If fortune favors you do not be elated; if she frowns do not despond.
Nature is our eldest mother; she will do no harm.
First lady has been a thankless position. Eleanor Roosevelt was brilliant and had strong views. She was criticized for her politics and for her appearance. Mrs. Roosevelt was attacked for being too involved in politics. Bess Truman was criticized for being uninvolved in politics.
I even asked Eleanor Roosevelt difficult questions and she loved it.
My favorite electric guitar would have to be my Duesenberg. I've named her 'Dolores,' and she sings like an operatic menace.
When I was little... I didn't relate to princesses. I saw Maleficent, and I just thought she was so - she was so elegant.
That's the Elektra I tried to portray: one that's always in the grey. She is a tortured soul.
She doesn't understand the concept of Roman numerals. She thought we just fought in world war eleven.
Elizabeth Taylor is gorgeous, beautiful, and she still is today, I'm crazy about her.
If you saw Queen Elizabeth it would be amazing, she came from another planet. She was so attractive in what she was wearing.
J. Lo, whether she is good or bad, is like a fiery movie star, a throwback to Elizabeth Taylor in her heyday.
Elizabeth I was my favourite monarch though, what an inspiration, she did great things for women.
Elizabeth Taylor. In her heyday, she was amazing.
The classic hat image was during the Forties and Fifties, and Elizabeth Taylor was the epitome of that; she was the ultimate celebrity of excess and glamour, and she worked major sun hats.
The decisions that Ellen made on her show were between her and her producers. I supported her decisions. I was there to hug her when she got home.
That little Miley Cyrus... she's like a little Elvis. The kids love her because she's Hannah Montana, but what people don't realize about her is she is such a fantastic singer and songwriter. She writes songs like she's 40 years old!
One of the many pleasures of 'Versailles' is the way in which it seems to emanate not only from the vexed inner being of Marie Antoinette but from the interstices between what we imagine of her and what she was.
I've totally embraced it. I like Princess Leia. I like how she was feisty.
One of my favorite songs is 'Ghost' by Indigo Girls. Emily Saliers wrote that, and she is one of the most talented songwriters ever.
Emily Dickinson seems rather tame because she pretty much uses the same meter every time. It's called 'common meter.' It's a line of four beats that's followed by a line of three beats.
