“Hosting the Oscars is like making love to a beautiful woman — it's something I only get to do when Billy Crystal's out of town.”

“Love makes a woman beautiful –
but beauty does not have such power, beauty cannot make a woman worthy of love.”

“I'm not seen as classy enough to host the Oscars.”

“Out of ugly, I think the most important thing to do in life is to make something beautiful.”

“I love being a beautiful woman when I look at myself in the mirror.”

“Only a woman can make you feel wrong for doing something right.”

“The only acting you ever see at the Oscars is when people act like they're not mad they lost. Nicole Kidman was smiling so wide, she should have won an Emmy at the Oscars for her great performance. I was like, "If you'd done that in the movie, you'd have won an Oscar, girl."”

“I don't call every woman a woman, whether you like it or not... There's only one thing that makes a woman beautiful and that's haya (modesty) and wafa (loyalty). If you don't have those, I call you non-women.”

“You need Power,
only when you want
to do something harmful
otherwise
Love is enough to get everything done.”

“And that's when I realized that believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is like making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.”
