Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster)

I think that's one of the most important gifts we have in television - the ability to heal through laughter.

Merilu Henner

Babies act out when they're hungry, cold, tired. They do this for survival.
Marilu Henner

Because I work with so many people on the east coast, I get some work done before I get the kids up.
Marilu Henner

Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.
Marilu Henner

Everyone thrives most in his or her own unique environment.
Marilu Henner

Feeling a little blue in January is normal.
Marilu Henner

Foods high in bad fats, sugar and chemicals are directly linked to many negative emotions, whereas whole, natural foods rich in nutrients - foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes - contribute to greater energy and positive emotions.
Marilu Henner

Healthful whole foods improve our brain function as well.
Marilu Henner

However, don't let perfectionism become an excuse for never getting started.
Marilu Henner

I also think stress is related to control. When you're in charge of your life, you tend to not care about losing control of things that don't really matter like traffic jams.
Marilu Henner

I always say centered food equals centered behavior.
Marilu Henner

I definitely enjoy being in front of people which gives me that exciting immediate rush.
Marilu Henner

I eat all of the time... at least five little meals a day.
Marilu Henner

I like getting up early. I get up around five.
Marilu Henner

I love the producer, Joel Rice. We worked together years ago putting a project together.
Marilu Henner

I play the unsinkable Molly Brown, which is where she got her name from, because she survived.
Marilu Henner

I took anatomy classes. I went to medical libraries and talked to doctors and nutritionists. I did the whole thing before using myself as a human guinea pig.
Marilu Henner

I totally changed my life, changed my lifestyle.
Marilu Henner

I'm a girl who loves to share information, especially empowering, life-changing, information.
Marilu Henner

If I'm right in the middle of a deadline, I'm up really early.
Marilu Henner

It is now common knowledge that the average American gains 7 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.

Billy Dee Williams

Failure's not a bad thing. It builds character. It makes you stronger.
Billy Dee Williams

Originally I planned on starting a teapot collection. I really like them.
Billy Dee Williams

Agnetha Faltskog (ABBA)

I can spot empty flattery and know exactly where I stand. In the end it's really only my own approval or disapproval that means anything.
Agnetha Faltskog

I have always had strong maternal instincts. Even when I was still a child I cut out pictures of prams from newspapers and imagined the feeling of pushing my own pram through fresh winter snow and seeing the wheels' tracks behind me in the snow.
Agnetha Faltskog

I may have aimed too high sometimes, asked too much of myself and demanded too little from those around me.
Agnetha Faltskog

I must be allowed to be as I am.
Agnetha Faltskog

It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn't keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don't regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don't want to go into!
Agnetha Faltskog

It's strange that the newspapers don't see a connection between their false revelations about my private life and my need for seclusion and security.
Agnetha Faltskog

My path has not been determined. I shall have more experiences and pass many more milestones.
Agnetha Faltskog


There is a danger of changing too much in the search for perfection.
Agnetha Faltskog

There was a time when the music fell silent. Both within me and around me.
Agnetha Faltskog

This idea of trying to repeat a success doesn't interest me. It's only really done to make money.
Agnetha Faltskog

When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity, which is where I found myself for a large part of my life, it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity, like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!
Agnetha Faltskog

Maya Angelou

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Maya Angelou

Nothing will work unless you do.
Maya Angelou

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.
Maya Angelou

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
Maya Angelou

All great achievements require time.
Maya Angelou

I believe that every person is born with talent.
Maya Angelou

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.
Maya Angelou

Eddie Murphy

I've always had confidence. It came because I have lots of initiative. I wanted to make something of myself.
Eddie Murphy

I'm 42 and the age of a guy who has kids, so I guess I'm playing right where I'm supposed to be. I'm comfortable with that, but in the same breath I'd do something edgy. If someone came to me and offered me an edgy and funny story, then I'd do it.
Eddie Murphy

The thing about kids is that they express emotion. They don't hold back. If they want to cry, they cry, and if they are in a good mood, they're in a good mood.
Eddie Murphy

I'd like to produce, direct, write, score, and star in a film in exactly the way Chaplin did. I'll do that before I'm thirty.
Eddie Murphy

I've made 30 movies and for the most part my movies work. In a business where success is an exception and not the rule, I've mostly been successful.
Eddie Murphy

You know, making a movie is a collaborative effort and sometimes all the ingredients don't work out. I know that every now and again I am going to make a movie that won't work.
Eddie Murphy

In the original script, my character was a basketball player rather than a boxer. I didn't think I could pull that off. I'm a little short to be a basketball player!
Eddie Murphy

Marvin P. Gaye Jr.

Detroit turned out to be heaven, but it also turned out to be hell.
Marvin Gaye

Great artists suffer for the people.
Marvin Gaye

I am not going to be dictated to by fans, certainly. I am dictated enough to by my record company to last me a million years.
Marvin Gaye

I hope to refine music, study it, try to find some area that I can unlock. I don't quite know how to explain it but it's there. These can't be the only notes in the world, there's got to be other notes some place, in some dimension, between the cracks on the piano keys.
Marvin Gaye

I sing about life.
Marvin Gaye

If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.
Marvin Gaye

Marriage is miserable unless you find the right person that is your soulmate and that takes a lot of looking.
Marvin Gaye

Most fear stems from sin; to limit one's sins, one must assuredly limit one's fear, thereby bringing more peace to one's spirit.
Marvin Gaye

Music, not sex, got me aroused.
Marvin Gaye

Negotiating means getting the best of your opponent.
Marvin Gaye

War is not the answer, because only love can conquer hate.
Marvin Gaye
