"I think a lot of women feel that they cannot do it because it is a male-dominated space, but I think that you will need to go and prove yourself. I have that attitude right from time and anywhere I go, I stand out. I say to women, when you are getting it tough, please do not use your gender because from my experience, men do appreciate women that strive in their walks of life."

"In carrying out duties, gender should not play a role and I do say that to women as a form of encouragement because sometimes you find that women could be self-defeatist."

"I believe that if you want to succeed in anything that you do, it does not come easy. I embrace challenges very well and my mindset is that I do not want anything to stop me."

"Let me get something clear, helping people is not all about handing out alms to them but also creating opportunities for them to feed themselves and others while creating an environment where they could unlock their innate gifts and potentials and that is why I shall remain committed to the poor masses no matter what happens."

"I am not a feminist. I believe that God created men and women to complement each other. Women need to be motivated. And that support is prime on my agenda. Women are the ones that give birth to the men in the first place so if we think that they are not giving us equal opportunities then, let us change the way we nurture them. In other words, it is time to work together as women. Hard work is what has gotten me to this stage in my life and women should emulate that."

"I have always been passionate about the needy. If we all could reach out to the needy by contributing our own quota, then our country will be a better place."

"I am someone that long for happiness. Happiness means a lot to me and I am not interested in financial gains. It means absolutely nothing to me. We must work hard to survive and that is what we must do. One cannot buy happiness and I am grateful that I have that happiness today."

"I have no godfather; I do not believe in ‘godfatherism’. It must be said that ‘godfatherism’ is like ‘cultism’ and self enslavement for life. I will not wish that on my worst enemy."

"I joined the African Democratic Congress because of their ideology at a time when everything in me resisted politics. I couldn’t help but notice the political instability that was going on in Nigeria and in Edo State, hence my decision to join the ADC. For me, it was the only credible alternative."

"I believe they chose me for my position believing I can deliver. I have always been the people’s woman. I care for the poor and the needy as they need a voice."

"Because you could still be a virgin and the end of the day still be a bad person. Being a virgin doesn’t make you better than the next person. That’s basically what I have to say because every person has different perspectives to life; different challenges to life. It all depends on where you’re coming from."

"The joy of my marriage with Catherine and having our children at a point in my life where my career hadn't developed, allowed me much more time to enjoy my family."

"Due to her ambassadorial role for Swansea and her services to film and charity, it is particularly fitting that we are offering Catherine the highest honour we can confer in the 50th year of Swansea's status as a city."

"We have always been hugely proud of Catherine's achievements over the years."

"For the longest time I thought Catherine Zeta-Jones was Latina because of the movie Zorro, but nope she’s Welsh. Now she’s playing the Cocaine Godmother and idk how to feel about it in hindsight. She’s a great actress though."

"She has been as good as her word. Dad and I have had our ups and downs over the years but Catherine is someone who has cemented the family together."

"Got under my skin because I knew she would be so fantastic to play. I mean, morally, everything this woman did and stood for is so the polar opposite of what I believe in and who I am. And of course, this wouldn't necessarily have my name written all over it...and that's what made it so amazing."

"My children and I were profoundly devastated by those allegations, And I was torn about where my absolute morals lie."

"Anything that has an off-the-shoulder, I gravitate to. The dress, too, had a scarf-like detail that recalled the look of a choker."

"I've had a wonderful life in this business, so if they want to do it, they know the hardships and the percentages of who makes it and who doesn't. I just think that they've got the talent and I know that they have the drive."

"I believe it's not what I have done for Swansea, but what Swansea has done for me. I truly love Swansea. I fly the flag wherever I go, and will always call Swansea my home."

"I think happiness is the best tonic for keeping us youthful, Being happy with who you are inside radiates on the outside."

"I wanted to be in film because I was brought up watching great performances by women in their 40s, in the 70s: Anne Bancroft, films like Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, interesting roles for women, at a great age."

"Tatum recently went back to rehab last month, and she is at a facility in Orange County."

