I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

You're not going to say anything about me that I'm not going to say about myself. There's so many things that I think about myself if someone really wanted to get at me they could say this and this and this. So I'm going to say it before they can. It's the best policy for me.

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between I occupy myself as best I can.

I maintain my inner beauty by trying to lead a balanced life in general. I try to eat healthy foods but... that doesn't mean I won't treat myself now and then! I work out almost every day which gives me more energy and helps me feel stronger. I also try to be a genuinely good person to the people around me.

I like to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to a cause so that I have more impact. My goal is to shed light on the beauty of the ocean and how important it is for our planet.

I know that I've got big ears and a big forehead and that my hair sticks up. But I'm happy with myself. I'm not necessarily trying to win a beauty pageant here.

I remember reminding myself that beauty is an opinion not a fact. And it has always made me feel better.

A few years ago I lost 30 pounds and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly I'm happy with myself if I'm a little heavier. I realized: 'Why am I trying to conform to someone else's idea of beauty?' I think I'm beautiful either way.

I like the idea of accessibility coming from a lower-middle-class background myself I feel like beauty and products should be accessible to all women over the world.

Well I've never looked upon myself as being a beauty per se.

I'm really proud of myself because I've pared my beauty regimen down to a cream blush and berry-tinted lip balm which has saved me so much time.

I am not fighting for success just to get more beauty out of myself and share it with more people.

I tell myself that God gave my children many gifts - spirit beauty intelligence the capacity to make friends and to inspire respect. There was only one gift he held back - length of life.

That's one of the nice things. I mean part of the beauty of me is that I'm very rich. So if I need $600 million I can put $600 million myself. That's a huge advantage. I must tell you that's a huge advantage over the other candidates.

A series of rumors about my attitude as well as derogatory remarks about myself and my family showed me that the personal resentment of the Detroit general manager toward me would make it impossible for me to continue playing hockey in Detroit.

I just try to try to keep an attitude that I don't know what I'm doing. Not to the point where I'm beating myself up but I just go in thinking that I have a lot to learn. And I hope I still have that attitude 30 years from now.

So at a time in which the media give the public everything it wants and desires maybe art should adopt a much more aggressive attitude towards the public. I myself am very much inclined to take this position.

My attitude on skis is different now. I have learned to put less pressure on myself and on the edges of my skis when I'm racing to be keep myself more under control.

My personal view is that such total planning by the state is an absolute good and not simply a relative good... I do not myself think of the attitude I take as deriving from Marx - though this undoubtedly will be suggested - but from Fichte and Hegel.

I came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more just hoping for an occasional inspiration.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

I'm not dead and I don't have blue hair but some people say there are similarities. It is usually intolerable to watch myself onscreen but this time it's fine. I think it's beautiful and a real work of art.

Anyway I feel myself a bit on the edge on the art world but I don't mind I'm just pursuing my work in a very excited way. And there isn't really a mainstream anymore is there?

And I have exposed myself to art so that my work has something beyond just the usual potter.
