Cher

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

Husbands are like fires – they go out when they’re left unattended.

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.

Words are like weapons; they wound sometimes.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Women are the real architects of society.

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

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.

To me marriage is for five or ten years.

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

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

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.

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.

Men aren’t necessities. They’re luxuries.

I only answer to two people, myself and God.

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?

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

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

I kill myself for my body.
