- I do press junkets and people will tell me what I've supposedly said in articles and I always disagree with myself. 'Why in the world would I say that?'
- Meg Ryan (1963 - ), Oprah Winfrey Show, 2000
- I feel guilty when people say I'm the greatest on the scene. What's good or bad doesn't matter to me; what does matter is feeling and not feeling.

These forces are mainly concerned with destroying most of its potentialities. This enterprise is on the whole successful.
- R. D. Laing
- Wisdom comes with winters.
- Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)
- It's traditional for an heiress to be raised in a sheltered way. No one thinks that's true of me, but it actually was.
- Paris Hilton (1981 - )
- I don't want to be known as the granddaughter of the Hiltons. I want to be known as Paris.
- Paris Hilton (1981 - )
