“The press is always looking for a little twist to a story and what I've learned is that it all turns out very superficial. So you need to become what they want, you need to give what they put out.”

“What you need isn’t always what you want.”

“Always start out with a larger pot than what you think you need.”

“"Life is like a sewer — what you get out of it depends on what you put into it." It's always seemed to me that this is precisely the sort of dynamic, positive thinking that we so desperately need today in these trying times of crisis and universal brouhaha.”

“Wildflower: Don't let people walk all over you, Buttercup. It's your life. If you want something, you need to get out there and grab it by the horns because no one is going to give you what you want on a plate. Good girls always come second.”

“You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them.”

“First you find out what you have, Dad would say. Then you figure out how to make it work for what you need, 'cause you don't get what you want. You get just what you have and no more.”

“What I want is what I've not got, but what I need is all around me.”

“That's when you know for sure somebody loves you. They figure out what you need and they give it to you -- without you asking.”

“At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality.”
