"People see you one way and think, 'That's not her real thing, she's just putting that on now.' But that is! That's where my creativity really resides. Where it all springs. My characters are really bizarre. They're kind of dark and not really considered great people. It all comes from the same dark place, it's just filtered through comedy."

"If I weren't an actress playing a socialite, I'd have lavender hair, wear crappy vintage clothes and have tattoos. I'd be some kind of crazy lawless rebel - an alternative underground riot girl."

"Two days ago, I dreamt I married a 5-year-old boy. He treated me like a queen and was perfectly lovely. We took a driving trip for our honeymoon. Then it dawned on me: 'Oh my God! He doesn't have a driver's license! We could get arrested!'""

"I'm really good at staying home all day in my pajamas because I had a [dad] who did that."

"You don't need someone else's approval to do what you want; just figure it out and do it, damn it!"

"I've been going to the same grocery store for 13 years, and all of a sudden one day everybody was like, 'Oh, my God...'"

"See, I thought that Jay has had too many high class, very hoity-toity guests on this week. And I wanted to bring everything down a notch or two."

"He's kicking such major ass that it's insane!"

"It doesn't matter who you love, it's that you love. Who cares if men marry men or women marry women? In San Francisco you don't care, and I applaud that. And I applaud Mayor Newsom for being so brave."

"If you are going to call yourself a Christian—and I don't—then you have to ask yourself a fundamental question, and that is: Whom would Jesus torture? Whom would Jesus drag around on a dog's leash? How can Christians tolerate it? It is unconscionable. It has put our young men and women who are over there, fighting a war that they should not have been asked to fight— it has put them in greater danger."

"Limbaugh hasn't had a natural erection since the Nixon Administration; think he's compensating for something? Now, I wouldn't pick on him for any of this stuff, not his blubbiness, not his man-boobs, not his inability to have a natural erection -- none of that stuff -- to me, off limits until! until! -- Mr. Limbaugh, you turn that sort of gun on somebody else -- once you start doing that, you're fair game, fat boy. Absolutely, you jiggly pile of mess. You're just fair game, and you're going to get it, too. [Laughs] You'd better watch what you say, Limbaugh, because it can come back the other way."

"In private, you got what you got in public. He treated everyone the same. He was just a very warm man, and he worked hard to impress upon his children the value of kindness. He was biologically incapable of gossip. There was no smallness in him."

"I would be unelectable. I'm an atheist. As we all know, that is something people won't accept."

"Carlson: Give me the chronology of the kiss. How did you decide to kiss Madonna? Spears: Well, actually, in rehearsals, it wasn't something that was like, "Y'know, This is what we're gonna do. Y'know." It was just kinda like we play around a little bit and, um, she said during—before the performance, "Let's just feel it out and see what happens." So I didn't know it was gonna be that long and everything, but it was cool."

"I look back and think I'm a smart person! What the hell was I thinking?"

"In the summer of 2021, the world was shocked to learn that Britney Spears had been forcibly inserted with a contraceptive IUD as part of her legal conservatorship, and that her father had control not only of her finances, but her performance schedule, access to her children, and ability to visit with her boyfriend. These are just some of the rights that are routinely stripped from people with mental illnesses and disabilities, and for those who lack the public visibility and privilege of someone like Spears, there is almost no recourse."

"Britney’s been doing it since she was like 13. It's kind of fair that she had a little bit of a meltdown. I mean, she's been through a lot. I think she's gonna be alright now. She's an intelligent girl."

"Watching Britney Spears the other night [on the MTV Video Music Awards] was like watching a public execution. How could the people at MTV, the people around her, not know this girl was fucked up? People came in expecting a train wreck, and they got more than they bargained for."

"Every time I look at that girl on television, I admire her, not because she's a celebrity—I don't admire her celebreality—I admire her because she's a child of God and doesn't know it. I'm talkin' 'bout Britney Spears. It breaks my heart. Anna Nicole, it broke my heart. You know, I knew what she was doing, I didn't like what she was doing, but I know she's a child of God, and I see people all the time, who have so much that don't know they have, so much beauty, inner beauty, and so much going for them that they don't know they're goin', but the Devil will take everything from you if you don't know who you are in Christ."

"Her song is called "Gimme More" for a reason: because all you people want is more, more, more, more, more! Leave her alone! You're lucky she even performed for you bastards! Leave Britney alone! Please!"

"Yes, I've done Britney Spears, but don't blame me, okay? I make her up and she just takes everything off and does her own thing."

"Every day The sun comes up again A little hope begins"

"If I said my heart was beating loud If we could escape the crowd somehow If I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me? 'Cause you feel like paradise, and I need a vacation tonight So, if I said I want your body now, would you hold it against me?"

"Someday I will understand In God's whole plan And what He's done to me Oh, but maybe Someday I will breathe And I'll finally see I'll see it all in my baby"

Like, the other day, like I was sitting there and I saw these magazines and they said I was pregnant, and like, it's so true. Like America, believe everything you read. Because, like, you're smart and I'm stupid. Like for real. Come on y'all."

"With a taste of your lips I'm on a ride You're toxic, I'm slipping under With a taste of a poison paradise I'm addicted to you Don't you know that you're toxic"

"Oops!...I did it again I played with your heart got lost in the game Oh baby baby I did this to you please forgive baby"

"Sometimes I run Sometimes I hide Sometimes I'm Scared Of You"

"My loneliness is killing me (and I) I must confess, I still Believe (still believe) When I'm not with you I lose my mind Give me a sign! Hit me Baby One More Time!"

"Saying 'no' is so heartbreaking."

"I'm so blessed with my baby. And I want the most normal life possible for him. And I'll manage, I will create that."

"There's always a way. Where there's a will there is a way. You have to believe."

"You have babies at home. And you have a life. And if you don't, you have to realize that we're people and that we just need privacy and we need our respect. And those are things that you have to have as a human being."

"There will be a "Oops 100." They'll be plenty more oopses. I'm not perfect. I'm human."

"Oh, I've wept. Yeah, I've definitely wept just with the world, you know, how judgmental they are. You know what, I know I'm a good mom."

"That driving incident, I did it with my dad. I'd sit on his lap and I drive. We're country."

"I think with anybody who's doing well in the public eye or whatever, there's always gonna be a shift because people don't wanna see somebody happy all the time. And they're gonna try to take shots at people."

"I'm very, very blessed. But my safety, my privacy, and my respect are three things that I feel like are trying to be taken away from me right now. As a mother I have to speak up and say something. I have to speak up."

"The only person I do worry about, that I want to be a good person for, I think is my responsibility, is my sister. I'm going to be cool for you, okay. I like, I need to, I like being by myself right now. I think it's good for me."

"I think honestly if you can wait until you're married I think you should definitely do that, because it's so much more sacred. That you don't go around sleeping with people. But I mean, I really thought I was going to be with him for the rest of my life, I did."

"Everyone now, they look back and they're like, "What happened to your sweet image that you used to be?" And I'm like, then when you came out you thought I was too provocative. It's like you can never win. No matter what you do, at the end of the day you can't please everybody, you know. I'm not here to please..."

"About shocking. You know I feel comfortable in my skin. I think it's an okay thing to express yourself."

"Honestly, I think we should just trust our president in every decision that he makes and we should just support that, you know, and, um, be faithful in what happens."

"Sundance is weird. The movies are weird—you actually have to think about them when you watch them."

"I think I'm still clean living, you know? That's something, when I—I don't go home and have orgies or anything like that. I'm still the same person that I've always been. So…."

"Eat it, lick it, snort it, fuck it!"