"I am very disappointed in Tatum's statements. I had hoped that, after all these years, she would see things more accurately, and that she would share my concern for the welfare of our children."

"That means that my hands stopped working. It means that I can't tie my shoes. I have to re-learn to write. And I definitely need surgery on my left knee and my neck coming up in the next week."

"For me, the biggest achievement would be that I did the best audition that I could do, that I got the role that I really wanted, and that I'm self-supporting through my own contributions."

"I was loved, I was cared for. That's it, that's what one wants, isn't it, in a marriage? I've never met anyone who even comes close to my ex-husband."

"How would I feel if my father were to, say, get sick or die even? Would I be OK? And I realized that I wouldn't be OK. So I knew I needed to make an effort, because what is your life without your family? What's your life without a father?"

"There are people will say, I had it coming or it was probably my fault. Or I deserved it -that’s what America has come to you now. Let’s lead with love and kindness and empathy Towards one another."

"I experimented with women a lot during that time, but that was when I was in my drug phase, so I don't really count it. I wasn't clean, so I wasn't really clear on what I was doing or what I wanted."

"It is what it is. It was a book and it told a story that was sad, and deep, and painful. This book is telling a different story. It’s telling of how I can live the best life that I can when I wasn’t really wanted, in a way. Maybe I was wanted by a fan base because of my work, but I didn’t feel that I was ultimately wanted by my own parents, which was a weird feeling."

"I think so. I was just in a better place. Any time anyone dredges up all that trauma, all those memories, it's difficult to cope unless you have a strong grounding and you're well."

"Rightly so. I had just been arrested for trying to buy crack cocaine on a street corner."

"If you're sad inside and you don't feel loved or wanted on planet earth, once you take something that calms those feelings, it's like Oh boy, this is what it feels like to be made to feel good inside."

"He told me he’s sorry, He’s all I have in terms of family, and I needed him in my life. My dad was absolutely everything to me."

"For years I could hardly look people in the eye, Now that I've burned away the painful debris of my life, I feel courageous and open."

"I'll never have a normal life. But I'll have a great career and I will move people, because for my 38 years, I've packed quite a lot in."

"He was very good-looking. I thought he was charming. It was sort of a chemical attraction or physical attraction, a love at first sight kind of thing."

"Now, she's one of the great ladies I know. She went through a lot of heartache and stuff but she's got her own life now. She lives in Palm Springs and we go to see her all the time."

"I thank all the people who voted for PPC for their trust in me and for supporting our party all through ."

"Political parties should take advantage of this programme so that they send us people who will play significant roles for the development of these parties ."

"Elections were peaceful and transparent. The electorate voted for the candidate of their choice and I don’t have any objection to that; I accept and respect the results that came from the election ."

"This means that 2,000 houses could cost about Rwf25 billion and if the number of the required houses is more, which is likely to be the case if the information we are getting from districts is anything to go by, the total sum could go up to over Rwf30 billion ."

"To achieve sustainable development, everybody should work hard and contribute to the development of the country. It’s time for residents to ask questions and advice you on what to do to improve service delivery."

"I cannot stand as the woman candidate. I am the candidate of a political party. And women, just like men, will choose other candidates. I am not here so that I get the female vote, but to prove that there is equality between men and women in Rwanda. I am not the woman candidate standing for women ."

"I am very honoured to be elected the speaker of FFPP. I promise to continue promoting the interests of our forum which promotes democracy ."

"The Government of Rwanda firmly believes that in order to ensure that there is widespread impact of social protection policies and strategies towards poverty reduction, there is a need for the social ministries and other relevant institutions to forge a closer collaboration and leverage the efforts of each other in understanding and having a shared vision of how we can move this agenda forward towards poverty reduction in our communities."

"Any domestic violence case that resulted in death starts with a misunderstanding that can be contained if people reported it early enough, you need to go out and sensitize people to partner and share with you information about abuses and conflicts happening in homes."

"We must eliminate these vices in our societies but to achieve that we need to work closely with communities and other institutions concerned."
