“I try and have family time, all the time, so you know, I get to see them a lot. And I'm always with my friends, my boyfriend, it helps me keep grounded and kind of sane.”

“Be sure of yourself, don't let anyone bully you, be a strong and independent woman or boy.”

“We all stick up for ourselves and I think that's why we stand out, because we really don't care what other people think.”

“It's hard for people to see you one way, but you're really the other way, so it's kind of like, 'Who am I, who are you?' Sometimes, I confuse even myself.”

“I think the biggest misconception about me is people really don't know who I really am. They see the party side of me, they see the crazy side of me. But I also have a laid-back side. You know, I'm chill, down to earth. If you want to grab a cup of coffee and just talk about life, I can do that.”

“I have an education, I went to college, you know?”

“Just want to set the record straight. I'm single and I'm not going to get married!”

“I'm trying to build an empire, because after this, I cannot get a normal job.”

“It's important to be true to yourself and your vision.”

“I don't go tanning anymore because Obama put a 10 percent tax on tanning. McCain would never put a 10 percent tax on tanning. Because he's pale and would probably want to be tan.”

“People go tanning because they like to feel tan. You feel more sexy when you're tan and I don't understand why you would tax on that, because you're making yourself feel more happy about yourself.”

“I've calmed down already. I don't hook up anymore.”

“When you're tan, you feel better about yourself.”

“Some exfoliates have rocks in them and it makes your skin really smooth, and cat litter is a good substitute. I haven't broke out at all yet!”

“I'll always be this crazy, fun person, but when it's time to get married, I'm going to be an amazing wife.”

“You're going to have haters and you're going to have lovers.”

“You have to remember that reality shows capture your worst moments.”

“The guys you see me bring home, we're only cuddling and making out like any other person would do, but we're on camera and the whole world's seeing it, and it does look like I'm having sex.”

“I think you see more of like, the party side of me, which I call Snooki, it's kind of my alter ego.”

“I think I just realized that having a problem - an eating disorder - it's not healthy and you can actually die from that. I realized it's not worth it and you just need to be healthy.”
