architects of society.

Women have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

Words are like weapons; they wound sometimes.

Yes, it's a man's world, but that's all right because they're making a total mess of it. We're chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it's a difficult task, but it's not.

You've probably noticed already that I'm dressed like a grown-up... I apologize to the Academy, and I promise that I will never do it again.
