You know, I feel sorry for the young artists.
A young bride is like a plucked flower; but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
My system for staying young is to work a lot, to always have a project on the go.
I want to be a young mum and if I didn't have to work I'd have them tomorrow. I'd like three!
I think that there are more opportunities for young women in America than there are in Tanzania. But I also think there are many of the same problems.
I like the feeling that I'm giving young women self-confidence. It sounds so cliched, but it can be very moving.

When you are a young person, you are like a young creek, and you meet many rocks, many obstacles and difficulties on your way. You hurry to get past these obstacles and get to the ocean. But as the creek moves down through the fields, it becomes larg...

What would my first sergeant do if he came across me and another girl getting it on? He'd want pictures. He'd want to join in. He'd want me and this other girl to double-team him right then and there. On the other hand, since most heterosexual men ar...
Suddenly I realized that I wanted everything to be as it was when I was younger. When you're young enough, you don't know that you live in a cheap lousy apartment. A cracked chair is nothing other than a chair. A dandelion growing out of a crack in t...
