The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing – and then marry
him.

Anyone who’s a great kisser I’m always interested in.
– Cher

I haven’t a clue why I’ve lasted so long. There’s no reason. There are many people more
talented than me. I think it’s luck.

I only answer to two people, myself and God.
– Cher

It’s not necessary, in order to be a complete person, that I have a man. It’s not the end-all,
be-all of my life.
– Cher

In this business you have to be tough, and if someone pushes me really far I can certainly be impossible. I’ve always said, “If you’re nice they walk over you and if you stand up for
yourself they call you a bitch.”
– Cher

Women have to harness their power – it’s absolutely true. It’s just learning not to take the
first “no.” And if you can’t go straight ahead, you go around the corner.
– Cher

I’ve always taken risks and never worried what the world might really think of me.
– Cher

I can trust my friends. These people force me to examine myself, encourage me to grow.
– Cher

Nothing lifts me out of a bad mood better than a hard workout on my treadmill. It never fails. To us, exercise is nothing short of a miracle.
– Cher

I’m scared to death of being poor. It’s like a fat girl who loses 500 pounds, but is always fat
inside. I grew up poor and will always feel poor inside. It’s my pet paranoia.
– Cher

I’m a perfectionist, my own boss. If someone isn’t pulling their weight, I let them know. I’m a nice person but you can’t say yes to everyone.
– Cher

I don’t read magazines; I don’t like disposable culture.
– Cher

I don’t know what keeps me down to earth, but it sure isn’t ironing. I send mine out.
– Cher

Some years I’m the coolest thing that ever happened, and then the next year everyone’s so over me, and I’m just so past my sell date.
– Cher

If you are going to wait for someone to encourage you to do something, you just better give up.
– Cher

Going hungry never bothered me – it was having no clothes.
– Cher

For better or worse, I never plan my life. I focus on today. I love spontaneity. That is what
has put me in some strange and wonderful places in my life.
– Cher

Hate crimes are the scariest thing in the world because these people really believe what
they’re doing is right.

So fuck ’em!
– Cher

I think that the longer I look good, the better gay men feel.

If you really want something you can figure out how to make it happen.
– Cher

I feel like a bumper car. If I hit a wall, I’m backing up and going in another direction. And I’ve hit plenty of fucking walls in my career. But I’m not stopping. I think maybe that’s my best quality: I just don’t stop.
– Cher

Yes, it’s a man’s world, but that’s all right because they’re making a total mess of it. We’re
chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it’s a difficult
task, but it’s not.
– Cher

Husbands are like fires – they go out when they’re left unattended.
– Cher

Until you’re ready to look foolish, you’ll never have the possibility of being great.
– Cher

I don’t need a man, but I’m happier with one. I like to have someone I can touch and squeeze and kiss. But I don’t fold up and die if I don’t have a man around.
– Cher

Women are the real architects of society.
– Cher

Some guy said to me, “Don’t you think you’re too old to sing rock n’ roll?” I said, “You’d better check with Mick Jagger.”
– Cher

Men should be like Kleenex – soft, strong and disposable.
– Cher

I don’t like Bush. I don’t trust him. I don’t like his record. He’s stupid. He’s lazy.
– Cher

I’m not a role model, nor have I ever tried to be a role model. The only thing about me as a role model is I’ve managed to stay here and be working and survive. For 40 years.
– Cher

In this business it takes time to be really good – and by that time, you’re obsolete.
– Cher

The truth is that in my job becoming old and becoming extinct are one and the same thing.
– Cher

I don’t really care what he does to his face. He can just erase it as far as I’m concerned.
– Cher, on Michael Jackson

There are lots of things I’d like to be, and nice just doesn’t seem good enough.
– Cher

If you’re black in this country, if you’re a woman in this country, if you are any minority in this country at all, what could possibly possess you to vote Republican?
– Cher

Honesty makes me feel powerful in a difficult world.
– Cher

Living your life the way you want to live it is the most important thing so if you have to pay
small prices along the way, it’s not important.
