Jennifer O'Neill

“If you go into a relationship expecting someone else to fill you up, you're doomed right off.”

“When you are relaxed about where you are at in life, things tend to flow more fluidly. It is as if you poke three holes in a bucket of water. The same amount of water is going to flow out the holes whether you let it flow or you shake the bucket. The difference is the amount of turmoil on the inside of the bucket!”

“I had low self-esteem.”

“One of the biggest favors that you can do for yourself is to accept your loved ones for who they are, and not be constantly disappointed because they are not who you think they should be.”

“You cannot borrow half of who you are from someone else, yet people try to do it all of the time, they just call it a relationship!”

“It's always intimidating to meet an icon.”

“My nemesis - my downfall, if you will - was relationships, and trying to fulfill them.”

“You would not want to be responsible for someone else’s happiness, so please do not hold someone else responsible for yours!”

“Blaming is so much easier than taking responsibility, because if you take responsibility … then you might be to blame.”

“Unhappiness can be like a virus spreading from one person, to the next person, to the next one and so on. When someone is mean or rude to you, do not let their unhappiness infect your own life. If you are the unhappy one, please quarantine yourself so you do not infect others!”

“Forgiveness really is so misunderstood, as well as the power it can release in an individual.”

“I would rather have gotten married than have a Hollywood contract.”

“Forgiveness isn't about condoning what has happened to you or someone else's actions against you.”

“When a person goes into a relationship emotionally needy, they are not going to have discernment in choosing people.”

“Thinking is contagious … so choose whom you surround yourself with carefully! Or at least take precautions so as not to infect yourself with other people’s thinking!”

“When people realize that they have been forgiven of everything, it becomes a little bit easier for them to forgive others.”

“I came to Christ when I was thirty-eight. That transformed my life.”

“A lot of people got lost in Hollywood while trying to become a star. They lost themselves.”

“John Wayne was a consummate gentleman. Bigger than life.”

“We all have human emotions that rob our lives.”
