Art Quote by Cher

“I want to be really special, I want to be really good. It's not enough to be famous for me. Famous is empty so quickly, it's not what people think it is. It's wonderful, but if you're famous and you feel that you're an artist inside and everyone thinks you're just a celebrity, it's really painful.”

I think I am a product of my mother's sensibilities and my mother's values. There has been lots of battling and lots of love and it's never an easy road for us. But in the deepest recesses, I do have my mother's values.

People are negative no matter what you do.

I have a belief: What belongs to you, comes to you.

My relationships usually last a few years. When I'm involved with a man, other men are fascinated with me, but the minute I'm single again, half of those men disappear because they don't have the balls to really want me.

Do you believe in life after love?

One thing about prejudices -- once you break one of them, you're screwed, because then they all have got to go.

Where's my white collarless shirt from Fred Segal? It's my most capable-looking outfit!

If I want to put my tits on my back, it's nobody's business but my own,

A girl can wait for the right man to come along but in the meantime that still doesn't mean she can't have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.

I've never compromised who I am not ever. If I've gotten anywhere in my life it's been on my own merits.
