This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt

I think when you get married, it’s not a totally free ride – it’s not without its unglamorous periods and its fights and its angry noons and silent dawns or vice-versa.

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

Bias has to be taught. If you hear your parents downgrading women or people of different backgrounds, why, you are going to do that.

Your experience will be a lesson to all of us men to be careful not to marry ladies in very high positions.

When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy-that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.

Usually I’m on top to keep the guy from escaping.

A lot of people believe what other people say.

You know the funny thing, I don’t get along with rich people. I get along with the middle class and the poor people better than I get along with the rich people.

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

I think men are afraid to be with a successful woman, because we are terribly strong, we know what we want and we are not fragile enough.

Take it from a guy: If you’re in love with somebody, you will swim the stream, you will climb the mountain, you will slay the dragon. You’re going to get to her somehow, some way.

I don’t think members of the royal family sign prenuptial agreements

I do not believe in mixing of the races. You can quote me. I don’t believe in it, and I never have. I’ve never changed. I’ve never changed my hair. I’ve never changed my color, I have always been proud of myself, and my fans are proud of me for remaining the way I’ve always been. I married a white man one time, but he was a creep.

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
