We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.
Katharine Hepburn

When I started out, I didn't have any desire to be an actress or to learn how to act. I just wanted to be famous.

Some people wanted champagne and caviar when they should have had beer and hot dogs.

If God wanted us to bend over he'd put diamonds on the floor.
Joan Rivers

I don't excercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.

Joan Rivers

If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I'm sometimes scared of everything that has happened to us. We didn't think Desilu Productions would grow so big. We merely wanted to be together and have two children.
Lucille Ball

It kills me to lose. If I'm a troublemaker, and I don't think that my temper makes me one, then it's because I can't stand losing. That's the way I am about winning, all I ever wanted to do was finish first.
Jackie Robinson

After the Republican Party did everything that Colin Powell says it needs to do to grow, and nominated the very kind of candidate he wanted in 2008, what did Powell do? He endorsed Obama!

Rush Limbaugh

Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism.
Bette Davis
