“Age shouldn't affect you. It's just like the size of your shoes - they don't determine how you live your life! You're either marvellous or you're boring, regardless of your age.”

“You're the outcast / You're the underclass / But you don't care / Because you're living fast
You're the uninvited guest that stays to the end.
I'll be scraping your life from the sole of my shoe tonight" Bring It On Down”

“Age is a terrible thief. Just when you're getting the hang of life, it knocks your legs out from under you and stoops your back. It makes you ache and muddies your head and silently spreads cancer throughout your spouse.”

“Women not girls rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama (not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
U don't have 2 watch Dynasty
2 have an attitude
U just leave it all up 2 me
My love will be your food
Yeah.”

“Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.”

“So you're tired of living
Feel like you might give in
Well don't.
It's not your time”

“Live your life and forget your age.”

“If you don't like the scene you're in, if you're unhappy, if you're lonely, if you don't feel that things are happening, change your scene. Paint a new backdrop.”

“So many women have experienced horrific forms of male violence throughout their lives, and why isn't there a song about how you get depressed because of it? And you don't know what to do, and you don't know how to talk to your friends and how weird it is to be a feminist in that situation, where there's sort of the expectation that you're super-strong superwoman but you're just, like, eating pizza in your house avoiding talking about it.”

“They don't respect you. It's almost as they think they have the right to your life just because you're a celebrity. I don't accept that.”
