2. It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.
3. Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius.
4. Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.
5. We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle.
6. If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.
7. A woman knows by intuition, or instinct, what is best for herself.
8. A smart girl leaves before she is left.
9. I don't want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.
10. What do I wear in bed? Why, Chanel No. 5, of course.
